How vacancy changes rental return

A vacant month reduces annual receipts even when advertised rent looks high. Test longer vacancy before basing a decision on a best-case scenario.

Practical steps

  1. Calculate receipts at twelve occupied months, then repeat at eleven and ten.
  2. Add expected marketing and turnover costs between tenants.
  3. Compare net yield in each scenario with available cash reserves.

A point to check

Assuming permanent full occupancy can inflate a return that exists only on paper.
