Real estate development improves properties to increase the value. This involves building new or remolding existing property. Real estate development offers a lot of opportunities both for the developer and the community.
Real estate development falls into two categories: commercial and residential. Companies involved in commercial real estate development produce office buildings, industrial sites, and retail properties to be held in or sold to others.
The core commercial property types are retail, office, industrial, and multi-family. The upfront cost is much higher, as well as the repair cost, but the pay out is worth it. With commercial real estate buildings, companies can sell the entire building or a few rooms, or even rent out some of the space. Renting commercial properties gives the commercial real estate development companies what is called positive cash flow. Once the building is paid off, the rent check is all profit.
Companies specializing in residential real estate development have many opportunities to make a profit. Residential development includes single family homes, condos, and apartments. Real estate development that specialize in residential properties often focus on up-dating and location. Potential buyers are going to want a new or at least an updated home, most likely in a desirable location. If the location is a hot spot, middle to high-end homes are in great demand. A location is considered a hot spot if the city is growing, there are jobs, and the economy is doing great. For example, Panama City, Fla., is in the works of building a new airport, making it a hot spot in the United States for real estate development.
Companies involved in residential real estate development also purchase older homes and fix them up. This makes for a great profit and can be done in a short amount of time. In an older city that is going through a growth spurt, often times the home itself is not worth much, but the land it is on is worth a lot. Tearing down and rebuilding the home completely is often done. This takes longer than fixing up a home, but the potential profit is huge and it brings up the value of the other houses in the neighborhood.
Another option for companies in real estate development in residential areas is buying a house that is valued under market, meaning the homeowners are desperate to sell. The owners may have had hard times and were forced to go into foreclosure. When this happens, the house is then owned by the bank. Foreclosure properties can be purchased under market value with a lot of potential to make a profit. Companies in real estate development will look for houses owned by the bank. The place may need work, but when it is fixed up the house can be resold.
Ultimately, real estate development should yield a profit. According to Wanda Phillips, a writer for Network Magazine, job growth and commercial markets are key indicators of what the future holds for real estate development in that area. If many people living in the area are out of work, there is little money, no growth, and no turn around. However, if a company is a seasoned developer, often times when the area is at its lowest is when a company can make a huge profit. Donald Trump himself has admitted that buying when the real estate market is in a down swing is how he made a lot of his money. The success for real estate development can return to an area. This is often in the case of larger cities and suburban metropolitan areas.
Real estate development requires a lot of hands to get the job done including construction workers, accountants, attorneys, real estate agents, etc. The focus of real estate development is to rebuild and sell for profit. Just as important the developers build communities and can increase the value of neighboring homes and businesses. Real estate development companies shape neighborhoods that people can call home.
