What are your REAL avg capex and maintenance numbers?

[Allen L.]

How do your capex and maintenance numbers on long term hold rentals compare to your assumptions? Looking to get some clarity on this matter -- a lot of people on BP suggests a percentage method, which I think can be a miscalculation for cheaper and older SFHs because a lot of capex is fixed, but rental income, size of house, vintage of house, type of neighorhood factors into the calculation. That aside, I hope to take an average of other BPer's and compare it to my assumptions to see how much I'm overcharging/undercharging myself. Give me your best inflation adjusted number if possible.

But in general, here are my assumptions when I look for properties:

SFH

capex: 2250

maintenance: 500

total: 2750

Duplex

capex: 3100

maintenance: 900

total: 4000

Triplex

capex: 3900

maintenance: 1300

total: 5200

Fourplex

capex: 4800

maintenance: 1600

total: 6400
