AE Available Date vs Start Date
I'm confused by the meaning of the Available Date setting in the Tenant setup.

I have a lease that starts in December 2020, so I set the Start to "Specified Date" and type in 12/1/2020.

I don't touch the Available Date fields, which default to Analysis Start, which is 1/1/2020.

The cash flow report shows base rent from 1/1/2020. This is not correct, and also rather confusing... can someone explain why it's doing this and not using the Start Date?

For the MLA to be pulled in the base rent for the original occupancy, you have to set the rental rate to \"Market Rate %\".  Or if you want to include steps, then Market Rate % (including Step Amounts).  It doesn't pull the MLA between the first occupancy, the Start Date, and the Available Date except if you're doing a direct cap analysis within AE (which no one I know using AE uses, everyone is valuing the DCF)\n\n&amp;#x200B;\n\n&gt;It should be removing that same base rent in the Absorption and Turnover Vacancy line right below it.\n\nEDIT: Misread this part.  It's not Base Rent, it's the Gross Market Rent", "replies": [], "depth": 2}, {"id": "g2lep1f", "text": "Ahhh, yes this is the issue.
