- Enter stabilized NOI.
- Enter target YoC %.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gap?
Asking price − residual max price. Positive gap: seller needs to come down, or project won't hit return. Negative gap: buyer has room to bid up. Skilled buyers know their residual to the dollar before making offers.
Closing the gap?
Higher rents (test market). Higher density (redesign). Lower hard costs (value engineering). Lower financing cost (better debt). Lower soft costs (fast-track permitting). Each lever compounds — closing a 10% gap often requires multiple levers.
When to walk?
Gap > 15% after all reasonable optimization. Seller firm on price. Alternative sites available. Market conditions softening. Disciplined buyers walk; undisciplined overpay. Over-paying land is the #1 cause of deal disappointment.
