Vacancy & repair percentages

[Account Closed]

If you figure a 2 month vacancy rate and 12% monthly repair expense, do you actually set aside those amounts and save them for future use? I have had a rental for 6 years that has never been vacant. I can understand saving 12% a month for repairs to have reserves for large items, but if you have a property that isn't struggling with vacancy much do you just pocket that money? That can make a big difference in the numbers as far as cash flow Thanks Patrick
