Product Offering

Redstone Development will handle the entire development process, including sourcing land, securing all necessary approvals and permits, construction, and sale of the finished property.

The company focuses on building single-family homes and multi-family apartment complexes in the heart of Salt Lake City. All projects are designed to make these homes aesthetically appealing and luxurious. However, they will also be affordable to ensure that anyone in the Salt Lake City area can afford to live in our properties.

Customer Focus

Redstone Development will serve home buyers and real estate investors who live and work in Salt Lake City, Utah, or the surrounding area. Salt Lake City is a growing city in need of additional housing. More people come to this beautiful city every year, which reduces the number of available homes and apartment units. Therefore, we will target buyers who are struggling to find affordable housing.

Furthermore, there are thousands of first-time home buyers in the area. These buyers are an ideal target market for the company.

Management Team

Redstone Development will be owned and operated by Jack Grant. He recruited his former administrative assistant, Sheila Johnson, to be his Office Manager and help manage the office and operations.

Jack has over 30 years of experience developing residential properties and worked for several of our competitors. He also holds a Master’s in Real Estate Development from the University of Utah. His education, experience, and industry connections will ensure that Redstone Development becomes one of the area’s most successful real estate development businesses.

Sheila Johnson has been Jack Grant’s loyal administrative assistant for over ten years at a former property development firm. Jack relies strongly on Sheila’s diligence, attention to detail, and focus when organizing his clients, schedule, and files. Sheila has worked in the property development industry for so long that she understands all aspects required to run a successful property development company.

Jack will also employ several other full-time and part-time staff to assist with all aspects of running a real estate development business.

Success Factors

Redstone Development will be able to achieve success by offering the following competitive advantages:

  • Location: Redstone Development’s office is near the center of town, in the shopping district of the city. It is visible from the street, where many residents shop for both day-to-day and luxury items.
  • Client-oriented service: Redstone Development will have a full-time assistant with property development experience to keep in contact with clients and answer their everyday questions. Jack realizes the importance of accessibility and will further keep in touch with his clients through monthly newsletters.

  • Relationships: Having worked and lived in the community his whole life, Jack knows many local leaders, real estate agents, and other influencers in the local property development industry.

Financial Highlights

Redstone Development is seeking $1,000,000 in debt financing to launch its property development business.

Redstone Development’s History

After 30 years of working in the property development industry, Jack Grant began researching what it would take to create his own property development company. This included a thorough analysis of the costs, market, demographics, and competition. Jack has compiled enough information to develop his business plan and approach investors.

Once his market analysis was complete, Jack began surveying the local office spaces available and located an ideal location for the property development headquarters. Jack incorporated Redstone Development as a Limited Liability Corporation on October 1st, 2022.

Once the lease is finalized on the office space, renovations can be completed to make the office a welcoming environment to meet with clients.

Since incorporation, Redstone Development has achieved the following milestones:

  • Located available office space for rent that is ideal for meeting with clients
  • Identified the first property to develop
  • Developed the company’s name, logo, and website
  • Hired an interior designer for the decor and furniture layout

Industry Analysis

The real estate and property development industries have been strong over the past few years. As of 2021, the real estate industry was valued at $3.69 trillion and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.2% from now until 2030.

This growth will be driven by increasing demand for personal housing. Millennials and Gen-Z are beginning to rent their first apartments or buy their first homes. After years of living with family or roommates, they are ready to have a space to call their own. This trend is leading to a substantial demand for housing that many cities are struggling to supply.

The main challenge to the property development industry is the decrease in market size in the land development industry. Over the past five years, the industry saw an average annual decline of 0.7%. However, we believe that the pandemic was a considerable factor in this decline. Currently, the land development market is valued at $12 billion USD, and we expect it to grow substantially due to the growth of similar industries and the increasing demand for housing, as mentioned above.

Competitive Analysis

Direct and indirect competitors.

Redstone Development will face competition from other companies with similar business profiles. A description of each competitor company is below.

Upscale Property Developers, Inc.

Upscale Property Developers, Inc. is a property development company in Salt Lake City. In business for over 40 years, Upscale Property Developers, Inc. provides oversight for the entire property development process for new single-family and multi-family residences, commercial offices, and government buildings across the area. Upscale Property Developers, Inc also offers a variety of property renovation, demolition, and revitalization services for existing buildings.

