Western North Carolina (WNC) Cap. Ex. Numbers?
So I did the rookie move of taking the generic capital expenditure numbers from a book as a starting point for cash flow evaluations. I'm looking for an initial house hack where I treat myself as a tenant for evaluation of the deal. I was curious if others with more experience could offer some WNC area specific corrections for modern times on the Cap. Ex. numbers. The bottom two totals are the annual and monthly normalized cost for adding to cash flow analysis.
Capital Expenses (Cap Ex) | Cost ($) | Life (Years) | Yearly $ | Monthly $ |
Roof | $5,000.00 | 25 | $200.00 | $16.67 |
Water Heater | $600.00 | 10 | $60.00 | $5.00 |
Floors | $2,000.00 | 6 | $333.33 | $27.78 |
Windows | $5,000.00 | 50 | $100.00 | $8.33 |

This will be highly dependent on the specifics of the property.
What type of roof 12/12 pitch 4/12 gable, metal, shingles, etc?
Electric or gas hot water heater?
How big is the deck and driveway?
Driveway gravel, paved, concrete?
Happy to help with what I know if you want to send me a message.
