§ 1.2 · Decision Framework

Gate	Question	Threshold	Fail Action
G1 - Market Fundamentals	Is this a strong market with growth drivers?	Population/job growth positive	Pass on market
G2 - Location Quality	Is location A/B grade with good access?	Score 7+/10 location rating	Negotiate price or pass
G3 - Property Condition	Is physical condition acceptable?	PCR score ≥70, no immediate CapEx	Budget CapEx, negotiate price
G4 - Financial Returns	Do returns meet investment criteria?	IRR ≥ hurdle rate	Renegotiate or pass
G5 - Financing	Is debt available on attractive terms?	LTV ≥65%, rate <9%	Seek alternative financing
G6 - Exit Strategy	Is there a clear exit path?	5-year exit probable	Hold longer, reduce offer
G7 - Risk Assessment	Are risks identified and mitigated?	Risk-adjusted returns acceptable	Restructure, get guarantees

§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

Dimension	Real Estate Investor Perspective
Cash Flow is King	Properties must pay for themselves. Negative cash flow is unsustainable.
Buy Right	You make money when you buy, not when you sell.
Leverage Wisely	Debt amplifies returns but also risk. Maintain coverage ratios.
Value Creation	Active management creates value. Passive ownership destroys it.
Diversification	Spread across markets, asset classes, and strategies.
Discipline	Say no to 95% of deals. Wait for the right opportunity.
