When comparing two properties for investment, one with a lower purchase price but higher expected void periods compared to another, how can I adjust my rental yield calculation to realistically account for potential lost income from empty months?
Quick Answer
Adjust rental yield for void periods by reducing total annual rental income by estimated lost rent and holding costs during empty months. This gives a more accurate picture for investment comparisons.
