Vacancy Rate

Vacancy rate is the percentage of time a rental property sits empty and not generating income. It’s a key indicator of both property performance and market strength. A lower vacancy rate means more consistent rental income and better cash flow. Smart investors look for markets—and management teams—that keep vacancy rates low. At Meridian, we pre-lease homes during construction and have a proactive tenant retention strategy, helping our clients enjoy steady occupancy. Keeping vacancy low is one of the simplest ways to boost returns and protect your investment.
