Estimating a $45 maint service call over the next 5 years = $225.

It doesn't even have ductwork yet which is why I am estimating around $6k or so.

Do nothing before you will estimate how much it will cost to replace this tenant (unite update and time and may be eviction).

What reserve % would you estimate for repairs and CAPEX on the structures considering the following year built ranges:  From 1960 to 1970?

I'm going to get a walk through with my contractor to confirm my estimates are correct and a time line to remedy the issues.

Before you get contractors to give you estimates, you are going to want to look at the numbers.

I have experience in construction project scheduling/control and BIM design/estimates.

A family of 4, Moving from out of town. they filed a chapter 13 in 2012 to keep their house in socal. due to recent job they had to move, will have a contract job for a year at local college. current credit score is 790. my rent is on par with zillow estimate.. income wise, they made the 3x gross multiplier.

It's a fun exercise to divide the replacement cost by your estimate of the items useful life to calc out how much you should theoretically have in your reserve fund each year.I'm a long ways from theoretical, but at least I know how far off I am.Best to you.

I'm purchasing a home and the lender has sent me over the estimated closing costs.
