I am using the following numbers:Vacancies - low in my area so I'm using 8%Repairs - 5% of rental incomeCapital Expenditures - 5% of rental income + 1% for every decade over 20 yrs property age (i.e. 7% for a 40 year old house)Management - 12% (expecting 10% + 1 mo per new tenant)So this adds up to at least 30% of my income.