Although Upscale Property Developers, Inc. provides homes with a luxury aesthetic, they are also the most expensive property developments on the market, thus resulting in many first-time home buyers being priced out of the market.

Premium Property Development Solutions

Established in 1990, Premium Property Development Solutions is a property developer of new commercial and residential properties in Salt Lake City. The company specializes in eco-friendly building materials and upscale design options for individual and corporate clients. Clients can customize their building design or choose from a variety of standard design options. The company employs experienced property developers and designers who are well-versed in green building design.

Premium Property Development Solutions is more affordable than Upscale Property Developers Inc. but is still out of most first-time home buyers’ price ranges.

Salt Lake Residential

Salt Lake Residential is also a local property development company that manages the complete property development process from sourcing and permitting to construction and sale. They are mostly known for their unique apartment complex designs but are equipped to take on a variety of different builds. The company has been in business for about ten years and has developed a reputation for building quality homes for affordable prices.

Although Salt Lake Residential has a similar value proposition of luxury homes at affordable prices, this company lacks the green building and eco-efficiency component to their business model, thus losing out on business from eco-conscious home buyers.

Competitive Advantage

The real estate development industry is a cornerstone of economic growth, characterized by its cyclical but robust nature over the long term. The industry encompasses a wide range of activities from the acquisition of land and development of facilities to the renovation and re-lease of existing buildings. Nationally, the real estate market has been experiencing a transformative phase, fueled by shifting demographics, technological advancements, and evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and smart buildings. Despite periodic slowdowns, the industry has demonstrated resilience, with steady growth rates projected to elevate market size significantly over the next decade.

In Texas, where Blueprint Builders Real Estate Development, LLC operates, the industry aligns with national trends but with distinct advantages. The state's booming economy, population growth, and favorable business climate have established Texas as a fertile ground for real estate investments. The industry's annual growth rate in Texas is poised to outpace the national average, making it an attractive market for developers and investors alike.

Our target market comprises a broad spectrum of segments, each with unique needs and growth potential. First-time homebuyers, a critical segment, are generally younger professionals or newlyweds seeking affordable, energy-efficient, and smart homes. This demographic is substantial and growing, motivated by economic stability and the desire for homeownership. Real estate investors form another essential segment, attracted by the potential for strong returns on investment, particularly in commercial real estate and multifamily housing projects. Lastly, businesses seeking commercial properties for expansion represent a lucrative market segment, driven by corporate growth and the expanding economy.

Market demands within these segments are evolving. There is a pronounced trend towards sustainable development and smart technology in homes and commercial buildings. Consumers and businesses are increasingly prioritizing energy efficiency, environmental impact, and advanced technological integration in their real estate decisions. Sustainable developments not only attract premium prices and tenants but also offer long-term savings and environmental benefits, aligning with broader societal trends towards sustainability.

Competitive analysis reveals that key players like Summit Properties Group, Horizon Developments, and CrestView Real Estate & Construction hold substantial market share, with strengths anchored in their established brand, diverse portfolio, and financial capacity. However, weaknesses exist in their slower adaptation to market demands for sustainability and innovation, areas where Blueprint Builders has positioned itself strongly. Our focus on sustainable design and innovative construction techniques differentiates us in the market, although our relative newness poses challenges in competing for market share.

Barriers to entry in the real estate development industry are significant. They include high capital requirements for land acquisition and project development, stringent regulatory and zoning laws, and the need for strong relationships with suppliers and contractors. Additionally, the cyclical nature of the real estate market can pose risks to new entrants without the financial resilience to weather downturns.

In conclusion, the real estate development industry in Texas presents substantial opportunities, driven by demographic trends, a growing economy, and evolving market demands towards sustainability and innovation. Despite intense competition and barriers to entry, Blueprint Builders Real Estate Development, LLC is uniquely poised to capitalize on these trends through our focus on sustainable, high-quality real estate projects. Our comprehensive market research and analysis underscore our strategic approach to capturing market share and driving growth in this dynamic industry.

Blueprint Builders Real Estate Development, LLC's financial projections span the next 3-5 years, outlining a clear and strategic path towards financial growth and stability. These projections are crafted with diligent research and realistic assumptions about the real estate market's evolution, our operational efficiency, and market penetration strategies. The forecasts include a sales forecast, profit and loss projections, cash flow projection, balance sheet projection, break-even analysis, and the underlying financial assumptions and considerations.

