Want to sky-rocket your property development career? Hilary Saxton is here to add value to your property journey, whether it be through high-quality education, guidance, and accountability. Stay tuned for weekly episodes!
Most people think the best property developers are the ones making the biggest profits. They're not. In episode 265, Bob and Hilary explain the difference between making a profit and building wealth, why so many developers make good money but never get ahead, and the habits, from recycling equity to holding stock at raw cost, that turn a one-off profit into long-term wealth. Plus the 10-year plan every developer should write tonight.

AI is quickly becoming the new electricity, and the property developers who learn to use it are pulling ahead of the ones who do not.
In episode 264, Hilary sits down with our business partner and resident AI expert, Aaron Ralph, to unpack how developers can use AI to build a real competitive advantage.
Aaron's tip sets the tone: do not be scared of AI. It is not coming for your job, but learning to use it will keep you ahead. From there they cover why AI is for everyone (not just the tech savvy), where it helps a developer most (research, feasibilities and planning, and cutting through the mountain of information every project demands), and how to actually get started, because the real barrier is not the technology, it is knowing what to ask.
Aaron shares the simplest way in: stop and ask yourself 'can I get AI to do this for me?', then work backwards from what you are trying to achieve. Learn a little basic prompting and you will be surprised how far you can take it. And the team practice what they preach, each working alongside their own AI Agent every day.
A good reminder to finish on: AI can shortcut the research and the busywork, but the mindset and the human decisions are still yours. Have a listen.
Plus Aaron's tip of the week: do not be scared of AI, learn to use it to make your life easier.
General education only, not financial, legal or tax advice.

In this episode, Bob and Hilary unpack the million-dollar decisions every developer makes, and how to get them right. Not multi-million-dollar projects, but the aggregation of marginal gains: the compiled decisions that quietly determine whether you succeed.
They walk through buying the wrong site (and why fast is not the same as rushed), buying too early, paying too much, choosing the wrong builder, why the cheapest quote is rarely the best, the wrong joint venture partner, picking your selling agent, and locking in your exit strategy at the beginning instead of the end. Plus the two decisions that bookend it all: knowing when to walk away, and backing yourself to begin.
Bob shares some hard-won lessons along the way, including the 90-day sales agent he could not get rid of, and the rookie subdivision he built his way out of.
It comes down to one thing: you just have to know what you need to know.
Have a listen.
Plus Bob's tip of the week: do not get too cocky picking your State of Origin winners, haha!

Escalation clauses can look like a simple way to keep a builder happy or manage uncertainty. Get one wrong and it can quietly eat your development profit.
In episode 262, Bob and Hilary break down escalation clauses from a developer's point of view: what they actually are, where you will bump into them (usually the building contract), and why builders push for them when material and labour prices feel unpredictable.
Bob shares how he has used escalation on large, staged land purchases, why they rarely suit smaller old-house-on-land projects, and how you can isolate an escalation to specific items like steel and concrete instead of the whole contract.
You will also hear why lenders and valuers love a lump sum fixed price and time contract, and the one feasibility mistake that catches people out: escalating your costs but forgetting to escalate your sale prices. As Bob puts it, a 5% lift on your build is only 5% of 40%, but 5% on your sale price is 5% of 100%.
Plus Bob's tip of the week on procrastination, and why sitting on the fence is the most painful decision of all.
Take the fear out of the fine print. Have a listen, and enjoy.

Most developers think that once the loan is approved, the finance side is done. Bob Andersen and Hilary Saxton explain why that is not always true. Toward the end of a project things can shift: the build runs longer, interest eats into the cap, a variation creeps in beyond your contingency, or sales take longer to settle. Sometimes you need a top up.
In this episode Bob and Hilary break down why end of project funding happens, why it is more normal than people think and rarely fatal, and how to structure a top up through a loan partner. They open the books on their own North Harbour industrial project, where they were $120,000 dollars short near completion, and cover second mortgages, deeds of priority, residual stock loans, and why an industrial development can be a smart home for self managed super.

After 30 years as a chef, from Michelin kitchens in London to award winning restaurants in Sydney, Ollie Carruthers decided he wanted his time back. In this episode Hilary sits down with Ollie to trace his journey from head chef to full time property developer through the Property Mastermind Mentoring Program.
Ollie shares the buyers agency proposal that made him think everyone was making money on the project except him, how his first workshop turned a one off project into a whole new career, the three developments he now has underway, and the mindset that carried him through. It is a genuinely inspiring story about backing yourself, building a supportive community around you, and taking the first step before you feel ready.

This week Bob and Hilary step back and ask the big questions: what do the new developers who actually succeed do differently from the ones who stall?
It comes down to six habits.
1. They get properly educated, so it is never a gamble.
They ask better questions and spot the pearl inside the oyster, and the way Bob once read a planning change to turn a four townhouse site into six.
They stop waiting to be ready, because the ducks only line up after you start.
They lean on their support and use it fully.
They treat the first project as a learning vehicle, not something to wing.
And they build confidence through action, not before it.
Structure, support and action. That is the whole episode in three words.

In this episode Hilary sits down with Property Mastermind mentoring student Tom Evans, founder of Alva Property Group, to unpack the development that changed everything for him.
Tom found a six-acre site about an hour from Newcastle that most people would have walked straight past. Spotting a 10% lot-size relaxation buried in the council's planning rules, he turned a one-into-two subdivision into a one-into-three, renovated the tired existing house (the render alone added around $125,000 in value), and sold the lots far faster than anyone expected.
The result: a project forecast at a 34% return that finished at 41%, and a profit of $612,000, all while holding down a full-time job!
Along the way Tom and Hilary cover the finance that made it possible, the 17 objections from neighbours, the council "sign saga", and why the mentoring made the difference.
As Bob would say: you never go broke making money.

What happens when you put property developers through a 5-day audit of the foundations? You find the gaps they've been working around for years.
Bob and Hilary recently ran a 5-day Property Development Challenge inside the PM Facebook group, and this episode is the takeaways recap. Across the five days we covered your why, the skills you already have, your risk profile, your financial situation, and the world of brokers, capital and joint venture partners.
Bob's finance thumb rule - the one that tells you how much equity you actually need to get started, and where that equity can come from was the standout moment. It's the kind of clarity most people don't get until they're well into their first deal.
Whether you're sitting on the sidelines wondering if property development is for you, or you've already started and want to pressure-test your approach, this is a fast hour with the foundations in plain English. The challenge is still available to work through inside the Facebook group if you want the full version.

There is an old saying in property development that you should always budget for the unexpected, but what happens when the professionals you trust completely miss the mark? Insurance is often treated as a background checkbox in a feasibility study, but getting it wrong can completely destroy a project before construction even begins.
In Episode 256 of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson explore the critical world of property development insurance and reveal how bad situations can sometimes turn into incredible advantages. Bob maps out the four distinct insurance lifecycles of a project, highlighting the dangerous uninsured gap that catches out inexperienced developers between practical completion and purchaser settlement. They also share a raw, behind-the-scenes case study of a recent insurance blunder on their own commercial childcare renovation project. From a trusted broker securing the wrong policy to vagrants flooding the building, you will hear how this disaster unexpectedly saved their project from a future toxic mold shutdown. This episode delivers an essential masterclass in risk management, legal realities, and the unique cash flow math of commercial flipping.

