Operating expenses include taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, vacancy allowance, entity maintenance, legal fees, evictions, court costs, advertising expenses, lawsuits, office supplies, damage done by the tenants (above the deposit) and capital expenses (which are included in the 45% to 50% number but are not technically operating expenses) etc, etc, etc (all the things that happen in the real world).Mike
