Negative Special Value

When valuating real estate, losses of income that are caused by medium to long-term vacancies are taken into account through a negative special value. Apart from loss of rent, expenses for operating costs, marketing, and repairs can also be offset this way. To avoid vacancy, a needs-based maintenance strategy is needed to help make investments in the right place. So it’s critical to keep an eye on the portfolio and know where maintenance is worthwhile and where it`s not.