When you are mapping out a property development, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement of architectural designs, town planning approvals, and construction milestones. However, there is a silent profit-killer lurking in the background that can completely destroy your feasibility study if you get it wrong: Goods and Services Tax (GST).
In this highly technical yet absolutely critical episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary and Bob unpack the costly GST mistakes that can instantly nuke a developer's profit. Bob shares a staggering example of a $500,000 mistake on a $5 million site purchase and explains why relying on a standard accountant instead of a specialized property accountant can ruin your venture. From a clear, plain-English breakdown of how the GST margin scheme saves you six figures to navigating commercial "going concerns", this episode provides the essential tax frameworks every Australian developer needs to protect their bottom line.

What if the next highly profitable property development site isn’t in a new suburb across town, but right on the very street you live on? Many everyday property owners are sitting on hidden goldmines without even realising it. These are known as "sleeper sites"—small, local opportunities that require a bit of creative thinking to fully unlock.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson teach you how to spot these hidden development nuggets right under your nose. They break down the core checklist for assessing a small site—size, zoning, and frontage—and reveal clever engineering hacks, such as cantilevering buildings over driveways or shifting old houses on stumps to create backyard access. Bob also shares his massive success with corner blocks, details the hidden costs of small subdivisions, and explains why combining a land split with a house build can completely transform your project's feasibility

Are you waiting for the world to settle down before you finally start your property development journey? If you are constantly waiting for the "perfect time" to begin, you could be waiting forever.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson expose the real reasons why aspiring developers sit on the sidelines. They break down five critical roadblocks: why the perfect time never arrives, how fear-mongering media headlines hijack your decision-making, and why every single era comes with its own set of ready-made excuses. Hilary and Bob also introduce the powerful "Rocking Chair Test" to help you avoid a future filled with regret, and explain why education can give you confidence, but only action can guarantee results. If you have been looking for a sign to stop procrastinating and start developing, this episode is exactly what you need.

Do you ever wonder if those massive property development profits are actually real? For beginners, it is easy to look at the numbers and assume they are either exaggerated or completely out of reach for everyday people.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary and Bob provide the ultimate proof that beginners need to see. They break down a real-life case study from one of their mentoring students, Tom Evans, who recently presented his first project at their Gold Coast workshop. Starting with a 350-square-metre block in Margate purchased for $375,000, Tom built three townhouses that resulted in a staggering $607,000 profit. Bob and Hilary unpack the exact feasibility numbers, discuss why a 52.6% return on cost is absolutely phenomenal, and explain how Tom acted as the "CEO" of his project to coordinate a highly successful build. If you have been sitting on the fence, this episode is the reality check you need to get started.

When you are starting in property development, it is easy to look at massive apartment blocks and multi-stage subdivisions and think that "bigger is always better." But what if small, fast projects are actually the secret to a safer and more profitable portfolio?
In this rapid-fire episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson unpack exactly when and why small developments beat big ones. They discuss the undeniable advantages of smaller projects, including lower capital requirements, reduced risk, and the ability to leverage fast-track council approvals. Bob shares an incredible story of a mentoring couple who flipped a small site with a development permit for a $600,000 profit without even picking up a hammer. From understanding the true meaning of "highest and best use" to avoiding the trap of squeezing too many townhouses onto a tiny block, this episode is packed with rapid-fire wisdom for developers at every level.

Episode Highlights
01:45 - The $600k Flip: Bob shares the ultimate small development success story—a couple who secured an option on a property, obtained a development permit, and flipped the site for a massive $600,000 profit without ever starting construction.
03:23 - The Capital Trap: Why going "bigger too early" is a dangerous game. Bob explains why putting your very last cent into a deal leaves you vulnerable when inevitable construction blowouts occur.
04:06 - The Need for Speed: How smaller developments leverage fast-track approval systems (like CDCs in NSW or RiskSmart in QLD) to complete projects in 16 months instead of 24, massively improving your return on investment.
05:41 - The Beginner's Baseline: Why a novice developer learns exactly the same lessons building three townhouses as they do building nine, but with a fraction of the financial risk.
07:20 - Highest vs. Best Use: Why the "highest" use of a site (maximum density) is rarely the "best" or most profitable use if it doesn't align with local market demand.
09:48 - The Overcrowding Mistake: The danger of squeezing five poorly-designed townhouses onto a site meant for four. Buyers will punish poky floor plans and tiny living spaces, making the four-townhouse option far more profitable.
16:43 - Old-School Wisdom: Bob shares a piece of advice from an old Italian builder: "You never go broke making a profit." If a simple, highly profitable deal is staring you in the face, take it.
19:27 - Scaling Up: Why an experienced developer would rather build one 12-pack of townhouses instead of three 4-packs simultaneously. It comes down to the massive savings in project management time and economies of scale.

What is the difference between doing a property development and actually being a property developer? The answer is a pipeline. A pipeline is a continuous flow of projects that ensures a continuous flow of income, yet the vast majority of developers never manage to build one.
In this milestone 250th episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson celebrate five years of podcasting by tackling the biggest roadblock to scaling a development business. They unpack the psychological and financial traps that cause developers to stall, from the dangerous habit of waiting for one project to finish before starting the next, to simply running out of their own cash. Bob explains why leveraging investors is the ultimate key to continuous growth, why "Shiny Object Syndrome" destroys momentum, and how to treat your development journey as a highly profitable business rather than a part-time hobby.

Episode Highlights01:07 - A Podcast Milestone: Hilary and Bob celebrate reaching episode 250, marking almost five years of the Property Mastermind Podcast!
02:40 - Bob's Tip of the Week: "Don't celebrate too early." Why getting finance approval or a signed contract isn't the finish line—wait until the money is actually in your bank account.
06:05 - Defining the Pipeline: What a property development pipeline actually is (having projects in overlapping phases: planning, construction, and settlement) and why it is essential for continuous income.
12:31 - The "One at a Time" Trap: Why waiting to get your first project "out of the ground" or completely finished before looking for your next site will leave you with a 12-to-24-month income gap.
16:32 - The Capital Ceiling: How relying solely on your own cash limits your pipeline. Bob explains why shifting to using investors and joint venture partners is mandatory for scaling.
23:17 - The Comfort Zone: How a massive payday from a successful project can actually ruin your pipeline by making you too comfortable and lazy to start the next one.
28:16 - Shiny Object Syndrome: The danger of abandoning your successful, proven strategy (e.g., townhouses in a specific patch) to chase a new, distracting trend (e.g., commercial builds or rooming houses) in an area you don't understand.
36:18 - Business vs Hobby: Why building a pipeline requires you to treat property development as a serious business with systems and a team, rather than a side hustle you do in your spare time.
43:26 - Masterclass Announcement: Hilary shares details about their upcoming online property development masterclass on the 28th of April.

