Or is the profit 500k i.e. simply double what you have paid the developer so far?

This point has been confusing me somewhat so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
hi there

it is maths we learnt in school in 7th standard. well profit= selling price-original price.so if yr 1m property doubles yr profit is 2m-1m=1m.100% profit. but yr investment is only 500k.so when u sell yr property for 2m u get 1m plus yr original investment 500k.so return on yr investment is 200%.yr 500k is turned in to 1500k.
