With the colleges here, typical vacancy rates for every landlord I have talked to is a practical 0%.

I would probably do everything I could to find a different place to live (leaving you in the lurch with a month's unplanned vacancy).

Not great. 750 p and i on a 30, plus t and i plus maintenance minus vacancy plus misc.

It also doesn't fully account for vacancy rates for the area and other things more experienced analysts can estimate better than I.That being said, in my own searches for properties, I have aimed for no more than $40k per door, with around a $100 per door cash on cash return after expenses.

Utilities are separately metered and paid by tenants Expenses: Taxes $2100 Water $1200 Insurance, I don't know Repairs, 10%, 1440 Reserves, 5%, 720 Vacancy, 1200 Net income of $7032 Both tenants have dogs.

Call advertisements(Rent ads, CL etc..)...most RE investors looking to fill vacancies...Ask questions, seek to help fill a vacancy, request a time to connect..some will shut the door, but not all...Take ACTION..good luck!!

Understanding and negotiating commercial leases is a whole separate body of knowledge to acquire or hire.Depending on the terms of the commercial leases and the local apartment market I would build in a vacancy factor to the NOI.

., and would try to find up and coming areas within those cities with low vacancy, low crime rates, and decent school districts.

There was no vacancy and actually a waiting list.This would be a great way to build the community and have passive income!

I am told they will not come down much at all...80K = 20% down600/month = vacancy rate (not had a vacancy in years but I would rather plan for it)435/month = taxes230/month = repair fundUtilities paid by tenantsexpenses = 1465/month 400k @ 6% = 2398/month5000 income / 3863 in expenses = 142/month/unit_________ This doesn't look like a good buy at all …maybe I am missing something??
