      Sample Questions & Answers

      What strategy will the company use to deal with maturing debt?

      Many REITs became overleveraged during the last decade. Typically, REITs cannot grow without taking on debt since they pay out a majority of their earnings. The real estate market crash of 2008-2009 uncovered REITs with invested properties under...

       

      How does the company protect itself from the revenue fluctuations caused by economic cycles?

      The value of real estate is notoriously cyclical, varying with the strength of the regional or national economy. Vacancy rates for properties can climb rapidly, especially for office buildings and warehouses, if the economy falters. Rents can also...

        Competitive Landscape Brief

        Demand depends heavily on the health of the US economy, including corporate profits and local government budgets. The profitability of individual companies depends on accurate project bids and efficient operations. Large companies have advantages in their ability to engage in multiple projects simultaneously and in many types of construction. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing, working in a limited geography, or serving as subcontractors on larger projects. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is more than $350,000. The commercial construction industry is intensely competitive, with companies ranging from small private firms to multi-billion dollar companies. Barriers to entry are low, since large upfront capital expenditures are not necessary. Most companies work locally, but large firms work nationally and some, internationally. The largest firms can have up to 75 percent of their projects outside the US, and must therefore establish offices in countries where demand or regulations require a business presence.
