What is the default recovery structure in ARGUS Enterprise?

The default recovery structure in ARGUS Enterprise is based on a net recovery model. This means that expenses are recovered as a percentage of the net income generated by a property, making it a common choice for commercial real estate analysis. Using a net recovery structure is advantageous as it accounts for operating expenses before calculating the recoverable amounts, thereby providing a clearer picture of the property's profitability and cash flow.

When recovery structures are set to "net," it implies that landlords can recover operating expenses directly associated with the property, such as maintenance and management, ensuring they receive a return on their investment. This model aligns well with standard real estate practices in many markets, where the net approach is used to properly allocate expenses and understand actual tenant costs.

Alternatively, other choices present different methods of expense recovery, which may not be as widely applicable or may require additional inputs or calculations that could complicate straightforward financial analysis.
