Vacancy Rates, Washington investors and Seattle area in particular

Hello BP!

I am just getting started in my REI career and am interested in how experienced landlords estimate vacancy rates when looking at a potential investment.

Is there a website/trade journal you subscribe to?

Is this something that can only really be figured out with experience?

I understand that vacancy rates often depend heavily on the property itself, so do you just use a general rule of thumb when running the numbers on a property?