In property development, you do not want to be the most creative person on the market. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, success often comes down to observing patterns and replicating exactly what is already working in your specific patch.In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson discuss the massive financial benefits of replicating successful development formulas. They explain why being a "pioneer" is a dangerous strategy, sharing a cautionary tale of a developer who built apartments in Beenleigh when the market only wanted houses and townhouses. Bob also shares his own success story of replicating the exact colour palette and fixtures of a sold-out Melbourne project to guarantee his apartments would appeal to buyers. Whether you are deciding on ceiling heights, pool placement, or the size of a roller door, this episode will teach you how to give the market exactly what it wants.

02:02 - Bob's Tip of the Week: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". Bob shares how mentoring students Andrew and Jess bounced back from missing out on a deal to successfully securing another great site shortly after.
05:35 - Pick Your Patch: Why you shouldn't try to take on a whole city, but instead focus on becoming the local expert in a specific area.
08:35 - The Danger of Being a Pioneer: Why you should never be the first person to try something new in an area. Bob shares the story of a developer who built apartments in Beenleigh when the market demand was strictly for houses and townhouses, resulting in a costly failure.
11:52 - Micro-Level Market Research: How even tiny details matter, such as placing a pool on the north side versus the south side of a street, which can result in a $50,000 difference in sale price.
14:13 - The Eccentricity Trap: Why building a design that appeals to your personal, eccentric tastes instead of the broader market will leave your property languishing unsold.
15:30 - The Melbourne Apartment Strategy: Bob reveals how he guaranteed the success of an apartment project by asking local marketing agents for the exact colour palettes and fixtures of their most successful recent project, and then copying them entirely.
30:49 - Listening to the Market: Hilary and Bob discuss their current industrial project ("Elevate") and how meeting with three commercial real estate companies beforehand led them to include high-demand features like larger mezzanines, higher roller doors, and a massive power transformer

Finding a profitable property development site often means looking where your competitors aren't. In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson reveal how developers uncover lucrative off-market deals.
They explain the difference between on-market and off-market properties , and why dealing directly with a seller provides the ultimate advantage: less competition and more time to negotiate. Bob shares his expert strategies for sourcing these hidden gems, from building genuine relationships with real estate agents to identifying the right buyer's agents who actually understand zoning and feasibilities. You will also hear about direct-to-vendor tactics like letterbox drops—including a wild story of a coffee-stained letter that secured a deal five years after it was sent!

03:40 - On-Market vs. Off-Market: The true definition of an off-market property and the many reasons vendors choose to keep their sales private, from avoiding open homes to family illness.
07:42 - The Off-Market Advantage: Why the lack of competition and the luxury of time make off-market deals so appealing for developers.

24:54 - The Council Hack: A highly proactive strategy for finding off-market sites by searching council records for recently lodged development approvals where the owner might just want to sell.
36:26 - The Five-Year Letter: A crazy success story of a mentoring student who secured a deal from a coffee-stained letter he sent to an owner half a decade earlier.

There is an old saying in property development: the best deals you ever do are often the ones you walk away from. But how do you know when a problem is a minor hurdle, and when it is a complete deal killer?
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson dive into the critical "Due Diligence Red Flags" that can destroy a property development deal. Using Bob's "traffic light" system, they explain how to identify a hard red light (like an un-fillable flood zone) versus an amber light (like an overland flow path) that can be turned green with clever design. From spotting dodgy sellers who use cheap conveyancers to unearthing million-dollar stormwater pipe issues, Bob shares the hard-earned lessons from his 40-year career. If you want to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, this episode is your ultimate guide to due diligence survival.

Episode Highlights01:47 - Bob's Tip of the Week: A close call with a sudden downpour reminds us that saving the day sometimes just requires a quick phone call (and a great cleaner to shut the windows!).
03:41 - The Quickest Deal Killer: Bob recounts a site visit that looked perfect on the surface, only for a quick online council search to reveal it was 1.8 metres underwater in a flood zone.
07:34 - What Happens to Bad Sites? In the case of the flooded block, the previous house fell apart, and the council eventually bought the entire row to turn it into parkland because it was undevelopable.
10:21 - The Traffic Light System: Bob explains his due diligence methodology. Red means a potential deal killer, Amber means there might be a solution, and Green means the problem is solved.
10:37 - The "Downhill Slope" Red Flag: Why a block that slopes away from the road immediately triggers a red flag regarding gravity-fed sewer and stormwater connections (and how to turn it green by negotiating with neighbours).
13:08 - Flooding vs Overland Flow: Understanding the crucial difference between a site that goes underwater during a flood, versus a site that simply experiences temporary "overland flow" during heavy rain (which can often be solved with design).
18:19 - Naysayers and Hidden Agendas: Why you should be wary of advice from ill-informed friends, Facebook groups, or overly cautious lawyers who want to avoid any potential liability.
19:01 - The Ultimate Consultant: Why a private Town Planner is the most important person on your due diligence team when it comes to securing council approvals.
26:34 - A 400-Lot Disaster: Bob shares a story from his time managing a large development company, where the boss bought a 400-lot site without checking the stormwater capacity, resulting in a massively expensive 1km pipe upgrade.
29:22 - Dodgy Sellers: Why Hilary and Bob willingly walked away from a $10,000 due diligence investment because the sellers were disorganised, cheap, and used a conveyancer who couldn't handle a commercial option contract.

Ever wondered if you can unlock your superannuation to fund a property development? It is a popular question, but the ATO rules are incredibly strict!
In Episode 246 of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson break down exactly what you need to know before using a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) in the real estate game. Bob explains why investors leave industry funds to chase better than the average 7% return , why accountants generally recommend a minimum balance of $200,000 to get started , and the massive tax benefits of taking control of your retirement savings.
Crucially, they answer the ultimate question: Can you develop in your own SMSF? You'll learn why the answer is usually "no" if you need to borrow money , the rare exceptions for cash-funded projects , and how you can act as an external "Loan Partner" to potentially earn 10-17% returns on other people's developments.

When developing property, design isn't just about aesthetics—it is a critical driver of your bottom line. A brilliant design can maximize your sale price, while a poor one can blow out your construction costs and leave your property languishing on the market.In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary and Bob explore the high-stakes world of design decisions. Inspired by a recent collaboration with Adrian Ramsay from the "Talk Design" podcast, they unpack why over-specifying your finishes will eat into your profits, but under-specifying will punish you even more when buyers make lowball offers. Bob shares his war stories, from the disastrous "pink duplex" filled with eccentric (and unsellable) choices to the architect whose apartment designs were stunning but practically unbuildable. Learn why you must lock in your design brief early, how simple changes like increasing ceiling heights can dramatically boost perceived value, and why squeezing an extra townhouse onto a block might actually be the worst financial decision you can make.

