Frequently Asked Questions
What does break-even rent include?
It includes operating expenses, debt service, vacancy, and any cash-flow target you set.
Can I include other monthly income?
Yes. Other income reduces required rent to reach your target.
Why does high vacancy push required rent up?
Higher vacancy means less collected rent, so asking rent must rise to cover the same fixed costs.
