Don’t let “80% occupancy” fool you.
If 15% of those tenants are delinquent, you’re really at ~65% economic occupancy.
And that’s before factoring in:
- Discounts
- Promotions
- Partial payments
- Bad debt
So your actual collected revenue could be even lower.
This is where a lot of deals look good on paper but underperform in reality.
When you’re underwriting, always focus on:
- What’s actually being collected
- Not just what’s “occupied”
A full facility that isn’t paying is just liability with better optics.
