Risk Flags

Zoning is unconfirmed — permitted use and density must be verified with the municipality
Projected margin is below typical 18% thresholds.
Utility approach affects lot yield and cost and must be confirmed
Screen excludes carrying-cost timing, phasing, and market absorption.

How to read these numbers

A quick guide to the primary metrics modeled in our pro-forma tool. All outputs are projections based solely on your inputs.

Gross Development Value (GDV)

The estimated total revenue generated if all concept lots or homes are sold at the modeled average price. This does not account for selling costs or market fluctuations.

Total Cost & Margin

Total cost combines land, horizontal infrastructure, vertical build, soft costs, and financing. Margin is the projected profit expressed as a percentage of GDV.

Break-even & Equity

The break-even price is the minimum average sale price required to avoid a loss. Equity vs. Debt shows the estimated capital stack required to fund the project.
