So those may last another 3, 5, 7+ years (if you haven't recently replaced them), but you will want to budget for them in your calculations.You could potentially account for less in your budget for vacancy, repairs, and cap ex, and you might be able to show an estimated positive cash flow, but in my short time on this site, I think most would suggest that in your budgeting, you should budget more for those expenses, rather than less just to try to make a deal "work."
