Rental Loss Calculator

Is Your Rental Sitting Empty? It’s Probably Costing You More Than You Think.

A lot of new landlords wait for the “perfect tenant” who will pay top dollar. But while your unit sits vacant, money is slipping away every single day.

That’s why we built the Rental Loss Calculator. In seconds, it shows you:

  • How much rent you’ve already lost
  • How long it’ll take to earn that back (if ever)
  • Whether holding out for a higher price actually makes sense

In real estate, time is money, and vacancy is the most expensive—and most common—mistake first-time landlords make.

Many landlords try to push rent higher to cover all their expenses. You can do that, but remember: the tenants with great credit and solid income are financially savvy, and they won’t overpay beyond market rent.

And most importantly: Los Angeles is an equity market, not a cash-flow market. Cash flow might be tighter here, but long-term ROI is usually much higher than typical cash-flow states.

Vacancy kills that ROI fast.
