Think of it this way, for example...If your rent is $2000 but it is vacant for 2 months that means your effective growth income (EGI) for a year lease = $20,0000But if you lower it to $1900 & it sits vacant for only 1 month your EGI for a year lease = $20,900You can play with the rent numbers & how long you think it could remain vacant, but at the end of the day the most expensive route is vacancy.
