Maintenance costs too high?

I have been renting single family homes. This is my first foray into a multifamily home. I have not spent more that 5% on maintenance on
single family. I do fix most of the minor leaks and repairs on my own.

Is the 16% on maintenance in the proforma un/reasonable?

Thank you for your feedback,
Rye
