• Regulatory Changes – Government policies, tax laws, and housing regulations may impact the timing, feasibility, and profitability of real estate projects.

Project Development & Construction Risks

• Project Delays – Real estate developments are subject to zoning approvals, permitting requirements, and unexpected construction delays that may impact project timelines.

• Financing Risks – The ability to secure construction loans, mortgages, or additional funding may impact a project's financial stability.

Operational & Legal Considerations
