I'm spit-balling here, so forgive anything dumb .... Really just trying to help, as I've been in situations similar
\- 2nd mortgage or HELOC to cover the roof?
\- Perhaps try and go short term cheap and cover the existing for a few years.
The other thing to consider, what's the history in your immediate area? Meaning what's the likely hood you'll need to pay out 2K? Last year, a hurricane destroyed 1/2 a property I owned. The only thing I got done immediately was the roof. Everything inside was on hold until I paid the deductible.
That said, homeownership is fantastic. Good on you. Stay the course. You're building wealth, even if takes some time.
One last piece of advice, and I don't think new homeowners here this enough. When you rent, the monthly payment is the ceiling of your 'home' expenses. When you own, the mortgage is the floor.
