Set Up Your Analysis Assumptions

Analysis date, projection years, land value, vacancy — the Assumptions tab is where your pro forma's credibility is decided.

1. Open your MarketEdge analysis and go to the Assumptions tab.
2. Set the Analysis Date — the anchor for every projection period that follows.
3. Choose your Projection Years (holding period) to match the investment story you're telling.
4. Enter the Value of Land — it matters for depreciation and after-tax analysis.
5. Set General Vacancy at a defensible market rate; this haircuts your gross income.
6. Review Global Values for settings applied across the analysis, and save your work.
