"I think 5% should be the bare minimum. If you don't have any vacancy, great. that's just a bonus that you're getting more rental income back in your pocket. But I think 5% should be the bare minimum and then you can kind of increase it to there. So depending on the property, like sometimes I'll go as high as 10% to save per line item. So that's 10% for vacancy, that's 10% for capex, 10% for repairs and maintenance."
