Assumptions
- Units are taken down in equal annual groups at the pace you set, starting in the first-takedown year.
- Price escalates by the escalator compounded per year: year-n price = base × (1 + escalator)^n.
- IRR is land basis vs GROSS takedown revenue (−basis at year 0, then each year's revenue): it excludes development, financing, and selling costs, so it overstates a true project return. Use it only as a timing/scale gauge, not a return you'd underwrite.
- This is a schedule model, not a contract. Confirm dates on a real calendar and terms against the executed agreement.
How do we know?
The formula
- takedowns = ceil(total units ÷ pace), taken in equal annual groups
- price in takedown year i = base price × (1 + escalator)^i (i = 0 for the first takedown)
- revenue per takedown = that year's price × units taken; total revenue = the sum across takedowns
- IRR solves 0 = −land basis + Σ [year-t revenue ÷ (1 + IRR)^t] (Newton-Raphson, bisection fallback)

A planning estimate from your inputs, computed here (not by an AI). Prices, dates, revenue, and IRR are modeled on your assumptions with annual periods; the real deal depends on the executed term sheet and actual takedown timing. IRR is only meaningful if you enter a real land basis. Not investment advice.
