Here’s a number investors shouldn’t ignore.
How long could you afford to own this property without a tenant?
Rental income might look great on paper, but vacancies happen. And when they do, the mortgage, insurance, property taxes, and maintenance expenses don’t stop.
Before purchasing an investment property, I want to know whether the numbers allow for periods without rental income.
Because a property that only works financially when it’s occupied 100% of the time may be riskier than it initially appears.
