Field notes
The publication models housing as a stack of required inputs rather than treating rent as an unexplained market figure. Its illustrative 120-unit project assigns $706 per month to construction, $497 to investor return, $281 to operations, and smaller amounts to taxes, insurance, and land. A companion calculator lets readers alter requirements and financing assumptions, while the article sequence examines delays, parking, interest rates, and developer fees.
