hold 3-5 years before upgrading—do I still consider CapEx?
Should I still consider CapEx for a SFH (had it at about $150/month) for monthly cash flow if I only plan to hold a property for 3-5 years? Long term vision is to consolidate properties into a large multi family.
Any and all advice is appreciated!

@David Lund yes count for it but also know in your strategy you will likely have excess funds if everything goes as planned. If everything doesn't then you have some funds to cover it.
