You might be familiar with the term "vacancy" from Motel signs, which indicates whether any rooms are available. In real estate, investors look at vacancy rates to determine rental market conditions in an area of interest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your market has high vacancy rates, it's a red flag as it may indicate that the area isn't appealing to renters. Conversely, you'd want to invest in areas with low vacancy rates which indicates a larger number of renters find the neighbourhood desirable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Local amenities play a significant role in low vacancy rates. You'd find that more renters want to live in areas that offer an abundance of conveniences - grocery, retail, university, transportation; all of these contribute to the value of your rental.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Working for your money, instead of having your money work for you! You work for money so you can buy things, then work harder and longer so you can buy even more things. It's a vicious cycle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
