With more focus on the inflation of the money supply, investors are allocating less to Treasuries, pushing bond prices down and yields up since they move inversely.Mortgage rates which are closely tied to the 10-year Treasury yield, are rising as those yields climb.

@Brett Riemensnider You can claim expenses related to your rental property, even with a homestead loan, by allocating costs based on the 75% rental usage.

I just don't know how to allocate it.

& track my job costs against each category so I can compare my budget vs actuals and calculate the variances.For example:Electrical Budget: $4,000Electrical Actual: $6,300Variance: +$2,300This process is more tedious because you have to breakdown each invoice or receipt and allocate the costs to each Category, but it really helps you understand where you are spending your money and why you went over budget.Otherwise, it sounds like you are having trouble measuring employee productivity?  

@Matthew PosteraroIt comes down to how much capital do you have to allocate, and how many units you are looking to acquire with your capital.

Perhaps it's more sensible to grow where I am before allocating my resources outside of my own market...

For expenses like utilities, property tax, and insurance, I estimate a 3% yearly increase.However, keep in mind that if you do renovations in the first year, it’s likely you won’t need the full 5% repair allocation for the first or even second year.

@Ray Lai I do have 5% allocated for property management in my numbers.

@Kyle Kline I don’t generate huge amounts of cash flow but when I analyze a property to buy I make sure the income will cover an allocation of usually 5-7% for CapEx, Repairs, and vacancy.
