1. work with extremely experienced construction team
2. take on minimal leverage
3. meaningfully save on hard costs (expensive materials) & soft costs (inhouse architecture)
4. buy sites from motivated sellers with unlevered profit on cost >30%
You cannot lose money.
Incase you’re wondering what happens during the worst downturns you will:
• have meaningful margin of safety from your initial purchase (you make your money when you BUY)
• even if prices decrease broadly, I’ll be adding additional value to your site
• safe with a minimal debt discipline by never putting your principal at risk & remaining in control of the project
• be making a substantial saving into your bottom line, either with in-house architects + designers or by keep expensive materials like marble & parquet at cost
