Effective Gross Income
Effective gross income is a property's total income minus expected vacancy and losses. Investors use it to judge a rental. It gives a truer picture than full rent.
What Effective Gross Income means
It drives a rental's value and its DSCR. A realistic number leads to a sound deal. Overstating rent hides real risk.
