Start with move-ins, back-solved from your pro forma #
Set a monthly move-in target informed by your pro forma: break-even occupancy, expected rents/concessions, and the end of your interest-only (IO) period.
Stakeholder alignment #
- Get explicit buy-in from vendors, managers, and internal staff that move-ins are the goal.
- Document goal, reporting cadence, and decision rights.
Key dates to anchor to #
- Construction completion and CO date.
- Grand opening and promo calendar.
- IO period expiration and lender checkpoints.
