My rental cash flow looks fine on paper, but income keeps leaking
Rent comes in, yet my actual take-home keeps shrinking from vacancies, small repairs, and random fees. I’m not sure if I’m pricing wrong, approving too much maintenance, or missing renewal timing. I want a manager who treats income like a system, not an afterthought. What metrics or reports helped you improve real cash flow?

Sometimes the “leaks” are preventable: late fee policies that aren’t enforced, maintenance without clear caps, or slow turn timelines. A good manager should track days vacant, renewal rate, and maintenance cost per unit over time.
