The 1% Rule
One popular rule of thumb for ongoing maintenance says that approximately half to one percent of the purchase price of your home should be set aside each year for ongoing maintenance. For example, if your home cost $500,000, you should budget anywhere between $2,000 to 5,000 per year for maintenance depending on the size of the property, single story or double.
That doesn’t mean you will spend $5,000 a year. It just means that on average, over a long period, say ten years or more, you’ll spend around $3,000 annually to fully maintain your property according to this rule of thumb. Some years you may spend far more for instance re-blocking or a roof replacement for instance, could potentially cost between $8,000 to $15,000.
Other years you will spend far less, you may just have some painting, plastering or have to replace a hot water service or cooker, either way if the maintenance is not kept up on your property then as years go by the repair costs will blowout, so sticking to the One Percent Rule is a good cost cutting benefit in the long term for all investors.
