How to determine life expectancies for each Capex item

How does one usually find out life expectancies for Capex items such as roof, appliances, heater, etc. What is the most efficient way to get this data? I suppose the home inspector may be able to provide most of this information except for appliances?

    Appliances 7-10 years Furnace and ac 10-15 years Roof 25 years Water heater 6-12 years Of course these are averages but nice to know. My opinion and experiences managing hundreds of homes. Also, don’t buy cheap brands. Not worth it.

    Thanks John. But how would you go about finding out how old each of the items are on your list for each property you analyze?
