The numbers are not really arbitrary, and they are based on a specific market - Memphis.The reason I used percentages for most items was so that I would be able to do as close to an apples to apples calculation.

Clearly in general the class D will have the higher maintenance/cap ex.What I recommend is every RE investor populate a spreadsheet with current replacement costs and expected average life span in months for every item on the property to determine the expected monthly maintenance/cap ex.
