What Percentages do you use for your expenses?

[Jonathan Barreneche]

Hey guys and girls,

So when using rental property calculators what % do use for the expenses and growth monthly?

I’ve been using

5% vacancy 

10% repair costs 

5% CapEx

10% management fees

I assume all utilities will be handled by the tenants. I use the following for yearly expenses and budgeting

3% annual Rent increase 

3.5% annual home appreciation 

2% annual repair cost increase

And I close it out with a final 9% sale/closing cost for when that time comes.

So any numbers exaggerated or understated here? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

@Jim C. CapEx is capital expenditures. it's big ticket repair items like Roofs or windows, etc.
