Hello, this is Shuo.
Today let’s talk about bad debt and concessions.
Bad debt refers to the uncollected rent from the renters who either skip out or have to be evicted due to the nonpayment.
Concession is different, considered to be a temporary financial incentive used to induce the signing of a lease. So, the common example of concession will be: first month free moving in with the signing of a 12 month lease.
So, both concession and bad debt need to be taken into consideration when underwriting for the economic vacancy.
