Well to start no ones replacing a roof or windows in a 10/20 year timeframe

As well, if you don’t have a chimney or areas of water ingress a poorly maintained roof can last 20+ years. So some of those replacement timelines are a bit much

Appliances, depending on what you buy can be very cheap, albeit more likely to fail, etc.

Depending on the house, you could do zero maintenance and still be fine, and the way prices have been the last 10-15 years, a poorly maintained house isn’t really a deterrent for purchase. Whereas a building that has poor management, no contingency, and issues with envelope etc. Are massive red flags to potential buyers even in this climate
