So what is the actual difference between Vacancy and Credit Loss. Vacancy is the loss of potential income which is attributed to space in a building that is not leased. More simply put...this is empty space that could be making money for the landlord. Credit Loss, on the other hand, is the rent due that the landlord has not been able to collect due to a tenant's default. Again, simply put...rent that is owed that has not been paid.
This is one of the reasons that bankers will often use vacancy and credit loss in the formulas that is above a current vacancy rate. The apartment complex may have a vacancy rate of 5% for the last 3 years, but the banker may use a 10% vacancy and credit loss rate in order to cover any tenants that may be in place, but not paying the rent due.

New Federal Funds Rate-Lowered Again
The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower its target for the federal funds rate 25 basis points to 4-1/4 percent.
Incoming information suggests that economic growth is slowing, reflecting the intensification of the housing correction and some softening in business and consumer spending. Moreover, strains in financial markets have increased in recent weeks. Today's action, combined with the policy actions taken earlier, should help promote moderate growth over time.
In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 25-basis-point decrease in the discount rate to 4-3/4 percent. In taking this action, the Board approved the requests submitted by the Boards of Directors of the Federal Reserve Banks of New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, and St. Louis.

Let's Define Net Operating Income (NOI)
The Net Operating Income (NOI) of a property is very simple to figure out. It is defined as follows:
Potential Gross Income=The total amount of money a property could make
-Vacancy and Credit Loss= subtract any empty space or tenants in place that haven't paid.
-Operating Expenses= subtract actual expenses on the property i.e. Utilities, Taxes, Insurance, maintenance, employees, etc. (this does not include the mortgage or income taxes)
