Numbers requested by Pili to demonstrate the effects of rent rate and vacancy.
First, I will use 1.5 months vacancy even though my avarage tenant stays for over 2.5 years and if you take 1.5/25 you get 5% which is what I use to calculate vacnacy.
Second, I will use $1500/month rent. According to the comps of leased listings the average lease is $1.57/square foot. $1.57* 989 square feet= $1552.73. Although current Orange County properties that make sense on a cash flow are not in A location I still do not recommend any of my clients to be slum lords. Therefor, I recommend having a clean nice property that will rent in the upper end of the comps. If you are a slum lord and have properties that are beat up you will attin the neighborhood within reason.
