The fact is that development finance opportunities during these challenging
economic times are tight. Development loans are difficult to obtain in many instances; the same holds true for
construction loans. Again, this is just the simple facts of the economy.

The fact is that in order to obtain a development finance package at a reasonable
cost, you need to have a strong credit history.

In order to obtain approval for development loans and construction loans at this point in time it is essential that applying developers or
contractors have an already established track record when it comes to development
finance or construction finance. There needs to be a demonstrated history of managing development
finance effectively and satisfying the obligation associated with development
loans.

Finally, in seeking development finance today, a developer has to be certain that he or she is able to present
a fully fleshed out business and finance plan. It is crucial that a specific
program be delineated that includes specific milestones in the satisfaction
of any development finance obligation.
