## Resource

In this episode of "We Are TPM," hosts Kyle and John Teixeira dive into the intricacies of understanding a healthy vacancy rate in real estate markets. The discussion extends to how vacancy rates vary between different property types and across various regional markets. The episode is packed with practical advice for real estate investors looking to optimize their portfolios and maintain healthy vacancy levels. Key Takeaways: • Understanding Vacancy Rates: A balanced vacancy rate is crucial for maintaining market stability. It typically ranges between 5-8%, with deviations indicating potential market adjustments. • Effects of Fluctuating Vacancy Rates: Low vacancy rates can drive up rents, leading to unaffordability, while high rates may result in rent concessions and decreased landlord profitability. • Market Dynamics: The North Texas rental market is examined, revealing a 7.1% rate influenced by regional development trends and socio-economic factors. Notable Quotes: • "Investors obviously love low vacancy rates, but most of them don't think about the pendulum swing that's going to come back." - Kyle Teixeira • "You put your home out there at a certain price because you think that's the price it should be at. The market says no because no one goes to look at it." - John Teixeira • "So if we have a rate that's too low, so let's say below 5%, then you don't have enough supply. Rents are going to go up to a point of unaffordability." - John Teixeira Listen to We Are TPM on any major podcast platform including Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, and many more.
