Reserves for Repairs
For repairs, do you use a percent of gross rent or do you use a flat number, like say $100 per unit? To me, it seems to make more sense to use a flat number since repairs don’t seem like they’d cost more in a 1000 sqft home that rents for $1800 than one of the same size that rents for $1200.
