Deal analysis- cap ex, repair, etc
Hi BP,
I am analyzing a deal but I am not sure how much% of monthly rent I should consider as cap ex and repair. Any conservative number? Some says 5%, the other says 10%. I may put 8%. Does this sound reasonable?
I consider these as cost
P&I
HOA
Insurance
Tax
Cap ex
Repair
PM
Closing cost
Rehab
Am I missing anything?

@Andre Williams, I use 15% of GSR for repairs and CapEx combined, but I'm pretty conservative with my numbers.
You're forgetting vacancy, utilities, trash, lawn care, snow removal, marketing, legal. They won't be applicable to every property, but you need to at least be aware of them.