Episode Highlights
01:31 - Bob's Tip of the Week: If you think you can make design changes mid-construction without it costing you a fortune, "you're dreaming".
06:29 - The Cost of Bad Design: How inappropriate design choices can either alienate your target market or result in an unnecessarily expensive build.
09:00 - Over-spec vs Under-spec: Why spending too much on luxury fittings reduces your margin, but under-spending will result in buyers severely punishing your final sale price.
10:47 - The "Cheap Stove" Example: How saving $1,500 on a cheap, outdated upright stove can cause buyers to drop their offer by $20,000 because it plants a seed of doubt about the entire build.
14:04 - The Briefing Process: Why developers cannot simply ask an architect for "four townhouses" and walk away; you must provide a detailed brief based on thorough market research.
15:32 - The "Pink Duplex" Disaster: A cautionary tale of developers building an eccentric, overly personalized design that failed to sell because it didn't appeal to the broader market.
18:11 - More is Not Always Better: How squeezing five townhouses onto a site meant for four results in compromised, unsellable floor plans.
27:12 - Amending Existing Approvals: Bob shares how he legally altered an existing council approval to add ensuites and extra bedrooms without triggering a massive reassessment.

Getting a "no" from a financier can feel like a punch in the gut, especially after you have poured time and money into finding what you think is the perfect development site. But before you take it personally, it is crucial to understand why the money didn't come through.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary and Bob pull back the curtain on the world of commercial property finance. They explain the critical role of the bank valuer as the ultimate "gatekeeper" and why a slightly bad valuation can kill your deal. Bob shares wild stories from the trenches, including securing a multi-million dollar loan in just four hours after a primary lender pulled out right before settlement. You will learn the difference between retail and commercial brokers, why financiers care so deeply about your profit margin, and the most common reason developers get rejected (hint: the deal was never actually good to begin with).

Walking away from a property development deal can be incredibly difficult, especially after you have invested significant time, emotion, and money. However, pushing forward with a flawed project or hoping the market will miraculously save your margins is a recipe for disaster.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, hosts Hilary Saxton and Bob Anderson discuss exactly when and why you need to walk away from a deal. Drawing on real-life examples, including a "shonky" industrial site and a joint venture that didn't align with their values , they unpack the dangers of letting emotion override logic. You will learn why "cheap insurance" like flood reports can save you millions , why you must always calculate your feasibility on today's numbers , and how to ensure you always have a contractual "back door" exit strategy before committing.

Are you accidentally lying to yourself to make a property deal look good on paper? It is the most common, and most expensive, mistake new developers make.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Sacks and Bob Anderson dissect the "lies" developers tell themselves when running a feasibility study. From assuming you can negotiate a builder's quote down by $250k, to inflating future sale prices just to make the numbers stack, Bob explains why emotion is your worst enemy in development. They discuss the difference between a project being "profitable" versus "viable," why financiers will reject a deal even if it makes money, and why "luck" (like a booming post-COVID market) is not a sustainable business plan. If you want to learn how to crunch the numbers like a professional and ensure your next project gets funded, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode Highlight:
01:07 – Bob’s Tip of the Week: Don't trust the weather forecast (or a bad feasibility study). A story about getting caught in the rain highlights the danger of relying on inaccurate information.
03:00 – The Biggest Issue: Bob reveals the #1 problem with new developers—they simply don't understand the numbers or what needs to be included in a feasibility study.
04:02 – The Danger of "Small" Errors: Why death by a thousand cuts applies to your feasibility. Leaving out small costs will ultimately destroy your profit margin.
04:36 – The Build Cost Delusion: Why you cannot just assume you can "work a builder over" to shave $250k off a quote just to make your deal work.
06:55 – The GST Trap: A cautionary tale of a developer who agreed to a build price, only to discover the builder hadn't included GST—a massive 10% blowout before construction even started.
08:33 – Time is Money: Why being overly optimistic about your construction timeline in your feasibility is a lie that will erode your profits through daily interest charges.
10:53 – The Sale Price Lie: The temptation to inflate your estimated sale price based on what it might be worth in two years, and why the bank valuer will tear that assumption apart.
14:38 – Self-Sabotage: On the flip side, why being too conservative (overestimating costs and underestimating sales) will kill perfectly good deals.
18:14 – The Finance Reality Check: A story of a naive developer who thought he could fund a major student accommodation project with a 10% deposit and mortgage insurance.
23:22 – Profitability vs. Viability: Why a project that makes a $250k profit might still be rejected by a financier if the profit margin percentage is too low for the risk involved.
29:21 – The Right Tools: Why you cannot rely on a generic spreadsheet from a friend; you need a proper property development feasibility calculator that handles GST and compounding interest accurately.

When you look at a property development feasibility, you see a dollar profit figure. But is making a profit enough to make the project viable?
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Sacks and Bob Anderson dive into the critical world of Property Development Margins. They debunk the myth that you always need a 20% margin to succeed, explaining how project size, complexity, and risk dictate the returns required by financiers. Bob shares a war story of a "skinny deal" where he had to value engineer every cost with his builder just to scrape over the line, and why he wishes he had built four townhouses instead of five. Whether you are aiming for a quick land subdivision or a complex apartment block, this episode reveals the numbers you really need to hit to get your project funded and profitable.

07:30 – Risk vs. Return: Why a complex 60-unit apartment block requires a much higher margin (buffer) than a simple 2-lot subdivision.
12:23 – Viability vs. Profitability: Just because a project makes a profit doesn't mean it's worth 2 years of your life. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
13:57 – The Financier's View: Why your project might be profitable for you but still get rejected by a bank if it doesn't meet their margin requirements (e.g., 17% vs 12%).
20:33 – Industrial Margins: A look at Bob and Hilary's current industrial project, aiming for a 25-30% margin due to the higher perceived risk of the asset class.
22:30 – Feasibility Evolution: How "estimates" become "actuals" throughout the project life cycle, refining your margin as you go.
24:32 – Bob’s "Skinny Deal": A candid story about a 5-townhouse project with a razor-thin margin that required intense value engineering to complete.
30:28 – The Lesson of Hindsight: Why Bob admits he should have built four better townhouses instead of squeezing five onto the block.

How many life-changing decisions do you avoid because you're simply too tired to make them? In property development, indecision isn't just frustrating—it's expensive. In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Sacks and Bob Anderson tackle the silent killer of success: Decision Fatigue. They explore why delaying choices clutters your mind (like a stage filled with monkeys on unicycles), why you should never make big decisions after 5pm, and the frameworks experienced developers use to act decisively. Bob shares a painful $900k mistake caused by procrastination, while Hilary explains how to "reverse engineer" your future self to overcome fear. Whether you're stuck in analysis paralysis or just need a push to start your first project, this episode will help you clear the mental clutter and take action.

