Where my specific situation gets a little more confusing is that I have multi family units where there is a mix of longterm tenants and short term so I wasn’t sure if there is a tipping point where everything becomes schedule C vs.

Class B/C value add occupancy held steady while Class A fell off a cliff.3) In Dallas, we have data on avg occupancy dropping to 85% at the worst point in 2009 (REIS data) in some key submarkets where we are buying today, our sensitivity analysis is built to show investors that rent can drop 10% from projections and fall to 75% occupancy and breakeven.

Any tips on how you went about picking your GC?
