Thirdly, a 20% of gross rents factor for maintenance and vacancy is only accurate if 1) the property is FULLY stablized (new roof, new furnace, new windows, and so on)--and most of the TKRs I've seen do NOT meet this standard by a long shot, 2) if the property is VERY aggressively managed--heavy screening, prompt eviction, quick re-rent--a practice not common amongst most property managers, and 3) aggressive maintenance is done to maintain the capital repair items (changing furnace filters bi-monthly, cleaning gutters in the fall to avoid failure, maintaining metal roofs, cutting back trees to avoid roof damage, etc--again, uncommon amongst property managers).
