Vacancy is simply when your property isn't producing rent because either nobody is occupying it (physical vacancy) or even worse they are occupying without paying ( that is called Economic vacancy) And this is where new investors sometimes get too optimistic. They run the numbers assuming: "I'll collect rent every single month." Real life doesn't always work that way. Tenants move. Units need repairs. Properties sit empty. So when you're analyzing a rental, don't just ask: "How much rent can I collect?" Ask: "What happens to my numbers if the property is vacant?" 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

You might hear investors say they're doing a BRRRR. It stands for: Buy RIGHT Rehab or (add Value) Rent Refinance Repeat Here's the idea: Buy a property that needs work. Fix it up Rent it out based on the highest and best case use of the property ( sec8, STR etc.) Refinance based on the property's new value, so you can get your money back. Then potentially use some of the capital you've recovered to buy another property. Then do it again. Sounds too good to be true ..It can be—but the numbers have to work. The renovation cost, new value, rent, financing and other expenses all matter. 𝗕𝗥𝗥𝗥𝗥 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆. Learn the language. Understand the numbers.
