        "text": "Market vacancy rates directly impact rental property cash flow by reducing potential rental income. Even if a property is usually occupied, you must account for periods when it sits empty between tenants. For calculations, it's prudent to factor in a realistic vacancy percentage, often 5-10%, based on local market conditions. In South Florida areas like Miami or Fort Lauderdale, strong tourism or seasonal demand might mean lower vacancy for certain property types, while others may experience higher turnover, making this a crucial decision factor in financial projections.",