Sales Forecast: Over the next five years, we project a steady increase in sales revenue, aligning with our expansion plans and market demand for sustainable and innovative real estate developments. Year 1 is anticipated to generate $5 million in revenue as we establish our market presence. With strategic marketing and expansion, we expect year-on-year growth, targeting $7 million in Year 2, $10 million in Year 3, $13 million in Year 4, and reaching $17 million by Year 5. These forecasts are underpinned by the completion of key residential and commercial projects and the expansion into new areas showing strong market potential.

Profit and Loss Projection: The profit and loss projection reflects our commitment to achieving and maintaining operational efficiency and high profitability. In Year 1, we project a net profit margin of 15%, following the initial costs associated with launching our projects. By optimizing our operations and benefiting from economies of scale, our net profit margin is expected to increase to 18% in Year 2, 20% in Year 3, and stabilize at 22% in Years 4 and 5. These improvements will be driven by a combination of increased sales and more efficient cost management.

Cash Flow Projection: Our cash flow projections indicate positive cash flows from Year 2 onwards, following the initial investment phase. We anticipate reinvesting a significant portion of our profits back into the company to fund future projects and expansion efforts. Rigorous cash management strategies will ensure that operating expenses and investment activities are well-supported, while also building a cash reserve to hedge against potential market fluctuations.

Balance Sheet Projection: The balance sheet projections demonstrate our company's growing asset base, including real estate inventories and investments in technology and equipment, against liabilities that include financing for development projects. Equity is expected to increase annually as retained earnings grow, reflecting the company’s solid financial health and stability over time.

Break-Even Analysis: Our break-even analysis indicates that the company will reach its break-even point within the first two years of operation. This analysis considers our fixed costs, including administrative expenses and interest on financing, against the gross profit margins from our real estate sales. Achieving break-even status quickly demonstrates the viability of our business model and the efficiency of our operations.

Financial Assumptions and Considerations: These financial projections are based on several assumptions, including steady economic growth in Texas, continued demand for sustainable and innovative properties, and stable interest rates. We assume a moderate increase in construction and material costs, offset by our strategic procurement and project management practices. Considerations include potential market fluctuations due to economic factors, regulatory changes affecting real estate development, and the impact of competition. A contingency plan is in place to adjust our project pipeline and operational strategies should these factors significantly impact our projections.

In conclusion, Blueprint Builders Real Estate Development, LLC's financial projections underscore our optimistic but realistic outlook for growth, profitability, and financial health. Our strategies for market expansion, operational efficiency, and a strong focus on sustainability and innovation form the cornerstone of our financial plans, positioning us for success in the competitive real estate development industry.

Real estate development business plan: Financial Projections

Blueprint Builders Real Estate Development, LLC, acknowledges that the real estate development industry is inherently subject to various risks. Our risk analysis aims to identify potential market, operational, and financial risks, while outlining our strategies for mitigation and contingency plans along with insurance and legal considerations. This proactive approach ensures we are well-prepared to address challenges and maintain the stability and growth of our business.

Identification of Potential Risks:

1. Market Risks: Fluctuations in the real estate market can significantly impact demand for residential and commercial properties. Economic downturns, changes in consumer preferences, and increased competition are key market risks that could affect our sales and profitability. 2. Operational Risks: Challenges in project management, delays in construction, and issues with supply chain logistics can lead to increased costs and project timelines. Additionally, navigating zoning laws and obtaining necessary permits can present operational hurdles. 3. Financial Risks: Volatility in interest rates and loan terms can affect financing for both development projects and potential buyers. Fluctuating material costs and unexpected expenses also pose financial risks. 4. Legal and Regulatory Risks: Changes in real estate laws, environmental regulations, and building codes can lead to additional compliance costs or necessitate project redesign, impacting timelines and budgets.

Risk Mitigation Strategies:

1. Market Analysis and Diversification: To mitigate market risks, we conduct ongoing market analysis to stay ahead of trends and shifts in consumer preferences. By diversifying our project portfolio to include a mix of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments, we can balance market fluctuations. 2. Project Management Excellence: Employing experienced project managers and leveraging advanced project management software enables us to track progress and address issues swiftly. Strategic partnerships with reliable suppliers and contractors further mitigate operational risks by ensuring timely delivery of materials and quality workmanship. 3. Financial Planning and Monitoring: Our financial strategy includes conservative budgeting, regular financial reviews, and securing fixed-rate financing to protect against interest rate volatility. A contingency fund is maintained to manage unexpected costs without compromising project viability. 4. Legal Compliance and Advisory: Engaging with legal advisers who specialize in real estate ensures we are compliant with current laws and regulations. Regular training for our team on legal and environmental matters mitigates the risk of non-compliance.

