CapEx (Capital Expenditures)

Big-ticket replacements — roofs, HVAC, water heaters — that keep a property running long-term.

CapEx is the silent budget killer for landlords. Roofs and furnaces fail on their schedule, not yours; reserving 5–10% of rent monthly turns emergencies into line items.

Example: A $12,000 roof with a 20-year life is effectively $50/month.
