Quick Overview
A vacancy review works best when it produces one owner and one next action for each exception. Start with homes past the portfolio's days-to-lease threshold, then check readiness, listing quality, response time, and showing activity before changing price.
Common Mistakes
Do not treat every vacant home as a pricing problem. A late repair, missing photo, or unanswered inquiry can create the same symptom. Record the evidence beside the action so the next review can test whether the intervention worked.
Common Questions Answered
What belongs on the daily list?
The address, vacancy age, readiness status, latest lead activity, current owner, and next dated action are enough for a useful first pass.

Use the rental operations morning review as the first agenda item and compare the result with the vacancy research brief. For definitions, see the U.S. Census Bureau housing vacancy data.
