This figure counts taxes, government fees and agent commissions only. It excludes operating costs: insurance, HOA or service charge, property management, maintenance and vacancy. Those are building-level commercial terms rather than public record, so they cannot carry a primary source, and this product does not print numbers it cannot cite.
