There is also a high water bill that is still being raised which also hurts during vacancies and buy and hold.

You need to consider maintenance, there will be expenses, vacancy as well, but you should be fine.

Property management companies have the real data (especially about vacancies) but it's hard to get that info when they are trying to get your business.

I of course would also like to maintain 0% vacancy although rents should remain flat forthe year as I did a lot of adjustments and restructuring this year.

Also, you'll need to consider your cash on hand for closing costs, vacancy (while you get it leased), repairs, fix-up costs, utility connection fees, advertising & marketing, and legal fees (for your contracts, setting up LLC or other entity).

Is this time of year generally slow to fill vacancies?

Additionally, some sort of vacancy projection should be used in the inevitable event that you are between renters or someone does not pay.

And the repairs may be more than the missed rent during vacancy.

Also remember to factor in vacancy.

The current manager is doing nothing to fill vacancy either.Details that I have thus far:$6,659.33/mo + utilities ($17/sq ft + CAM + tax + ins)$500/mo approx current utilities (gas, electric & garbage)3800 sq foot building19 rooms + 1 larger room10 tenants currentlyShe offered to take over current managing and pay existing rent and utilities.