12:53 – The Elephant in the Room: How looking at the entire project at once (the elephant) causes paralysis, instead of focusing on the next small step.
14:14 – The $400k Question: Bob asks: "What would you be prepared to do for $400,000 profit?"
17:21 – The Cost of "Fluff": Why learning irrelevant information (from bad courses) clutters your decision-making process.
19:28 – The "No Brainer" Decision: Hilary shares her recent purchase of a childcare centre and why confidence comes from knowing your risk factors.
25:46 – The 5pm Rule: Why you should never make critical decisions late in the day (and the research on judges' parole decisions that proves it).
30:00 – Bob's $900k Regret: A painful story of missing out on a profitable site because he put off reviewing the feasibility for two weeks.
33:08 – Bob's Decision Framework: How to use "non-negotiables" (like profit margin) to remove emotion and make faster, safer decisions.

In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Sacks and Bob Anderson dive deep into the critical topic of timeframes. They unpack the most common causes of project delays—from the "procrastination phase" before you even start, to the unpredictability of council approvals.

Are you a new property developer trying to figure out where to start? The biggest mistake most beginners make is trying to retire on their very first deal by taking on a project that is simply too big and too complex.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary strip back the confusion to reveal the best entry-level strategies for aspiring developers. They unpack why "starting small" isn't just a safety net—it's the smartest way to build confidence and competence. Bob explains the difference between cosmetic renovations and true development (creating new titles), debates the pros and cons of 1-into-2 subdivisions versus duplexes, and answers the burning question: "Can I quit my day job to do this full time?" If you want to choose a strategy that fits your budget, personality, and risk profile, this episode is your roadmap.

Have you ever hesitated on a property deal, only to watch someone else snap it up and make a fortune? It’s a sinking feeling every developer knows. But in property development, dwelling on what you missed can cost you the next big win.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary tackle the topic of "Lost Opportunities."

If you’ve been beating yourself up over a missed site, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and get ready to grab the next opportunity by the throat.

In property development, things rarely go exactly to plan. You might find an unexpected easement, the council might reject your initial design, or the market might shift overnight. When these curveballs hit, do you freeze up, or do you pivot?
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary discuss "The Power of the Pivot." You’ll discover that changing direction isn't always a sign of failure—often, it’s the key to massive profit. Bob shares his personal stories of walking away from "shonky" deals to save millions, and why selling a site with a DA can sometimes be smarter than building it.

What truly separates successful property developers from those who give up? It's not just talent, money, or connections—it's grit. When council meetings drag on, finance falls through, or you're facing yet another delay, grit is the one trait that keeps you in the game.

She explains why Angela Duckworth's research on "passion and perseverance" is the key to achieving your long-term goals. You'll learn why grit is a better predictor of success than IQ, how to build your "grit muscle" through specific habits, and why combining persistence with the right education makes you unstoppable.

Choosing the right site is the foundation of every successful property development.

Quality control is often the silent make-or-break factor in property development.

Property development can be an exciting yet challenging endeavour, particularly for those embarking on their first project. While the prospect of substantial financial gain is appealing, the process can often feel overwhelming.
Common feelings of anxiety and stress frequently accompany the early stages of property development, requiring effective strategies to help aspiring developers navigate these challenges.
Overwhelm can arise from numerous sources, especially when juggling multiple responsibilities. Many individuals face pressures not only from the complexities of property development but also from their everyday lives, including work, family, and personal commitments. This combination of stress can lead to a sense of paralysis, making it difficult to take the initial steps towards launching a property development project.
This week, Hilary and Bob explore strategies to overcome feelings of overwhelm when embarking on your first property development project. They emphasise the importance of building self-confidence and taking actionable steps to move forward.

In an ever-evolving world, the notion of change is often met with resistance. Many individuals cling to the familiar, fearing the uncertainty that accompanies transformation. However, embracing change is not merely a necessary response to the dynamics of life; it is a vital catalyst for personal and professional growth.
Change is an inherent part of life. Whether prompted by external circumstances, such as technological advancements or shifts in societal norms, or internal desires for self-improvement, change is unavoidable. Those who resist change often find themselves stagnant, stifling their potential and hindering their progress. Conversely, individuals who embrace change are more likely to adapt, innovate, and thrive in their respective fields. This adaptability is crucial in today’s fast-paced environment, where the ability to pivot can determine success or failure.
This week, Hilary invites listeners to engage in a reflective practice aimed at resetting and preparing for future success. This solo episode emphasizes the importance of taking time to review the past year, acknowledging both achievements and challenges. Hilary encourages listeners to consider their personal growth by asking critical questions about their experiences over the year, month, or even week. She highlights the significance of recognizing what went well, as these positive reflections can bolster confidence and propel individuals forward. So if you are feeling stuck or just ready to hit the reset button, you won’t want to miss this insightful episode!

About Bob Andersen: Bob Andersen (known in the property industry as “The Deal Maker”) is a Property enigma. When it comes to creating financial freedom for his followers, his “thinking” is refreshingly simple. He has the ability to make the seemingly complicated, uncomplicated. Bob has changed the lives of so many people by training them to use property development as a vehicle to build substantial cashflow and long term wealth. This in turn, has given them control over their lives and a lifestyle they could previously only dream about. It has been said that Bob has created more property millionaires in Australia than any other educator / mentee out there through his highly acclaimed property development courses. Thank goodness for Bob! Because there are way too many so-called Property education experts out there. Several, even past students, have ‘borrowed’ Bob’s material in an attempt to ‘be Bob’. As Bob says, “I must have done something right, but you can’t ‘borrow’ over 35 years of experience and over $1 billion worth of projects spread across all states of Australia and in all stages of the property cycle”.

Property development is a complex field where many different factors impact how much profit a project can make. Two of the biggest factors are the size and type of the development. These elements play an important role in determining how successful a project will be financially.
For example, the size of a development project is directly connected to the profits it can bring. A two-lot subdivision, for instance, usually makes less money than a three-lot subdivision on the same street. This is because larger projects typically include more units or properties, which increases the chance to earn more overall. While a two-lot subdivision might lead to a small profit, a three-lot subdivision can increase that profit by benefiting from lower costs per unit and selling multiple properties at once.
In this week’s episode, Hilary and Bob dive into the question: how much money can you realistically make in property development. They discuss various types of projects, the impact of location, and the importance of understanding profit margins. They also highlight the differences between duplexes, townhouses, and larger developments, as well as strategies for maximizing profits through effective financing and investment approaches. So if you’re curious about property development profits and what you can realistically make, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

Also highlighting how these connections have played a crucial role in both Bob and Gary’s life.
Gary's multifaceted career trajectory—from an NRL player to a pharmacist, then a restaurant owner, and finally a successful property developer—illustrates the power of commitment in navigating life's challenges and opportunities.
His story is a testament to the idea that success is not a linear path but rather a winding journey that requires unwavering dedication. Each phase of Gary's career demanded a different set of skills and a commitment to continuous learning and adaptation.

