Does anyone have a list of Capex's that you use to evaluate?

[Igor Messano]

I am trying to get better at evaluating my deals and one of the things I am looking for is to better estimate capital expenditures. I am okay with generalizing maintenance expenses by a % of the rent depending on the age of the property but I really hate doing that for Capex.

One of my properties is in an emerging market in which rent prices are steadily rising every year. The property is non traditional in a sense that it is TINY. We are talking about 750 sq ft. The roof is a flat roof which costs about $1100 to replace in our area. 

I want to build more precise worksheets so I can have a better idea of the true cash flow in the future. Does anyone have a list of Capex's that they use to do the same? I want to do this for existing properties and for some of my next deals.
