- 03Higher estimate: $5,250
- 04Monthly reserve: $5,250 / 12 = $437.50
Häufig Gestellte Fragen
Which method should I use?
Use the higher of the two for conservative budgeting. The percentage method works better for higher-value properties, while the per-unit method is more practical for multifamily properties.
Does property age affect maintenance costs?
Absolutely. Newer properties (under 10 years) may need only 0.5-1% of value, while older properties (over 30 years) may require 2-3% or more as systems age and need replacement.
What is the difference between maintenance and CapEx?
Maintenance covers routine repairs (leaking faucets, HVAC servicing). Capital expenditures (CapEx) are major replacements (new roof, furnace replacement) that extend the useful life of the property.