Contingency Plans:

1. Economic Downturns: In the event of an economic downturn, we will focus on projects with higher demand during recession periods, such as affordable housing. Adjusting marketing strategies to highlight the value and affordability of our properties can also help sustain sales. 2. Construction Delays: Should unexpected delays occur, our contingency plan includes reallocating resources among projects, renegotiating timelines with clients and suppliers, and, if necessary, compensating for additional costs from our contingency fund. 3. Financial Fluctuations: To buffer against financial fluctuations, we keep a close watch on cash flows, adjust project financing as needed, and explore alternative funding sources, including private investors or government grants for sustainable projects.

Insurance and Legal Considerations:

Comprehensive insurance coverage is vital to safeguard against operational risks, including general liability, property, and workers' compensation insurance. We also explore project-specific insurance options to cover risks associated with individual developments. Legally, we ensure all contracts with clients, suppliers, and contractors are meticulously drafted to outline terms, conditions, and responsibilities, providing a legal safeguard against potential disputes.

In conclusion, by identifying potential risks and implementing robust mitigation and contingency strategies, along with ensuring comprehensive insurance and legal safeguards, Blueprint Builders Real Estate Development, LLC is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the real estate development industry, ensuring our long-term stability and success.

What is a Real Estate Development Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your real estate development business as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategies for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan for a Real Estate Development Firm

If you’re looking to start a real estate development business or grow your existing real estate development company, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your real estate development business to improve your chances of success. Your business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Real Estate Development Businesses

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for a real estate development business are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans, and angel investors. When it comes to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to ensure that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for real estate development companies.

How to write a business plan for a real estate development business.

If you want to start a real estate development business or expand your current one, you need a business plan. The guide below details the necessary information for how to write each essential component of your business plan.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your executive summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the kind of real estate development business you are running and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a real estate development business that you would like to grow, or are you operating an established real estate business that you would like to sell?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan.

  • Give a brief overview of the real estate development industry.
  • Discuss the type of real estate development business you are operating.
  • Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target market.
  • Provide a snapshot of your marketing strategy. Identify the key members of your management team.
  • Offer an overview of your financial plan.

Company Overview

In your company overview, you will detail the type of real estate development business you are operating.

For example, you might specialize in one of the following types of real estate development businesses:

  • Residential development: developing neighborhoods or communities of houses for residential living purposes.
  • Commercial development: developing commercial properties to sell or lease.
  • Subdivision development: dividing a single piece of land into smaller lots to be developed and/or sold.
  • Industrial development: readying land and facilities for manufacturing, production, and other industrial purposes.
  • Greenfield development: readying undeveloped land for agriculture or leaving as is while holding as an investment.

In addition to explaining the type of real estate development business you will operate, the company description needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to questions such as:

  • When and why did you start the business?
  • What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of properties developed, generating $X amount in revenue, reaching X number of clients, etc.
  • Your legal business Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

industry growth outlook

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the real estate development industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your marketing strategy, particularly if your analysis identifies market trends.

The third reason is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section:

  • How big is the real estate development industry (in dollars)?
  • Is the market declining or increasing?
  • Who are the key competitors in the market?
  • Who are the key suppliers in the market?
  • What trends are affecting the industry?
  • What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
  • What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential target market for your real estate development business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: individuals, schools, families, and corporations.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of real estate development business you operate. Clearly, individuals would respond to different marketing promotions than corporations, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, including a discussion of the ages, genders, locations, and income levels of the potential customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can recognize and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other real estate development businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t directly competing with your product or service. This includes other types of properties for sale, leasing another facility versus purchasing one from you or hiring an in-house development team.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their business and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as

  • What types of customers do they serve?
  • What type of real estate development business are they?
  • What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
  • What are they good at?
  • What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

  • Will you make it easier for clients to engage with your business?
  • Will you offer products or services that your competition doesn’t?
  • Will you provide better customer service?
  • Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.  

