The other unit is empty after we vacated the previous tenants and remodeled it - we have been looking for a tenant to place in it for about two months.

I generally prefer empty properties because, no matter how much legwork you do, you can't be 100% sure about the tenant in the property.

However, many of those units are now sitting empty, and housing managers are offering incentives to lure renters.

Make sure the deal cash flows even if one unit is empty. • Neighborhood Selection: In Newark, it’s block-by-block.

Target C/B blocks near jobs, underwrite on in‑place rents with a vacancy and repair buffer, and stress test the payment if one unit is empty.

David my apologies for posting empty replies.

I'll just be nickeled and dimed if 2 units are empty as they are now.

We paid just over $80K for this property on the edge of a town of ~5,000 (within walking distance to a nice park and grocery store) with ~7 acres and an adjacent (now empty) building lot included.

Their customer service is terrible — full of excuses, empty promises, and zero follow-through.

Everyones tired of empty promises from every single brokerage.
