I'm 20 and this'll be my 1st buy and hold so don't want to make any rookie mistakes.

If there's an error in the way they filed this, then it's on them. 

I would mitigate through trial and error and as much common sense as possible.

You are overestimating these numbers.Speculations as to why: tenants in these particular rentals may be tolerating a lower standard of maintenance than you think and thus everything wears longer than you think it will, I may have a different relationship with my maintenance people than you do (actually I don't let my management company do anything and I'm very involved in maintenance, I know how to do practically every necessary task, I manage people directly and sometimes I'll do a few things), there may be an error in your calculations such as you're assuming two units in a duplex don't share as much as they really do (they still share roofs, yards, and many other things), or something else entirely.Either way, your numbers are way too high and I will not be able to answer why in more detail or provide you with my exact numbers without spending a significant amount of time on this. 25% ain't too far off.
