Course Details

Many nonprofits have ventured into single family housing development as a key component of neighborhood revitalization, building both scattered site homes and new subdivisions. But in this post sub-prime lending meltdown era, this can be risky business.

This two-day course provides an overview of the fundamental components of successful development practices and covers feasibility analysis, understanding your market, assembling the development team, securing project financing, obtaining local approval and completing the sales transaction. Methods of reducing project cost and minimizing risk are also discussed.

In addition, a hands-on half-day tour of successful single family developments will be conducted by a local not for profit organization in the host city.

The course is designed as a primer for construction managers, or any other development staff who may not have geared up for single family development in the past, but are considering or about to embark on a single family development project in the near future.

This is the first of three courses in the single family new construction series.
