Explanation of Inputs
Property Age The age of the building helps estimate wear and tear. Older properties generally require a higher percentage of income allocated to maintenance than new construction.
Total Number of Units Enter the total number of rentable units in your portfolio or building. This allows us to calculate costs on a per-door basis.
Average Monthly Rent The average rental income per unit. This figure is often used to calculate maintenance rules of thumb (e.g., the 1% Rule or 50% Rule).
Annual Routine Maintenance The estimated yearly cost for standard upkeep, such as landscaping, pest control, HVAC filter changes, and common area cleaning.
Turnover Rate (%) The percentage of units that become vacant and re-rented each year. Higher turnover increases make-ready and repair costs.
Average Turnover Cost The average cost to prepare a single unit for a new tenant, including painting, deep cleaning, and minor repairs.
Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Reserve Funds set aside for major, infrequent replacements like roofs, parking lots, or HVAC systems.
