Budgeting that moves with occupancy

When seasoned property managers talk about budgeting, they rarely start with formulas — they start with process. In this in-depth session, Kathy Lim shares what she’s learned from more than 30 years in commercial real estate and two decades using Kardin.

Her walkthrough covers how to think about income, expenses, and recoveries so your budget actually reflects what’s happening in the building — whether you’re in Excel, Kardin, MRI, or Yardi. It’s a practical, systems-agnostic look at how to keep budgets dynamic, accurate, and easy to explain.
