DECISION FRAMEWORK
Start with the objective
Separate “home,” “investment,” “retirement,” “business use” and “wealth preservation.” The same property can be excellent for one objective and poor for another.
DECISION FRAMEWORK
Choose the area before the project
Daily route, employment centers, schools, airport access and lifestyle should narrow the map before marketing materials narrow the property.
DECISION FRAMEWORK
Understand the cash timeline
Map reservation, equity, turnover balance, financing and post-turnover costs before treating the advertised monthly payment as affordable.
DECISION FRAMEWORK
Compare before reserving
Open at least one credible alternative with the same budget and objective. A good decision should survive comparison.
