Know the Deal Before You Buy the Dirt.

WE Develop scores a property across eight weighted categories, surfaces the issues that kill deals, estimates what the project can actually pay for the land, and tells you plainly whether to buy, pursue, renegotiate, redesign, hold, or reject. Do not fall in love with the property before you understand the deal.
