Introduction

This page presents tools and guidance to help you understand the financial feasibility of your development. The first section below presents a back-of-the-envelope calculator you can use. The second section provides guidance for more detailed financial modeling. See Chapter 7: Financial Feasibility for more information about what financial feasibility means for a development and the metrics different types of funders will use to determine feasibility.

This information is provided for general educational purposes to help you apply the content of this guide to development financial modeling. It should not be interpreted as guidance or specific advice from CHFA or the Colorado Division of Housing (DOH) on the financial feasibility of any particular project or filling out templates for the purposes of a funding application. No reader should act or refrain from acting on the basis of information in this document without first seeking advice from a professional; and information provided in the tool may not constitute the most up-to date information. Any questions or clarifications regarding materials for a funding application should be submitted directly to the funding organization, and readers are encouraged to contact a financial professional for assistance in conducting any financial feasibility analysis or completing any financial model for any particular project.

Back-of-the-Envelope Calculation

A back-of-the-envelope calculation is an informal or rough estimate based on easily obtained information and simple assumptions. This may be a helpful approach when you need a quick answer, and the accuracy or reliability of the estimate is not a concern. This is a common practice in the earliest phases of development when many details are not yet known.

Clicking the button below will download an excel-based back-of-the-envelope calculator created for this guide. It is intended to help you understand the basic feasibility of your development and think through sources of funding that may be needed beyond a loan. Note that because this tool does not contain an operating pro forma, it does not include estimates for returns on equity, which will be a key feasibility metric if your development will have outside equity sources.

Detailed Development Financial Model

A detailed development financial model can be an intimidating set of information to collect, input and interpret. There are many values. Terms are not always well explained. And it can be difficult to understand the significance of the model’s outputs for your development.

The Colorado Division of Housing (DOH) has provided a helpful starting point for detailed financial modeling with their Housing Development Analysis spreadsheet. This is also a useful template to become familiar with because it is a component of some DOH funding applications.

DOH has local Housing Development Specialists that can assist with completing this template and recommends contacting the one for your region early in the development process.

The information below can help you adapt your knowledge about your development into a detailed financial model such as DOH’s. Start by using the interactive orientation below to help you explore the primary components of the financial model and how they relate to one another.

When you are ready to begin your own financial model template, you will need to download a copy from DOH using the link above.

Supplementary descriptions and considerations are included in each tab below to help you as you complete it.

 
  • Development Costs
  • Operating Pro Forma
  • Permanent Financing Sources
  • Permanent Sources and Uses
  • 15-Year Operating Pro Forma

The Development Costs worksheet (which may be referred to as a development budget in other financial model templates) captures all costs required to build your project and place it in service (or have it generally ready for occupancy). This includes costs associated with all predevelopment, design, construction, financing and lease-up activities. It does not include the costs associated with operating your property once it is occupied, which are captured in the Operating Pro Forma.  

The sum of costs across each category represents your total development cost (TDC).

Not all costs will be relevant for every development. For example, if you already own the land you will be developing, acquisition costs may not be a relevant consideration. 

Note that the guidance provided here corresponds to the information in DOH's template. If you are using a different template, there may be differences in specific line-item amounts since different financial model templates categorize and aggregate these items in different ways. For example, a model developed by another organization may combine architectural and engineering fees into a single line item or may label some soft costs differently.

The Operating Pro Forma worksheet details the costs and revenues that will accrue over your project’s lifetime once it is operating (occupied). This includes both information about the specific rent amounts for each unit (or type of unit), the levels of vacancy you expect, as well as the various administrative, maintenance and utility expenses you will need pay.

This information is also used in concert with information from the Financing tab to determine your development's debt service coverage ratio.

Note that the information in this tab is specific to rental developments. If your development includes for-sale units, will need to modify the information to account for this since you will not be collecting rents or realizing expenses over time in the same way. The Colorado Division of Housing provides guidance on modifying their template to reflect this.

The Permanent Financing Sources worksheet captures the sources of funding you will use to pay for your development as well as associated details such as the type and interest rate of a loan. This includes all debt, equity, grants and other sources of funding.

These sources are then compared to the total costs reflected in the Development Costs worksheet to determine whether there is a gap between the costs of the development and the funding available to pay for those costs.

Note that this does not include construction loans or other temporary funding sources you may employ for your development. These are instead accounted for in the Development Costs worksheet.

The capitalization rate or cap rate is the ratio of the property's net operating income to the total value of the property (e.g., the expected sale price if it were to be sold). It is expressed as a percentage. Different housing and real estate markets will have different cap rates. If you have completed your market study, it should include this information. If you haven't, you can look at commercial real estate listings in the area to see if cap rates are reported or to calculate it yourself by comparing the property's income to the list or recent sales price.
The permanent loans you will have for your development.

The Permanent Sources and Uses Budget worksheet is used to summarize your project’s financing and how that compares to your TDCs. In other words, do you have sufficient funding to cover the costs of building your project?

The information in this worksheet utilizes information you have entered in other worksheets but requires additional detail on the funding sources and the specific development costs they will be used to cover.

The 15-Year Operating Pro Forma worksheet uses information you already specified from the Operating Pro Forma and Permanent Financing Sources Worksheets to provide an estimate of what your development's income, expenses, debt service and cash flow will be over a 15-year period. This can also help you estimate returns for investors and understand the financial impacts over time of owning the development for your organization.

A key consideration in this worksheet is how you expect rents and expenses to change over time. For example, if you expect expenses to increase with inflation, but rents to stay fixed, what will that mean for your cash flow over time?

Note that this worksheet is focused on rental developments, so developments that include for-sale units should use the Loan Payoff Schedule - Homeownership worksheet instead to better understand how costs and income will play out over time.
