Asset Management “Budget Season”

Been working in equity AM for ~4 years now. Every October/November is budget season where our JV partners begin providing budgets for us to review. For office and industrial assets the leasing assumptions are pretty straightforward to review and have good feedback/questions for our partners. But when it comes to “other income” line items and a lot of expense items, I feel like most rarely have good questions to ask other than “why is this line item X% higher than last year? Etc”

Curious how others go about budget reviews and have knowledgeable questions and good feedback for partners.
