Capital expenditure (CapEx) refers to major property improvements that increase long-term value, like a new roof or HVAC system. Operating expenses (OpEx) are routine recurring costs like minor repairs and cleaning.
In practice
A property manager explains that replacing all windows is CapEx, while fixing a broken latch is OpEx.
