Hello,Working with some partners to decrease vacancy rate of 160 residential units in a large Ohio town near Columbus.

First, wouldn't it be better if you used the actual rents in your calculation instead of the potential full vacancy or are you confident you will fill that up here soon?

And i'd add, with Oklahoma having an above average vacancy rate, almost double the national average you may want to rethink where to buy.   

We may also expect to see reductions in subsidized housing and other social assistance, with the attendant increase in vacancies and turnovers.

Industry standard is 10% per monthly rent for vacancy, repairs and maintenance and capital expenditures.

Question does anyone have advice on finding vacancy rates for a particular area?

They could rent out an investment property to a regular tenant but they wouldn't be guaranteed 100% vacancy and a responsible party to look after the property. 

Hello Experts,I am doing REI for the last 3+ years and analyzed many offerings from different turnkey providers and noticed the following:1) Providers are selling properties above market value; charging a premium ($10-$15k more)2) Neighborhoods are at most B- or C or D3) Numbers are not really working; -ve cash flow or less than $100 cash flow if you add 5% vacancy + 5% maintenance.

HOA), vacancy ...My monthly cash flow after expenses amounts to approx. $800.

If the tenant wants a month to month you can't plan your vacancies.
