📊With any project offering, general partners must weigh a project’s market demand, development risk, construction timelines, investment horizon, exit strategy and proforma returns. From a capital engineering standpoint, the general partners must be confident of their development team’s and consultant’s ability to execute meticulous development plans and critical task timelines. Transparency and aligned interests increase the project’s chances of success. With a goal of providing development services that are fair and create positive economic value, implementing these strategies allows your organization and partners to flourish. 

As a real estate agent, I cannot give quotes or set up goals because it depends on many events beyond my control. What I do know is that with maximum attention to the needs of the clients and good communication, successful sales transactions are created and, as a sign of their satisfaction, they recommend us further, which leads to even more successful sales.

Assess the potential return on investment at various stages of the project using real-time market data and valuation models. As a valuer, I advise carrying out comprehensive feasibility studies and property appraisals to make sure that expectations are grounded in actual market conditions rather than merely speculative projections. Regular updates supported by data keep everyone on the same page and focused on the same objectives. Use performance-based milestones linked to funding releases to make sure that capital is spent effectively and in line with the project's success.

Return on Investment (ROI) To determine ROI, set clear goals, communicate transparently, and agree on metrics from the start. Example: If you invest $1,000 and earn $1,200: Net Profit = $1,200 - $1,000 = $200 ROI = (200 ÷ 1,000) × 100 = 20%

1. Transparent Communication: "Setting clear financial goals is important, but transparent communication is key. Regular meetings and open discussions help avoid misunderstandings and improve teamwork." 2. Risk Management: "Aligning ROI expectations should include shared risk analysis. Identifying risks early (like market or financial risks) helps create strong strategies to reduce them." 3. Focus on Shared Goals: "It’s important to focus on common goals, not just individual interests. This way, everyone works together to maximize the value of the joint venture." 4. Use of Technology: "New digital tools, like collaboration platforms or AI analytics, can help align goals. They give real-time data and improve decision-making."

Go with an experienced GP. One that has been through at least one down cycle preferably the Great Recession. Even if 70 percent ltv debt is available less is better. The more equity you have the better. Better to get lower returns than lose your equity. Also, floating rate can be a disaster unless you are absolutely sure of exit. Ie Fannie or Freddie if most multi and CMBS otherwise.
