PropAlly puzzles/ Puzzle #5
A: $650 a week with 4 empty weeks. B: $600 a week with 1 empty week. Which collects more rent in a year?
Fictional example
The answer
Property A collects $31,200 and Property B collects $30,600. The extra $50 a week is worth more than the three extra empty weeks here.
Management fees, letting fees and interest aren’t included. A letting fee for a new tenant would narrow the gap.
Puzzle #2 had a higher rent that lost. Vacancy and costs decide which way it goes.
Weekly rent × weeks rented is the starting point for any comparison.
PropAlly tracks rent and vacancy for every property, so comparisons use real numbers instead of guesses.
