I would say around 50%, but there are a lot of factors that play into it. For brand new Class A, you will be around 35-40% vs vintage class C you will be between 55-65%. It really will depend on the utilities and who pays them, tax rates, insurance rates and overall age of the property. Also, very high rents vs very low rents. If you can rent for a major premium, then the expense to income ratio will be low.
