Understanding Vacancy Costs
Vacancy is often underestimated in real estate investing, leading to financial pitfalls. It's essential to account for not only lost rent during vacancy periods but also the costs involved in preparing a property for new tenants. For example, getting a property ready after a tenant leaves can rack up expenses such as painting and flooring, which can average around $4,000. By failing to budget appropriately for these turnover costs, investors risk significantly diminishing their returns.
