@Mike SmithyIts been a while since I was licensed in Texas, but I seem to recall that the landlord can only deduct actual financial loss, in the event of a premature vacancy.

There were also a number of vacancies.

Average tenant stay of over 5 years.7 evictions in 17+ years out of >1,000 tenants.Income reliability: Our clients had zero decrease in rent and zero vacancies during the 2008 financial crash.

I wanted to see how everyone else is doing with their rentals in North County San Deigo.We have rentals in the Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad, and San Marcos areas.We have noticed a shift in our vacancies.

The resulting increase in crime drove many of the other residents out, leading to high vacancy rates and constant police calls.

Research sales, rental rates, and vacancy rates, and learn about financing alternatives such as VA Loans, FHA Loans, and 203k Loans.

I would t go much lower unless you can estimate rehabbing accurately or bear in mind the asset class to vacancy and other variable cost issues rising.

OP would likely be ~$1500/month negative on current property as a rental when including maintenance/cap ex, vacancy, PM, misc.  

@Rahul Sivaswamy if you use the BP Rental Calculator, it defaults to 5% Vacancy, 10% PM, 10% Maintenance, etc.These are all pretty good estimates, except the Vacancy factor of 5%.

It’s also helpful to run conservative numbers and plan for vacancy or maintenance issues that might be harder to manage from afar.
