A specialist article for those interested in real estate.
In the minds of many people, the work of preparing a feasibility study is seen as the central focus of attention.
(By the way most people don't realize that there is a Process To Follow & lose a great deal of development TIME & MONEY due to this ignorance & that's why I wrote the only ebook in the world that teaches the process - excuse the 'commercial'.)
In fact to be more accurate we should refer to the feasibility study we do as a Development Financial Analysis.
For small developments the Study is sometimes referred to as an Accountants Return on Investment. (ROI)
This format is just the collection of all the 'cost' figures and all the 'sales'
'income' figures.
If we subtract the 'costs' from the 'income' figures and the result give us the level of profit we want, (say 25%) then the project is regarded as being financially feasible.
The expenditure on the land is always the easy part ... we know the amount and the date we settle.
It's the other costs where the estimating comes in.For developments that take a long time to complete, the Interest will be calculated on the basis of draw down from the lender.
Naturally the longer the development time period, the more significant is the interest component is, of your total costs.The development's cash flow requirements are spread out across the chart on a monthly basis and then each monthly column is totalled.
These monthly total figures are the basis of the the claim from the lender and once paid out by the lender, interest is calculated.
Naturally at the early stages of a development you need to be conservative with the interest rate and time for the development.
Rates and terms can change from the date of your first calculation, to the date of your negotiation, with the lender. And rates can change again during the development time period. So don't pear the figure down to 'tight' or you'll pay for it later.
Another style of analysis is referred to as Discounted Cash Flow. (DCF)
Take the explanation I gave you in the previous few paragraphs and remember I said that you had to use an interest rate, in order to calculate your interest component of total costs.Well, with DCF, it's the same thing, ONLY in reverse.
When I was learning this stuff, I wish the teacher told me that 'first.'
OK, the official definition of DCF is: (SHORTENED BY ME)
Discounted Cash Flow
"Present Day Cost" of Future Cash Flows
Settle Down ... this is what it means.
When do you do a DCF Analysis?
Answer ... Today!
Why?
'cause I understand what todays costs are ... like I'm here now ...
NOT IN THE FUTURE!
But how do you get todays costs, when all my development costsare spread over the next twelve ... fifteen ... +++ months, and by the TIME my development is completed I'll have paid interest.
Well, to arrive at the "Today's Costs" from "Tommorow's Expenditure" you need to discount those future costs by the interest rate you will have to pay during the Life Of The Development.So you can see that Feasibility Studies can vary in sophistication considerably.
From the one you do sitting in your car outside the site you've just inspected for the first time ...To the one you include in your Finance Application to the Lender.
Financial Analysis Work is completed all the way through the development as "assumption figures" are "firmed up" as actual - for both costs & sales.In Residential Development Made Easy I set out a template for you and then explain and define every item that comprises a full study. I also include a Cash Flow Schedule.

Calculating the value of a commercial real estate acquisition in Costa Rica can be a challenge. Sometimes the normal means of calculating ROI falls by the wayside due to the fact that many commercial real estate transactions are done with cash. Financing is difficult to come by in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica real estate often times requires a different paradigm in calculating the property's value. The desirability of the property, and it's asset appreciation of a short term, can offset the need for initial cash outlay.
