How the math works

Conversion gain = new − current. Additional leases = tours × gain. Uplift = leases × 12 × rent / 12.

85 × 8% = 6.8 additional leases/mo. × $2,000 avg monthly = $13.6k × 12 = $163k uplift. $125k / $163k × 12 = 9 months payback.

How often should I rerun this?

Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