In this week's episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, we dive into a recap of our recent three-day property development workshop. We had an amazing time with a fantastic group of people, and we're excited to share some of the key takeaways and golden nuggets from the event.
From the very first day, we covered everything from assembling a top-notch property development team to finding the perfect site and conducting thorough due diligence. We even tackled the all-important feasibility studies, ensuring everyone left with a solid understanding of the numbers game in property development.
Day two was all about approvals and finance, two critical components of any successful property development project. We discussed the ins and outs of getting development and building approvals, and then moved on to the fascinating world of finance. One of the highlights was explaining capitalised interest, a game-changer for many attendees who realised they could secure funding without the traditional serviceability constraints. We also delved into creative strategies like joint ventures, which opened up new possibilities for many of our participants.
By day three, the energy in the room was palpable. We covered the nitty-gritty of finding and vetting builders, understanding building contracts, and navigating the post-construction phase. The networking opportunities were invaluable, with many attendees forming new friendships and potential joint venture partnerships. Overall, the workshop was a resounding success, leaving everyone feeling confident, motivated, and ready to tackle their next property development project. If you missed this one, don't worry—there will be more opportunities to join us and take your property development skills to the next level.

A document for property investors, such as an information memorandum, is a crucial tool in the world of property development. This document serves as a comprehensive guide that provides detailed information about a project or property development. It can vary in size and level of detail, depending on the specific needs and requirements of the investor or audience.
One of the primary reasons for creating an information memorandum is to attract potential investors and raise funds for a project. By providing key information about the project, such as the location, size, scope, budget, timeline, and potential returns, investors can make informed decisions about whether or not to invest in the project. The information memorandum serves as a marketing tool that showcases the potential of the project and highlights the benefits and opportunities for investors.
In this week’s episode, Hilary and Bob talk about how to create an information memorandum.

Finance for property development can be a complex and confusing topic for many property investors. It’s important to understand the differences between property developing and property investing when it comes to finance. There is one common question that property investors often have: how can they finance a property development when they have limited serviceability but sufficient equity?
Many people who are new to property development may not fully understand how finance works in this context.

Serviceability refers to the borrower's ability to repay the loan, typically demonstrated through income verification and financial statements.

They highlight the common confusion between property developing and property investing when it comes to finance. They also share insights and tips to help property investors navigate the complexities of financing property development successfully.

Property development is a lucrative business that can bring in substantial profits for those who are willing to take the risk and put in the work. However, many people often delay their property development opportunities due to misconceptions about financing options.
One of the main reasons why people delay property development opportunities is due to a lack of understanding about financing options. Many individuals believe that commercial finance is the only option for property development and are deterred by the perceived high interest rates associated with it. However residential finance can also be used for property development and can offer competitive interest rates that make it a viable option for financing projects.
In this week’s episode, Hilary and Bob talk about using residential finance for property development. They highlighted the importance of understanding the options available, such as commercial finance, and the potential pitfalls of relying solely on residential finance. Bob emphasized the significance of making informed decisions and taking action towards achieving goals, especially in the realm of property development. They also touched on the impact of interest rates and line fees in commercial loans, stressing the need for proper financial planning and advice. So join us in our latest episode and discover the secrets of using residential finance for property development!

Scarcity in property development is a significant issue that is currently affecting the housing market.

However, with the national shortage of dwellings, developers are facing increasing pressure to deliver quality housing in a timely manner.

More Podcast Info From Property Mastermind: So, you know how our attitude towards money can totally shape our future success, right? It's a deep-seated thing in our brains that affects how we deal with cash and make financial choices.
Our upbringing, what society tells us, and even our own habits can play into this whole money mindset thing. Basically, if we're stuck in a negative money mindset, like constantly splurging or holding onto every cent like it's the last, it can seriously mess with our financial game.
But here's the kicker: we have to be aware of our mindset towards money.
Once we clock where our money beliefs are coming from, whether they're helping us or hurting us, we can start making changes. There are strategies, like being thankful for what we've got, flipping negative thoughts, and surrounding ourselves with positive money vibes to level up our mindset that can help us break the cycle of our money mindset.

Investing in quality commercial developments is crucial for long-term success and profitability in the real estate industry. Commercial properties, such as office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities, offer unique opportunities for investors to diversify their portfolios and generate consistent income streams.
In this episode, we will discuss the importance of investing in quality commercial developments and the benefits they can provide to investors. One of the key advantages of investing in quality commercial developments is the potential for higher returns on investment. Commercial properties often have longer lease terms and higher rental rates, which can result in greater cash flow for investors. Additionally, well-maintained and well-located commercial properties tend to appreciate in value over time, providing investors with capital appreciation opportunities.

They delve into the world of commercial development, offering insights and tips for listeners.

Return on cost (ROC) is a crucial metric in property development that measures the profit of a project as a percentage of the total cost. It is essential for both investors and developers to understand and calculate ROC accurately to assess the financial viability of a property development venture. The importance of annualising return on investment (ROI) is a key factor that is often overlooked or misunderstood by stakeholders in the industry.
Annualising ROI is crucial for accurately evaluating the profit of a project over a specific time period, typically one year. This is important because it allows investors and developers to compare the return on their investment to other investment opportunities or benchmarks, such as the interest rate offered by banks. By annualising ROI, stakeholders can make more informed decisions about the potential returns and risks associated with a project.
In this week’s episode Hilary and Bob discuss how to understand profit in property development. They share insightful tips and insights on the topic, including a reminder not to judge a person by their car! So stay tuned to learn from the legendary Bob Anderson, gaining valuable knowledge about maximising profit in property development.

Town planners play a crucial role in navigating planning schemes for property developers. Planning schemes are put in place to provide order and structure to the development process, ensuring that developments comply with regulations and guidelines set by local councils. Town planners, both those working for councils and those in private practice, help developers understand and navigate these planning schemes to ensure their projects are successful.
Town planners also play a critical role in helping developers understand the boundaries of the planning scheme and identify potential opportunities to deviate from the plan while still meeting regulatory requirements. They can provide valuable insights and guidance on how to navigate these gray areas and work with councils to achieve the desired outcomes for a development project.
In this week’s episode Hilary and Bob discuss are all town planners created equally. They explore the differences between council town planners and private town planners as well as the roles, responsibility and interactions with both types of town planners, shedding light on the importance of understanding their functions in property development. So don’t miss this week’s episode where you can get the inside scoop on town planners and their role in property development.

On this week's episode, Hilary talks about what stops you from property developing. With years of experience she provides valuable insights and thought-provoking questions to help listeners uncover the reasons behind their hesitations. Whether it’s fear, self-sabotage, lack of knowledge or other factors, Hilary offers practical solutions and encourages listeners to take small steps towards their property development goals.
In today's fast-paced and often impersonal world, it can be easy to put up walls and protect ourselves from vulnerability. We may fear being judged, rejected, or hurt if we show our true selves to others. However, it’s important to let down our guard and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
This is also true when it comes to pursuing property development. The fear of the unknown can stop you in your tracks when you are looking to pursue more in life, but why let that stop you? If we take small steps towards our goals and the things we want we can break away from the vulnerabilities and pursue the things we love in life.

