What does this mean?

A break-even below 60% means this property can weather significant vacancy and still cover all costs. That's an extremely resilient deal with a wide margin of safety.

What Is Break-Even Occupancy?

Break-even occupancy is the minimum percentage of a property that must be occupied for rental income to cover all operating expenses and debt service. It's a critical risk metric — the lower the break-even, the more resilient your investment.

Break-Even Occupancy = (Operating Expenses + Debt Service) / Gross Potential Income x 100

Target benchmarks: Most lenders want to see break-even occupancy below 85%. Best-in-class stabilized properties often achieve 65-75%. Above 90% is a red flag in underwriting.
