Effective Gross Income
Gross potential rent minus vacancy loss and credit loss, plus any other income like application fees, pet fees, or laundry revenue. EGI is the realistic income number. If gross potential rent is $14,400/year but you have 7% vacancy and $200 in credit loss, EGI is $13,192. Start your expense analysis from EGI, not gross rent.
