In these days, real estate is one of the most compelling and competitive fields where thousands of real estate developers are competing with each for the best projects and customers. Unfortunately, not many developers know the steps to be taken to achieve success.
It is important to have in mind four key factors. Knowledge
Being a successful developer, you have to thrive on risks and push to the best each and every level. Skills and expertise in marketing, supervision, finance and risk management are required. At some point in time, a developer may need to act as creator, promoter, negotiator and investor to create and market a project tenants, buyers and the public. They are the ones who supervise the entire design and construction team, work with investors and lenders and cope with the internal and external pressures associated with high risk on a daily basis.
Strong Financial Management
Manage and control your budget well as the construction stage is generally the most expensive and risky stage of the entire property development process. This is the period that a developer will normally have the greatest negative cash flow and many things can go wrong. Approach and seek out builders for quotations and find out the bestv prices for fixtures, fittings, finishing and furnishings, loan mortgage, service costs and labour costs. From these prices, build up a pro forma budget. Remember never to scrimp and save on finishing and final touches and always provide yourself a realistic fall back fund in case of shortfalls or emergencies.
A Site With Great Development Potential
There are a number of times where we see inexperienced developers rush in and purchase a site for the reason that it looks like a great opportunity and only later find themselves struggling, and severely regretting on their decision. Before making an irreversible commitment to acquire a site, we can conduct a site evaluation, preferably using a good feasibility checklist or feasibility study. A specific study to assess the market potential of the neighborhood that includes demographics, gentrification, and infrastructure is highly recommended.
Great Architect
To derive the maximum benefit out of a site, a competent and experienced architect should be engaged to avoid mistakes that may destroy the entire project. Poor structure and bad design can result in a breeding ground for crime. Good design invariably tends to boost property prices, something that will give homeowners more of a stake in their secure and beautiful surroundings.
