Strategy IV Β· New Construction

Underwrite ground-up
like a developer.

Land plus hard plus soft plus carry. Build-to-Sell versus Build-to-Rent head-to-head. Yield-on-cost and developer spread, the way a real developer thinks about a deal β€” not a homeowner pricing a renovation.

Under the hood

The math behind a build.

CARRY

Simple or Milestone

Simple = 50% average balance. Milestone = your draw schedule. Use Simple for screening, Milestone for closing.

DEV SPREAD

YOC minus market cap

The cushion you've built. 200 bps survives a cap-rate move. Under 150 bps gets flagged.

EXIT

BTS or BTR β€” we pick

Sale after-tax profit vs 10-yr hold wealth at your opportunity cost. The analyzer makes the call and shows its work.

CONTINGENCY

10% baked in

Default 10% on hard costs. Stress mode bumps it to 15/20/25% so you see how much you can absorb before the deal breaks.
