I assure you I am not paying ~$30k in maintenance on my ~$400k house every year... that would be comical

Add it up and work it out; factor out the land if you must (e.g., pretend it’s a landlord business and you’re renting to yourself).
Maintenance items add up, and some only happen every 20-30 years, it can hit hard. A new roof every 30 years at $10k is already noticeable.
