Join Ladies in Land and Dudes in Development on October 15, 2026, at 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM (CT) for Part 1 of a two-part National Learning Series featuring Jeff Mayo of Sureway Advisors.
This session will break down how development projects are evaluated from an underwriting perspective and how risk, revenue, costs, and capital structure ultimately influence expected returns.
Jeff will explore how underwriting can look different depending on who is evaluating the opportunity, from institutional investors to self-funded owners, as well as the practical differences between for-rent and for-sale projects.
Attendees will gain insight into:
What underwriting is and how it is used in development
How institutional investors and self-funded owners approach underwriting differently
Key underwriting differences between for-rent and for-sale projects
How market, asset, management, and strategy risks translate into hurdle rates
Approaches to underwriting revenue and project costs
How capital structure factors into the underwriting process
Part 1 will establish the concepts that will be applied to a real-world development example during Part 2 on October 21.
