Pro Forma 101
A pro forma analysis is a set of assumptions and calculations that projects the financial return that a proposed real estate development is likely to create.
It begins by describing the proposed project in quantifiable terms. Moving through the spreadsheet, the user estimates revenues that are likely to be obtained, the costs that will have to be incurred, and the net financial return that the developer expects to achieve on their given project.
The pro forma assists in better project understanding by storing and displaying all project financial information in one place providing the user with an appreciation for the push and pull of costs and income, time and risk, and how changing one factor can affect a whole domino chain of other factors.
