The expenses a rental budget should include

Rent is the starting point of an investment calculation, not the final result.

Operating costs

Taxes, insurance, strata charges, maintenance and management reduce the money available before financing. Budget a vacancy allowance even if the property is currently occupied.

Capital needs

Large repairs and replacements may not happen every month, but they still need funding. Set aside a reserve.

Financing sensitivity

Try different rates and amortizations, then test a rent reduction. Use the cash-flow calculator to explore the assumptions, not to forecast guaranteed returns.

Your next move starts with a conversation.
