Property Development, Sales and Property Management  Online Course

The Preliminary Buying Process

This module will discuss property development and the preliminary process. When it comes to this field there is a lot to know before signing off on that purchase. A person needs to be an informed developer who is knowledgeable of all aspects of the procedure. By following the guidelines, a person can build an impressive portfolio earlier that increases year after year. Those who have taken an interest in property development need to be confident and competent in all stages of the process. They should know how to navigate in the market no matter what the economy looks like.

What Is Property Development?

In its most basic form, property development is the practice of buying land with the intent to build on it or buying property with the intent to improve it. This improvement is done through renovation, conversion, or any other methods that increase the property’s value. Property developers can be successful in this field with the proper knowledge and skills.

Preliminary Buying Steps

Property developers are entrepreneurs that want to improve the world around them and they buy and increase land value; it impacts everyone who lives in that area. Consider the following before signing anything:

  • Purchasing power is key

  • Plan your budget

Finding Your Property

  • Identify any risk

  • Estimate profits

It is important to also allow a contingency of 10-15% for any surprises and then figure out what they want the ultimate selling price to be. It is important to be smart when it comes to purchasing land or property. These steps are crucial to becoming successful in property development.

The Selling Process

In this module it will touch the basics of selling and property development. When developing land or a building, identify what the end game is. If a person runs into something unexpected when trying to sell, it is important to have a backup plan. Take time to figure out this phase of property development before it is time to sell.  Write out a strategy that maximizes profit and gives a person room to grow. 

What You Should Know

The majority of property developers have profits in mind when they purchase land. This means that when the renovation is complete, they want to sell the property as quickly as possible and begin working with a new project soon after. A significant advantage of this is that they can make money fast and use their past experiences when working on the next purchase. 

Pricing Your Property

It’s crucial to choose a price that is attractive to the potential buyers but can also get the person a sizable profit. The right pricing determines the success and ability to purchase more land or property in the future. If they start too high, they risk scaring off buyers. This step is where a person needs to lean on the expertise of the estate agent.  

Marketing Strategies

There are many things a person can do to gain the attention of a potential buyer. For example, a person can use targeting listings to acquire names of people and businesses around the area who are looking to purchase land or property. These lists are found online for state agencies for a nominal fee. It is important to consult with an agent to see if this is something that a person can benefit from. 

Property Development Costs

In this final module, it will discuss some of the financial costs involved in property development. Understanding these costs can help a person gain an advantage when it’s time to purchase, improve, and sell properties. Not every property development transaction is the same and it needs to be determined if the project is going to be worth it at the end. 

Permits and Fees

When a person purchases land, some fees need to be paid before they can start building or renovating. These fees allow the person to obtain permits and necessary allowances to develop the land. Every region is different when it comes to charges. An inexperienced developer can easily overlook these costs.

Utilities Cost Money

Another cost to consider is looking up utilities to the site. If the person has raw land, they might need to pay for the cost to install these lines in the property. Connecting these utilities may require installing a whole system. 

Land Repair

Property developers are going to encounter land repairs with almost any project. These repairs include leveling out areas, paving, and design work. All of these works should be included in the overall cost. Drainage and drilling are often examples of overlooked construction cost. There should be enough budgeted money for all of these repairs and maintenance. 

Legal Fees

Land and property developers should also think about the legal fees that need to be paid before, during, and after renovation. While these costs are harder to pin down, they still need to come up with a working budget including expenses for fees that are known to the person and as well as that can’t be predicted. An educated guess can provide a buffer that should be needed. Consult with an expert to come up with a plan that is smart that can protect the person from any potential surprises. 

Create a Competent Legal Team

Before making a land purchase, a person needs to have a skilled and knowledgeable team to help in laying out all the costs involved. It’s easy to overlook the smallest details when the person is new to the industry but positioning oneself with experts who have been in the industry for a long time can help the person have better chances. These professionals should be trustworthy and place the person’s best interests as their top priority. 

Property development is not without costs and risks. If the person prepares themselves for both they can be successful with all of their projects. Make sure to do research before starting and surround oneself with experts who are highly trained in their field of expertise.
