ParticipantZero for maintenance?? I am shaking my head. Ok, I can see painting DIY. Forget about handiness (which we don’t have). What about plumbing and wiring issues? Fixing, or maybe replacing a roof? The materials cost a ton even if you do it yourself. Let’s say you buy an older house that needs the roof to be replaced? How much is that? can you pay it out of one of your monthly paychecks?

ParticipantThat is true. Even though the OP provided quite a bit of a financial info about himself, only he knows what EXPENSES he has every month. For all we know one of his family has to travel a lot for personal reasons, or has an expensive hobby, or a medical condition, or kids take expensive classes/tutors, or he wants to save more for college or retirement etc.
At the very least the OP should try practicing that – putting aside the difference – $1500 let’s say for about 1 year. Shouldn’t be a problem for the OP, since he thinks it would take him another 2-3 yrs to save 50K – i.e. 17k a year or more… but nevertheless he should try.
Does anybody have a guesstimate how much to assign for maintenance?
