Oycora methodology
Vacancy and Collected Rent
A percentage reduction applied to scheduled rental income to estimate collected rental income.
How this is calculated
The rental vacancy rate does not reduce recurring other income in the canonical model.
Why it matters
Vacancy prevents scheduled rent from being treated as fully collected by default.
What is included
- Scheduled rental income
- Vacancy-rate assumption
What is excluded
- Recurring other income
- Physical occupancy forecasts from external data
Assumptions and limitations
- The entered rate is an assumption and does not predict actual vacancy.
