How the math works
Annual uplift = market − in-place. Gross = annual × years. Net = gross − recapture cost.
On $14k annual uplift × 5 years − $18k cost = $52k net recapture value. Recapture economically rational when net-of-cost gain exceeds the friction of new tenancy and lease-up risk. Mark-to-market leases at renewal — but recapture via assignment is the earlier opportunity.
How to Use
- Enter current lease rent.
- Enter current market rent.
- Enter remaining lease term.
- Enter recapture vacancy cost.
- Read recapture upside.
