New Fractional Real Estate Article Explaining Feasibility Studies
April 16th, 2009
I recently wrote a pretty in depth article on our Feasibility Analysis for FractionalReport.com. I cleverly called it: “The Fractional Feasibility Study - What Is It and Why Is It Important?
Here is the start…
A feasibility study is an extensive and detailed review of all aspects related to the development and financial feasibility of a fractional project. All facets of the project are weighed, analyzed and provided in an easy to understand format for developers, owners, lenders or private equity investors.
It’s pretty safe to say that the reduction of costly expenses and the realization of stronger profits is the ultimate goal of any real estate developer. So what is the number one killer of the ultimate goal? Mistakes. Based on this logic, the top priority for real estate developers should be the elimination of as many mistakes as possible.
Of course, not all mistakes are preventable. Some things just happen that no one can predict; take credit swaps and sub-prime lending for example. Those mistakes were made by others and were completely out of our control.
That being said many mistakes are of our own doing and can be prevented with up front planning, i.e. foresight. In the fractional real estate business, foresight is a bit more complex, as most land owners and developers simply are not familiar with what it takes to properly structure, market and sell a Private Residence Club (PRC). While their goals of minimizing mistakes are the same, the importance of mistake-minimizing tools is much greater.
Here I will provide a more detailed review of a crucial mistake-minimizing tool: the fractional feasibility study. I will review the logistics involved and list some of the important elements included in the study.