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a real estate development business, your marketing strategy should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of real estate development company that you documented in your company overview. Then, detail the specific products or services you will be offering. For example, will you provide renovation services, sell newly developed land, or finance real estate deals?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your plan, you are presenting the products and/or services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the site of your real estate development company. Document where your company is situated and mention how the site will impact your success. For example, is your real estate development business located in a busy retail district, a business district, a standalone office, or purely online? Discuss how your site might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your real estate development marketing plan is where you will document how you will drive potential customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

  • Advertise in local papers, radio stations and/or magazines
  • Reach out to websites
  • Distribute flyers
  • Engage in email marketing
  • Advertise on social media platforms
  • Improve the SEO (search engine optimization) on your website for targeted keywords

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your real estate development business, including answering calls, planning and managing projects, billing clients and collecting payments, and scheduling meetings with prospective and current clients.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to sell your X number of properties, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your real estate development business to a new city.  

Management Team

To demonstrate your real estate development business’ potential to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally, you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing real estate development businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your management team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act as mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing a real estate development business or successfully running their own real estate company.  

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.

Income Statement

An income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenue and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you charge a development fee of 5%? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets

Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your real estate development business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a lender writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement

business costs

When creating your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a real estate development business:

  • Cost of office equipment and supplies
  • Payroll or salaries paid to staff
  • Business insurance
  • Other start-up expenses (if you’re a new business) like legal expenses, permits, computer software, and equipment

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your office location lease or a list of previous real estate developments you’ve been involved in.  

Writing a business plan for your real estate development business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will understand the real estate development industry, your competition, and your customers. You will develop a marketing strategy and will understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful real estate development business.

A Sample Property Development Business Plan Template

Are you about starting a real estate development company? If YES, here is a complete sample property development business plan template you can use for FREE. Okay, so we have considered all the requirements for starting a property development business.

We also took it further by analyzing and drafting a sample property marketing plan template backed up by actionable guerrilla marketing ideas for property development businesses. So let’s proceed to the business planning section.

Why Start a Property Development?

It is therefore no doubt that housing is one very essential ingredient to life. The moment one is able to find a place of abode, there comes a form of huge relief. It is for that reason that the need for the government of different parts of the world to provide basic shelter for its citizens cannot be over flogged.

Every day there are an avalanche of people who dive into the property development business because they know how lucrative this trade is and how money spinning it becomes when one is able to get a hang of it. This is why those who have scaled through the teething stage of the business know that adequate planning is one of the hurdles that just must be scaled so as to get things right.

1. Industry Overview

The property development industry falls into the real estate category and it is indeed a very large industry that has the potential to make entrepreneurs millionaire within a short period of time. Property development industry is a many-sided business that covers all aspect of activities, ranging from acquiring raw lands, to selling or renting or leasing of fully finished and furnished properties.

In essence, developers are responsible for turning ideas into real properties; i.e. they acquire lands, they finance real estate deals, they engage in building projects and they sell, rent, lease and even manage properties on behalf of their clients.

Beyond every reasonable doubt, one of the most profitable, creative and interesting aspect of the real estate industry is property development. As a matter of fact, developers are major players when it comes to determining the prices of properties. Although this type of business venture can be risky, but in order to make it big in the trade as a property developer, you have got to just take calculated risks.

Just like all other investment vehicles, there are potential down sides that you need to look out for as a property developer. One of the major risks in property development is a sudden down turn in the economy. Property development could take a period of two to three years from conception to completion, depending on the size of the project and the cash flow.

As a matter of fact, some projects could even take much longer than that. Because of the time frame involved in developing properties from start to finish, loads of unanticipated things could crop up and it falls in the thick of property cum economy downturn which is not good for the business considering the investment that has gone into the project.

Another factor that is of major concerns and a threat to property development business generally could be cost increase as a result of inflation, currency devaluation as well as economic challenges.

Unforeseen delays from the part of government agencies, litigation and also delays from contractors could lead to substantial cost increase especially if the project is heavily dependent on bank loans. If perhaps during this period there is a change in the supply and demand dynamics of the property sector, the project could as well be affected negatively.

As a property developer, it is very important to be creative, to be able to use your ideas to meet the rapidly changing needs of the society when it comes to properties; you should be able to convert a slum into a beautiful city, if indeed you want to become a major player in the real estate industry.

Over and above, the property development sector is known to be a major contributor in the economy of many nations of the world and the industry is notable for producing some of the richest men in the world.

