Real-World Use Cases

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using 0% vacancy in investment analysis. Even in the strongest markets, budget at least 3% to 5% vacancy for turnover between tenants.

• Not differentiating between physical vacancy and economic vacancy. Economic vacancy includes concessions, bad debt, and below-market rents.

• Ignoring the cost of preparing a unit between tenants. Paint, cleaning, minor repairs, and marketing costs add to the true cost of vacancy.

• Assuming vacancy is constant. Seasonal markets may have significantly higher vacancy during off-peak months.
