Video Overview:

This financial model was designed for land developers who buy, develop, and sell new housing projects. One key feature is the ability to individually define costs, timing, and sales for up to 500 lots, though it can be expanded if needed. The current version contains dummy data for 20-40 lots based on the client’s specific requirements. The model includes a monthly and annual cash flow pro forma and an IRR hurdle waterfall to support joint venture analysis.

Each lot has dynamic inputs for start and sale months, sale price, land cost, and construction costs, providing better cash flow visibility. Total fees and interest are automatically allocated across the lots, and the model calculates profit per lot, with options for builder profit sharing if applicable. A ‘bank balance’ feature highlights how changes in assumptions affect required investment.

General assumptions include up to 60 months of activity, an option for interest-only loans with manual draw and repayment, selling costs, and various fees. For joint ventures, the model incorporates GP fees for construction, disposition, and asset management. The waterfall tab includes IRR hurdle configurations, while the summary provides total costs, proceeds, and profit. Return metrics include both levered and unlevered IRR and equity multiples, with options for distributing bank balances to investors in joint ventures.
