Differences in project development between professional investors and non-professional investors

In the highly competitive real estate sector, the distinction between professional and non-professional investors lies not only in experience and reputation but also in development strategies, risk management, and value creation for projects. This article will help you understand the key differences between the two types of investors and provide insights on how professional project developers can support non-professional investors in enhancing their capabilities and business efficiency.

1. What defines a professional and a non-professional investor?

A professional investor is not only financially capable but also possesses comprehensive project management skills and a strategic development mindset. Unlike non-professional investors, professional investors have successfully completed multiple commercial housing projects, earning customer trust and establishing a strong market presence. Well-known investors such as VinHomes, Nam Long, Khang Điền, and Đất Xanh not only develop products but also align closely with market demand and consumer trends.

On the other hand, a non-professional investor may be an individual or organization that has never developed a commercial housing project before. They often lack technical expertise and project management experience, leading to projects that fail to meet market needs, experience delays, and struggle to achieve desired efficiency.

2. Three key differences between professional and non-professional investors

2.1. Product development mindset

A successful real estate project is not just about completing construction; it must also meet market demands and customer expectations. Professional investors excel in this area due to their structured approach to product development.

• Professional investors have a strategic board and a market research team that helps them position and develop products with clear objectives. This ensures their projects meet current demand and increase in value over time. Their design, legal, and construction processes are well-coordinated, minimizing errors and optimizing costs. This approach ensures both high quality and profitability.
• Non-professional investors often develop projects based on personal perspectives or shareholder opinions, without conducting thorough market research. They rely on non-specialized consulting firms, leading to products that are misaligned with market needs. As a result, they frequently make costly adjustments, wasting resources and affecting project timelines.

2.2. Organizational structure and risk management

Every project carries risks, from legal and design phases to construction and sales. Effective risk management and a well-structured organization are crucial for professional investors.

• Professional investors have a comprehensive management system that includes:

  • Design management
  • Project legal team
  • Cost management
  • Project operations
  • Marketing & sales

  Their structured workflow and risk control mechanisms ensure that every project stage runs smoothly, minimizing potential risks.

• Non-professional investors lack full organizational structure and risk management expertise, leading to inefficiencies in project execution. Most of their tasks are fragmented and lack overall control, resulting in higher costs and lower project value.

2.3. Value creation and cost optimization

Professional investors focus on long-term project value, rather than short-term profits. This strategy helps them attract customers and ensure sustainable project growth.

• Professional investors enhance project value through:

  • Innovative design
  • High-quality materials
  • Strong after-sales services

  As a result, they can increase product selling prices while maintaining good profit margins and brand reputation.

• Non-professional investors prioritize cost reduction, focusing on minimizing investment costs to keep selling prices low. However, this approach compromises product quality and market appeal, leading to low project profitability and weak competitiveness.