Investing in property development can be a lucrative endeavor for those who have the desire and drive to get ahead in life. While it may not be suitable for everyone, individuals who are willing to take risks, learn, and take action can benefit greatly from investing in property development projects.
One of the main reasons people choose to invest in other people's projects is because they may not have the time or knowledge to undertake a property development themselves. In some cases, individuals may have the necessary funds and expertise but are too busy with their existing businesses or commitments. In such situations, joint ventures with other individuals who have the time and knowledge can be a beneficial arrangement. This allows both parties to contribute their strengths and resources to the project, increasing the chances of success.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary discuss Investing Insights: The Art Of Backing Other People’s Property Developments. They explore the reasons why someone would want to invest in someone else’s project, such as getting a good return on their money and not having the time or knowledge to do the development themselves. So if you’re curious about how to invest in property development without all the risk, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

About Bob Andersen:
Bob Andersen (known in the property industry as “The Deal Maker”) is a Property enigma. When it comes to creating financial freedom for his followers, his “thinking” is refreshingly simple. He has the ability to make the seemingly complicated, uncomplicated. Bob has changed the lives of so many people by training them to use property development as a vehicle to build substantial cashflow and long term wealth. This in turn, has given them control over their lives and a lifestyle they could previously only dream about. It has been said that Bob has created more property millionaires in Australia than any other educator / mentee out there through his highly acclaimed property development courses. Thank goodness for Bob! Because there are way too many so-called Property education experts out there. Several, even past students, have ‘borrowed’ Bob’s material in an attempt to ‘be Bob’. As Bob says, “I must have done something right, but you can’t ‘borrow’ over 35 years of experience and over $1 billion worth of projects spread across all states of Australia and in all stages of the property cycle”.

Property investing and development are two distinct strategies in the real estate industry that individuals pursue to generate wealth and financial growth. While both approaches involve investing in properties, they differ in terms of objectives, methods, and financial considerations.
Property investing focuses on generating passive income and long-term wealth through property ownership and rental income. Property development, on the other hand, is creating the investments from the ground up that can be sold or held as investments. So how do you know which option is best when it comes to your property development journey?
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary talk about will property investing be your handbrake? They dive into how some people start with property investing but eventually hit a wall with banks not loaning them any more money. They also suggest that property development might be a better option in these cases since it allows for more creativity with finances. So if you’re looking for more expert advice, you won’t want to miss this week's episode!

Effective communication is crucial in property development. This is because property development involves coordinating with various professionals and stakeholders. These professionals play a critical role in the success of a property development project, as they bring their expertise and knowledge to the table.

Property developers need to provide direction and convey their requirements to these professionals. It’s also important to know that ongoing communication is necessary to ensure that the project is progressing as planned and to address any issues or changes that may arise. Regular updates, meetings, and discussions with the professionals involved are essential to keep everyone on the same page and ensure that the project stays on track.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary discuss how communicating effectively will impact your property development success. They emphasise the importance of coordinating with professionals such as architects, town planners, engineers, accountants, and lawyers, and how clear communication is necessary for them to do their job well.

Bob Andersen (known in the property industry as “The Deal Maker”) is a Property enigma. When it comes to creating financial freedom for his followers, his “thinking” is refreshingly simple. He has the ability to make the seemingly complicated, uncomplicated. Bob has changed the lives of so many people by training them to use property development as a vehicle to build substantial cashflow and long term wealth. This in turn, has given them control over their lives and a lifestyle they could previously only dream about. It has been said that Bob has created more property millionaires in Australia than any other educator / mentee out there through his highly acclaimed property development courses. Thank goodness for Bob! Because there are way too many so-called Property education experts out there. Several, even past students, have ‘borrowed’ Bob’s material in an attempt to ‘be Bob’. As Bob says, “I must have done something right, but you can’t ‘borrow’ over 35 years of experience and over $1 billion worth of projects spread across all states of Australia and in all stages of the property cycle”.

Life rules are guidelines or principles that individuals set for themselves to navigate through life. While having some life rules can be beneficial, too many can hinder success and personal growth.

They discuss the importance of education and competence in attracting investors, emphasising the need for practical experience, knowledge, and skills.

A negative mindset can have a detrimental effect on one's success, particularly in the field of property development. It can be easy to fall into the trap of negativity, especially when things don't go according to plan. However, it's important to recognise when this mindset is hindering progress and take steps to address it.
Having a negative mindset can also affect decision-making by impacting the way people perceive situations. It can lead to a pessimistic outlook, making it difficult to see the positive aspects of a situation. This could result in people missing opportunities that could have been beneficial for their property development projects.
In this week's episode, Hilary talks about why a negative mindset will stop you from becoming a successful property developer. She shares various factors that can contribute to negative thinking, things like bad experiences, external influences and feelings of imposter syndrome. Hilary offers strategies to overcome these obstacles and teaches you how to maintain a positive mindset that fosters growth and progress! So if you are constantly teetering on the negative mindset train and are ready to hop off at the positivity station, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

With anything in life there are always pros and cons to weigh out when you’re making a decision, especially when it comes to property development. Property development is one thing but when you start to wonder outside the lines and look into developing outside of your area you want to make sure you know what works and what doesn’t.
Though it might seem a little scary at first, developing remotely can be a lucrative and rewarding venture for property developers but it requires a strong team to ensure its success. Communication is also critical in remote development, you must be able to effectively communicate with your team on the ground to ensure that the projects are progressing as planned.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary discuss the pros and cons of developing property remotely. They emphasise the importance of having a good team on the ground in the remote location, reductions in stamp duty and council contributions and the potential of tax benefits. So if you have been thinking about expanding your property development but are not sure if it is the right move, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

Consistency is key when it comes to achieving goals. This is something that is demonstrated by the British cycling team, who went from winning two medals at the 2002 Olympics to winning 18 gold medals at the 2008 Olympics. The team’s success was due to their coach, Dave Brailsford, who decided to take a different approach to training. He implemented small, 1% changes in a multitude of areas, such as nutrition, warm-ups and cool-downs, massage gels, hygiene, pillows and sleep.
It is important to have a goal in mind when striving for consistency. This will help to keep you motivated and focused on the end result. It is also important to remember that small changes can make a big difference. Even something as simple as traveling with your own pillow can help to ensure consistency in your sleep and give you an extra edge in achieving your goals.
In this week's episode, Hilary shares 5 tips to achieve what you want. She touches on the power of 1% betterment when it comes to achieving goals and sticking to them consistently.

Successfully executing a development has the potential to bring in a great return on investment. However, it is important to understand the risks associated with property development before diving in and this is why you need to know what you need to know.
Common risks at each stage can sometimes include:

Exit stage: Not being able to sell your development for what you wanted.

