Deferred maintenance is a loan.
The interest rate is brutal.

The dripping valve becomes the rotted subfloor. The hairline stucco crack becomes the water intrusion. A widely cited facilities-management rule of thumb says every $1 of deferred maintenance can become roughly $4 of future repair. Model your backlog below — with an interest rate you choose.

$1 → ~$4
The often-cited facilities rule of thumb: each dollar of maintenance deferred can multiply into roughly four dollars of eventual capital repair.

How fast mold can start once a "minor" leak wets material. Small water problems are the fastest compounding category.

Your backlog

Everything on the "we'll get to it" list — roofs, plumbing, drywall, paint, trip hazards, that unit nobody rents.
Your assumption. The common rule of thumb is ~4×; pick what matches your property's risk.

The math

Fix-it-now cost
$25,000
Estimated future cost if it waits
$75,000
The "interest" you'd pay for waiting
$50,000
Avoided by acting now
$50,000
Plus the un-modelable costs: tenant complaints, liability exposure, units you can't lease, and losses that become insurance events.
How Movara closes a backlog
Walk it → scope it honestly → phase it by risk → photo-verify every fix
The cheapest day to fix it was yesterday. The second cheapest is today.

Bring us the list you've been avoiding. We'll scope it straight — what's urgent, what can phase, what it really costs.

How this is calculated — honest notes

Future cost = backlog × your multiplier · Interest = future − now

The 4× figure is a long-standing facilities-management rule of thumb (often traced to federal facilities studies); real escalation varies by system, climate and luck. That's why the multiplier is a slider you control, not a claim we make about your property.

Estimates are illustrative models of your own assumptions, not predictions or quotes. Actual repair scopes and costs are determined by on-site assessment. Work requiring a general contractor classification is performed with B General Contractor support through partner George Martinez Construction (GMC) and disclosed clearly in contracting.
