Off Market Development Sourcing

Development Sourcing

Our development sourcing is a crucial step for property developers to identify potential sites and properties for new construction or redevelopment projects. It involves extensive research and analysis to determine the suitability of a location based on factors such as zoning laws, market demand, and infrastructure availability.

Research

The first step in sourcing developments for clients is to conduct extensive research to identify potential sites and properties that meet your requirements. This includes gathering data on the location, zoning laws, market demand, and infrastructure availability. We use a variety of sources to gather this information, such as government websites, real estate databases, market reports, and industry contacts.

Analysis

Once potential sites and properties have been identified, the company must evaluate their feasibility and potential profitability. This involves conducting a cost-benefit analysis to determine the financial viability of each option, assessing the risks and opportunities associated with each site, and evaluating the competitive landscape. The company may also need to consider other factors, such as environmental impact, planning permission, and community sentiment.

Proposal

The final step in sourcing developments for you is to prepare a proposal outlining the recommended sites and properties. The proposal should include a detailed analysis of each option, including project scope, timelines, budgets, and expected returns. It should also highlight the benefits and risks associated with each option and make a clear recommendation. If you decide to proceed with a development, we can provide additional services such as site acquisition, project management, and financing support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Development sourcing is a crucial step for property developers to identify potential sites and properties for new construction or redevelopment projects. It involves extensive research and analysis to determine the suitability of a location based on factors such as zoning laws, market demand, and infrastructure availability. Development sourcing is important because it can help developers find profitable opportunities, reduce risks, and save time and money.

We source developments for clients by following a three-step process: research, analysis, and proposal. We use a variety of sources to gather data on the location, zoning laws, market demand, and infrastructure availability. We then evaluate the feasibility and potential profitability of each option, assessing the risks and opportunities associated with each site, and evaluating the competitive landscape. Finally, we prepare a proposal outlining the recommended sites and properties, including project scope, timelines, budgets, and expected returns.

We evaluate the feasibility and profitability of potential sites and properties by conducting a cost-benefit analysis to determine the financial viability of each option. We compare the estimated costs of acquiring, developing, and selling the site or property with the projected revenues from selling or leasing the finished product. We also consider factors such as market demand, supply competition, location attractiveness, development potential, zoning restrictions, planning approval likelihood, environmental impact, community sentiment, and risk exposure. We use various tools and methods to conduct this analysis, such as feasibility studies, sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, discounted cash flow analysis, net present value analysis, internal rate of return analysis, breakeven analysis etc.

We prepare a proposal for recommended sites and properties by outlining the following information for each option:

    • Project scope: This includes the description of the site or property, its size, location, features etc. It also includes the proposed development plan for the site or property such as design concept sketches or drawings; number of units; type of units; size of units; amenities; parking; landscaping etc.
    • Timelines: This includes the estimated duration of each stage of the development process such as acquisition; due diligence; planning approval; design development; construction; marketing; sales etc.
    • Budgets: This includes the estimated costs of each stage of the development process such as acquisition; due diligence; planning approval; design development; construction; marketing; sales etc. It also includes the estimated revenues from selling or leasing the finished product.
    • Expected returns: This includes the estimated profit margin; return on investment; return on equity; internal rate of return etc. for each option.
    • Benefits and risks: This includes the advantages and disadvantages of each option such as market demand; supply competition; location attractiveness; development potential; zoning restrictions; planning approval likelihood; environmental impact; community sentiment; risk exposure etc.
    • Recommendation: This includes a clear statement of which option we think is best suited for your needs and why. It also includes any contingencies or conditions that may apply to our recommendation such as securing financing; obtaining planning approval; conducting further due diligence etc.

The additional services we can provide after sourcing developments for clients depend on their needs and preferences. Some of the services we can offer are:

    • Site acquisition: We can help you negotiate and secure the purchase of the site or property that you have chosen from our proposal. We can also assist you with due diligence, legal matters, financing, and settlement.
    • Project management: We can help you manage the entire development process from planning to completion. We can coordinate with other service providers such as builders, engineers, architects, consultants, and contractors. We can also monitor the progress, quality, budget, and risks of the project and report to you regularly.
    • Financing support: We can help you find and secure the best financing options for your development project. We can advise you on the different types of loans, interest rates, terms, and conditions available in the market. We can also help you prepare and submit your loan application and documentation.
    • Marketing and sales: We can help you market and sell your finished product to potential buyers or tenants. We can design and implement a marketing strategy that suits your target market and budget. We can also handle the enquiries, inspections, negotiations, contracts, and settlements of your sales or leases.

I had no real prior knowledge on how to enter the property market prior to meeting Trent, he has discussed everything in detail and makes the process seamless. I have worked with Trent closely since April 2022, he has provided me with resources and a strong education towards purchasing my first investment property. Trent works really closely with his clients and ensures everything will benefit the person purchasing without any stress. I would highly recommend having a call to understand your situation and see what could work for you.

I cannot recommend Trent and the Carters team any higher! I went from having absolutely no knowledge about realestate and investment properties to having a great level of understanding with Trent's guidance. Trent has helped through every step of the process from initial discussions to a finished build, holding my hand and putting up with a lot of calls and questions along the way! With Trent's guidance it made me realise how much more attainable property investing is and I honestly just wish I bit the bullet and did this years ago!
Carl
For a little less than a year now, Trent has been assisting me with my real estate investments. He has taught me how to invest wisely during this time to get the best return in the shortest amount of time. I was successful in purchasing my second property, a land house development, and I have already witnessed an increase in its value. We are now investigating how to get the third. Throughout this adventure, Trent has been extremely approachable and a great communicator while keeping a high degree of professionalism. I cannot recommend Trent highly enough and look forward to building and expanding my portfolio with his guidance in the future.
Bradley
In 2022, Trent assisted me to purchase my first investment property. Trent is an excellent advisor and mentor who consistently demonstrates his technical knowledge and practical wisdom in property acquisition and investment. He analyses and explains potential investment opportunities in a sophisticated, yet easy to understand manner (with a detailed financial analysis for those interested in the numbers!) and is always available for administrative support. I have grown significantly in my confidence in approaching property investment under Trent’s tutelage.
David
I reached out to Trent at Carters Investments early last year for advice and help on buying my first investment property. He’s worked closely with me ever since to help find the right interstate house for me to purchase which is now beginning construction. He’s given good consultation, advice and ideas based on his own successes with property investing. Thanks for your help mate!
Daniel
Trent was a great help in starting me on my own investment portfolio. He has been very thorough in the information he has provided. Trent has amazing contacts to help with purchasing a property. This made it even easier to get myself started. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy realestate as I already have with friends and family.
Damien
Our association with Trent has been extremely productive, he gave us a lot of sound advice and linked us up with builders able to offer us houses either in the later stages of being built or council approved plans, giving us a decent head-start with our investment strategy, houses we would never have found on our own. Trent has a strong network of contacts for building and finance and knows the industry well, minimising costs such as stamp duty and negotiating with builders on our behalf. 5 stars!
