You have a site that could break either way. The broker is selling a condo angle, your lender wants steady cash flow, and the land price keeps shifting. The problem is not the concept. It is the time it takes to run two clean models on the same inputs and trust the comparison. Most teams end up with two spreadsheets built at different times with small mismatches. The discussion drifts into reconciling models instead of making a call. This task cuts that friction and forces a like for like view before you pick a plan or set a bid. Development ~25 min to run Compare Build-to-Rent vs Build-for-Sale Condo Plans Vic prompt Use Vic to compare build-to-rent versus condo plans for a development site and recommend one. Purpose Replaces six hours of manual modeling with a 25-minute run and shows the land bid supported by each plan before capital is committed. Inputs Property Type Optional Development Program Optional Land Basis Optional Rent Assumptions Optional Condo Assumptions Optional Return Hurdle Optional Market Optional Outputs An Excel file with the two plans compared on all key returns, a swing-risk table, maximum land bids versus asking price, and a written recommendation that names the decisive driver. Time saved Replaces roughly six hours of manual modeling with a 25 minute run. How it works Give Vic what you already have: program, land basis, rent and condo assumptions, your return hurdle, and the market context. If something is missing, Vic still runs with it and keeps inputs aligned across both schemes. Run it with one line: "Use Vic to compare build-to-rent versus condo plans for a development site and recommend one." The output is an Excel file with both plans side by side on the metrics that matter: profit, margin, levered IRR, equity multiple, peak equity, duration, and spread to your hurdle. Shared inputs stay shared, so differences come from the strategy, not model noise. A swing risk table lays out the crossover points where one plan beats the other. Teams often skip this because it is tedious and easy to botch. Here it is explicit. You can see how changes in rents, condo pricing, costs, or timing flip the answer, and how much room you have before that happens. You also get the maximum supportable land basis for each scheme against the asking price. This is the number that matters in a live deal. It ties the strategy to a bid you can defend with partners and capital. The file comes with a short written recommendation that names the deciding factor. Sometimes it is condo absorption and duration. Sometimes it is peak equity and financing risk on the rental side. It makes the call without hedging. A dry aside: many teams say they compare options, but they build a preferred case and sanity check the other. Running both on one spine makes that bias obvious. Use this early, before you anchor on a price or a scheme. It is quick enough for a live pursuit and solid enough for an investment committee. You walk in with one workbook, a clear land bid range for each path, and a view on what would need to change to switch your decision.
