This is another short fire episode on what I feel is a really important topic... The project/ development appraisal, the numbers, the tool that you rely on to help tell you if a project stacks or not.

So if you are an aspiring developer, looking to invest or JV on someone else's deal or even a sourcing agent looking to present a project to package to a developer....
