[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wait is 1% of 800k 8k? bc no way do we spend 8k a year on repairs.[/quote] This is a good rule of thumb for most people, and is over the life of the house. Sure it might be high for some people, but not a bad rule of thumb. For example, your roof WILL need to be replaced, as will the HVAC system, water heater, etc. at some point. Those big one time charges spread over many years may come to ~1%/yr.[/quote] Roof it like 6k and happens every 25 - 35 years, HVAC is about 6K every 12-15 years, water heater is 1K every 12-15 years etc... WTF are you people paying. Are you all selecting the over priced DC area contractors?[/quote]
