Your question leaves a lot of questions. We`re not really sure what you`re asking... however:
If you are asking how to discern what vacancy expense to use in your pre-purchase analysis, I recommend you take the CMHC vacancy rate for the area and double it. Take your rent multiply it by this percentage. That will give you your annual `rental vacancy expense`. If you are analyzing your property on an annual basis, use this number, if you are analyzing it on a monthly basis divide this number by 12.
Trust this helps!
How do I get the CHMC vacancy rate for the area.. I went on the website but can not find it.
