What this tool is for
Lease deals are rarely comparable on base rent alone. This simulator helps you compare two options by projecting costs over the term using the same assumptions.
- Model rent escalations and renewal-style increases.
- Account for free rent / rent abatement in early months.
- Stress-test NNN/CAM growth (tax/insurance/operating costs).
How to get better inputs
- CAM budget: Ask for the current year budget and last year reconciliation.
- Taxes: Ask for a property tax estimate and any expected reassessments.
- Insurance: Confirm required coverages and who pays deductibles.
- Repairs: Clarify repairs vs. replacement (roof/HVAC/parking) so you don’t under-model risk.
