Confused about CAM reconciliations, expense recoveries, gross-ups, and base years?
This comprehensive 4-hour webinar provides a practical guide to Common Area Maintenance (CAM) reconciliations for commercial real estate professionals.
Participants will learn how operating expenses are calculated, allocated, and reconciled under different lease structures, including NNN, base year, and modified gross leases. Through real-world examples and hands-on calculations, you will gain the skills needed to recover operating expenses accurately, interpret lease language, manage expense pools, apply gross ups, amortize capital expenditures, and calculate tenant billing adjustments.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain the purpose of CAM reconciliation and identify the documents needed to prepare an accurate reconciliation.
- Interpret common lease recovery structures, including NNN, base year, and modified gross leases, and recognize how each affects operating expense recovery.
- Distinguish operating expenses from non-operating or non-recoverable expenses based on lease language and expense-recovery principles.
- Build and manage expense pools, then calculate tenant prorata shares and billing adjustments.
- Apply gross-up methodologies to variable expenses and explain the impact of occupancy assumptions on recoveries.
- Account for capital expenditures and amortization when permitted by the lease.
- Evaluate base year provisions and expense caps, including how they affect year-over-year tenant obligations.
- Prepare and review sample reconciliation statements using practical examples and defensible calculations.
