More and more, planners are being asked to consider economic issues such as development feasibility, fiscal impact, and economic development potential. Having a firm grasp of real estate finance is critical to successfully determine how a development proposal affects the long-term revenue stream and economic development goals for a community. This session will provide valuable hands-on experience in understanding financial feasibility for a range of real estate developments from the developer’s perspective.
