Once you have your Number of Unit-Months and your Number of Vacant Units, calculating vacancy rate is simple. The formula is Number of Vacant Units / Number of Unit-Months = Vacancy Rate. Using our sample data, 35 / 240 = .1458 or a 14.58% vacancy rate.
You can calculate an equivalent annual rate of return on your investment by calculating how 3.0 percent every six months translates to an annual rate. Use (1+i/n)^n - 1, where i is the bond return and n is your coupon frequency (2 for semiannual, 12 for monthly). So your 3.0 percent interest every six months translates to an annual rate of return of 1.03^2 - 1, or 6.09 percent.
