Cheat sheet on development timelines (assuming a ~$60M multifamily residential project):
How long to select a contractor?
8-12 weeks
How long to negotiate a construction agreement?
12-16 weeks
New 12-unit building was just built in my market. Only getting $1,800 in rent
$1,800 * 12 months * 12 units * 95% occupancy * 65% NOI margin = $160k stabilized NOI
$160k / 7% market cap rate = $2.3MM
Cost developer $250k/unit ($3MM) to build
Guy lost $700k the day he built it
1. Finding your true self is an act of love. Expressing it is an act of rebellion.
2. A sign of growth is having more tolerance for discomfort. But it’s also having less tolerance for bullshit.
3. Who you are is not your fault, but it is your responsibility.
The day you grow up is the day you fine success. Instead everyone just knows how to consume, nobody is ready to be interested in building until it’s time for payroll then everyone wants to be apart of something. - unknown
