Rental Investment Planning: Test the Cost of an Unavailable Unit

Medro Advisors · Research and commentary from Don McClain

By Don McClain | Founder & Principal, Medro Advisors

For a non-owner-occupied rental acquisition, do not assume every unit can produce rent immediately. Check whether planned work, access restrictions or a utility interruption could make a unit unavailable. Document the affected dates, the evidence behind the estimate and the operating costs that continue during the interruption. Keep the scenario separate from the base plan so a reviewer can see what changes. Medro Advisors can discuss investor-financing needs subject to program eligibility and underwriting. This planning exercise does not establish an appraisal, rent opinion or loan approval.
