What % Do you Use for Repairs, Vacancy, Cap Ex, Mgnt Fees?

Jeffrey R. White

I am new to BP and signed up for BP Pro Subscription and am diving right in on property analysis.  My goal is a property by the end of October.

IN regards to the Rental Property Calculator I am wondering what are the typical numbers you use for:

Repairs, Vacancy, Cap Ex, Management  Fees

I have run 10 properties in 2 days and am going:

Repairs - 5%

Vacancy - 5%

Cap Ex - 5%

Management Fees- 8%

Are these numbers in the ball park?  Would you pad these a tad higher for a little more $ reserves?  I got these numbers by listening to various podcast.  I would love to hear your thoughts.

BTW I have found 1 property (4 plex) with a cash flow of $1190.00 and a CoC Return around 16%. Calling a realtor tomorrow!

Thank you!  Jeff
