What % Do You Use for Expenses & Vacancy on a Rental Property?

[Brandon Sturgill]

Do you have a standard percentage you use for evaluating a rental property...I feel comfortable with 10% across the board...any thoughts?

Vacancy

CapX

Repairs...

Thanks

I'd argue there are more people who don't analyze deals enough, and end up with negative cash flow properties because they ignored basic expenses...such as vacancy and maintenance...
