Five numbers every landlord should watch
Income, arrears, vacancy, repairs and collection rate.
Billed against collected
The gap between them is your arrears.
Arrears by age
Debts more than 60 days old are the hardest to recover.
Vacancy
Empty days cost rent. Track how long units sit empty.
Repair spend
Compare it to rent per property to spot a building that costs too much.
Paid on time
The share of tenants who pay by the due date shows whether your routine works.