6. SWOT Analysis

In as much as property development business is a very lucrative business, there are loads of investors and entrepreneurs who are interested in owning a business portfolio in the industry, so as such the competition for available business deals will be much.

This is why we invested time and resources to prepare a killer property development marketing plan. Prior to setting up Solorio’s® Property Development Company we employed the services of tested and trusted business and HR consultants to help us conduct critical SWOT analysis for us.

We did this so as to know how to maximize our strength and opportunities and also to look for ways to properly manage our weakness and the threat that we may likely face in the property development industry as a newbie. Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on behalf of Solorio’s® Property Development Company;

Solorio’s® Property Development Company prides itself in the fact that the management team are core professionals and experts in their own chosen fields and they are some of the best in New York City. Despite the fact that we a new property development company, we can confidently say that we have a strong financial strength to handle most of the deals that we will have to handle.

Our weakness could not be farfetched; we are a new property development company, and there is the possibility of clients to think twice before awarding us contracts. Most people would prefer to deal with companies that have been in existence for a long period of time , as against dealing with a new company that they are not sure will deliver as planned.

  • Opportunities:

Our business concepts and our mission and vision put us at an advantage in the industry. We are set to not only work with big money bags but also to work with smaller clients whose wish is just to have a roof over their head. Furthermore, we are certain that the location of our business is going to bring multiple business opportunities to us.

Some of the threats that we are likely going to face as a property development company are unfavorable government policies, global economic downturn and other big money bags that are major players in the property development industry. There is hardly anything we could do as it concerns this threats, other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

  • Market Trends

It is no longer news that property development involves various stakeholders with various contributions and responsibilities. In property development you have a synergy involving the property owner, the financier, the property developer and a team of technical experts. The property owner may be an individual or a group and could also be a corporate body.

Before now, the interest of most owners is to sell the property to any willing buyer and move on with their life. However, because of the profitability of the business, there are land owners now who are willing to use their property as a leverage to have an equity stake in the project.

This is a win-win for all the parties since the developer too will use the extra cash savings to accelerate the completion of the project and also to handle other projects. It is obvious that loads of investors are now very much interested in property development business, because it is one of the quickest means of becoming a millionaire and as a matter of fact, it is rare to see a multi – millionaire who does not have a business portfolio in the real estate industry.

10. Sales Forecast

Prior to launching Solorio’s® Property Development Company we have serious interest in the industry and we have been able to secure some properties that is still under construction. We are optimistic that the projects / properties will be completed within the next two months and we have concluded plans to put the property for lease.

They are office complexes and it is interesting to know that people are already queuing up to rent / lease the available spaces. We are quite optimistic that we will meet out set target of generating enough income / profits from the first month or operations.

We have critically studied the property market and we have examined our chances in the industry and we have been able to come up with the following sales forecast. The sales projection is based on information gathered on the field and some assumptions;

  • Build/develop at least 2 office complex (3 story building each) within the first 12 months of operation
  • Manage a minimum of 5 properties for clients within the first 6 months of operations
  • Sell a minimum of 20 hectares of land within the first 12 months of operation

A new regulation is being mandated to operators or property managers almost every day. Also, liability is growing quickly for investors operating their rental portfolios . Although the industry is recovering from the setback, it depends on the investor strategy on how to address the situation.

Moreover, a major challenge real estate investors encounter is market volatility. However, a lot of opportunities are lying ahead for real estate investors.

The US is undoubtedly becoming a renter’s nation, and this trend will continue in 2022 & beyond.

Thus, the rental property market is in high demand. Prices for single-family homes are up , henceforth, multifamily housing demand will decline, and rental markets will surge.

Consequently, the trend for multi-family homes has been seen since the onset of the pandemic. And is expected to be continued in full force in the coming 12-18 months. Likewise, sublease space will keep increasing, tenant concessions will keep rising, and rates will continue to weaken and decline.

Consequently, rising rents for residential property fosters the demand for customers to buy starter homes . Which has to be exhibited in the business plan, which looks more reasonable to the would-be buyers than renting.

Consequently, the document should exhibit the historical and forecasted data for assumptions like net revenue, operating expenses, balance sheet elements, inflation rate, corporate tax, insurance charges, depreciation on computer/electrical devices, and fixed assets.

Likewise, as the industry expects solid financial results from previous years, one can show the revenue model for the real estate industry.
