ARGUS - Vacancy & Credit loss vs Static Tenants - Distressed Office Product

Hey, in this office environment, what is best-practice for modeling vacancy/credit loss in ARGUS for distressed products?

For example, say a building is 50% occupied and you don't actually believe it'll lease up to 90-95% in any scenario and believe true market occupancy to be somewhere around 80%. Could I create speculative, static leases that remain empty throughout the forecast (accounting for 20% of GLA) and forecast a lease-up other units to grow overall occupancy to 80%? Afterwards have no vacancy/credit loss applied? I think this makes sense since this would not apply TIs/LCs on the 20% of space you don't truly believe will become occupied. Let me know if my reasoning is flawed here. I'm semi-new to argus so I'm trying to learn what's "best practice."
