I am using the BP rental calc to evaluate properties for potential rental performance. What numbers is everyone using for their expenses?

I am using:

Vacancy- 6%-8% this gives me one months rent at 8% or just enough to usually cover PITI at 6%

CAPEX- 5% - If i were to have to replace a roof at 15 yrs, $8k roof/ 15 yrs = $533 yr /12months = $44 a month for CAPEX.

Repairs- 5% - for the unknown or unexpected repairs

Property Management- 12% - If I need PM to place and manage a property for me. 

Thoughts?