Believing in yourself and taking action is essential for achieving any goal. It is easy to get discouraged when we are not seeing the results we want, but it is important to remember that setbacks and challenges are a natural part of any journey. It is only through perseverance and taking action that we can reach our goals.
One way to do this is to reflect on our goals and assess whether they still align with our values. This will help us to identify our roadblocks and determine whether they are internal or external. If the roadblock is internal, such as self-sabotage or fear of failure, we can work on building our self-confidence and developing coping strategies. If the roadblock is external, such as a lack of money or education, we can look for ways to overcome these challenges.
In this week's episode, Hilary talks about how you can progress on your property development journey. She shares 10 tips such as reflecting on goals and taking action, reflecting on your goals to determine if they are still realistic or relevant and so much more! So if you are looking for some tips and tricks on how to progress on your property development journey, you won't want to miss this week’s episode!

When it comes to property development, it is not always possible to access the full amount of equity in a property. Equity is the difference between the value of a property and the amount of debt that is owed on it. Accessing equity can be a powerful financial tool for property development projects, but it is important to understand how it works and the different ways to access it.
Ultimately, equity can be a great way to create wealth. It can be used to purchase additional property, finance development projects, or pay off debt. However, it is important to understand the risks involved and to ensure that the loan is affordable and can be serviced before accessing equity.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary talk about leveraging your equality for property development. They explain what equality is, how to calculate equity and the different ways to access it. So if you are still trying to figure out how to use equity when it comes to your property development, you won't want to miss this week’s episode!

When it comes to building a home, one of the most important steps is to know the risk associated with your builder. While it is common for builders to go bankrupt in the good times, it can be even more devastating if it happens in the bad times. It is important to be aware of the risks associated with any builder and to take steps to mitigate them.
When choosing a builder, it is important to do research. Ask for references and read reviews. Make sure the builder is licensed and insured. Ask questions about their experience and the types of projects they have completed. It is also important to ask about their financial situation. Knowing the builder's financial health can help you determine whether they are at risk of bankruptcy.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary talk about what to do when your builder goes bankrupt. They discuss why more building companies go bankrupt, what questions to ask potential builders and the importance of speaking with a lawyer to know and understand the legal implications of a builder going bankrupt. So if you’ve found yourself in this type of situation or you are looking for ways to avoid ending up in a situation like this, you won't want to miss this week’s episode!

About Bob Andersen:
Bob Andersen (known in the property industry as “The Deal Maker”) is a Property enigma. When it comes to creating financial freedom for his followers, his “thinking” is refreshingly simple. He has the ability to make the seemingly complicated, uncomplicated. Bob has changed the lives of so many people by training them to use property development as a vehicle to build substantial cashflow and long term wealth. This in turn, has given them control over their lives and a lifestyle they could previously only dream about. It has been said that Bob has created more property millionaires in Australia than any other educator / mentee out there through his highly acclaimed property development courses. Thank goodness for Bob! Because there are way too many so-called Property education experts out there. Several, even past students, have ‘borrowed’ Bob’s material in an attempt to ‘be Bob’. As Bob says, “I must have done something right, but you can’t ‘borrow’ over 35 years of experience and over $1 billion worth of projects spread across all states of Australia and in all stages of the property cycle”.

When it comes to selling property, it is often best to hire an expert. This is because the laws and regulations around the sale of property can vary from state to state, making it difficult for those without knowledge and experience to navigate. Additionally, selling property is a time consuming process that can take a lot of effort and energy. Hiring an expert to sell your property can save you time, money, and stress.
However, there are times when it may be beneficial to sell your project yourself. For instance, if you have a passion for the project, you may be able to better communicate its value and features to potential buyers. Additionally, if you are confident in your ability to market the property and handle the paperwork, it can be a cost-effective way to sell. If you are able to build relationships with potential buyers, you may be able to negotiate a better price.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary talk about everything you need to know about selling your property development project. They explain how the legality of selling your property can be different depending on what state you are in and also the importance of having the right people managing the sales process. So if you’ve been thinking of selling your property development projects but don’t know where to start, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

Financing property development in 2023 is a hot topic due to the tightening of the banks. The first step in financing property development in 2023 is understanding the basics of retail finance. This is the type of finance used to purchase a home or an investment property. Banks and building societies are the most common sources of retail finance and they usually offer loan to value ratios.
However, financing property development is more complex than retail finance. This is because the process and the lenders vary. Small projects may require different lenders than larger projects. Not all lenders offer the same terms, so it’s important to research lenders and compare their offers before committing to financing a property development.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hillary discuss how to finance your property development in 2023. They explain that although the fundamentals remain the same, different variables exist and the process for financing small projects is an important topic of discussion. So if you’re ready to invest but still skeptical on the financial side of property development, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

This is why it is important to stay informed about economic trends and to be prepared for any potential downturns.
In this week's episode we talk about are we in a property recession? We discuss factors such as falling property values, rising interest rates, and economic recession and decipher whether these factors indicate a recession or would be better interpreted in isolation. So stick around and get the information you need to make the right decisions with your property development, you won’t want to miss this week's episode!

When it comes to property development there are so many different factors that come into play when choosing the perfect location for your development. One of these factors may be building close to a train station or railroad tracks. While this may seem like a terrible idea to pursue there are always pros and cons to consider before making that final decision.
For some living close to a transport node has many advantages and can be beneficial for both developers and potential homeowners. By taking the time to research the area and talk to locals, you can gain a better understanding of the potential of the site. You may find that there are advantages that you had not previously considered and may be worth looking past the cons of purchasing this site.
In this week's episode we talk about will trains affect your property development. We discuss different aspects of trains, such as noise and visual pollution and how their proximity to the development site could have an impact on your property development. But we also discuss that being close to a train station or railroad tracks isn’t always a bad thing and shouldn’t steer you away before taking everything into consideration. So if you are looking into potential properties that may be close to a train and you’re not sure if it’s worth the purchase, you won’t want to miss this week's episode!

Good relationships are essential for success in many areas of life, and building strong relationships with your builder is no exception. Working with a builder on a property development project can be a long and stressful journey, but having a great relationship with your builder can make the process much smoother and more enjoyable.
The first step to developing a strong relationship with your builder is to choose the right one. It is important to research the builder's past projects and get a fee proposal before committing to working with them. You should also consider how well you will work together and if their communication style matches yours. If you are a "yakker" who likes to talk on the phone every day, you will need to find a builder who is comfortable with that level of communication.
In this week's episode we talk about how to work with a builder. We dive into the importance of communicating effectively, why you need to negotiate fair contracts and how a good relationship with your builder is key! So if you are still trying to improve your communication skills, you won’t want to miss this week's episode!

Property development is a complex process that requires careful consideration of a variety of factors. Many people assume that the most important factor in property development is the cost of the property itself, but in reality, there is much more to it than that. Property development is, in fact, all about numbers.
When it comes to property development, numbers play an integral role in the entire process. From the initial feasibility analysis to the final sale of the property, numbers are the key to success. The feasibility analysis is the first step in the property development process, and it is essential to ensure that the project is financially viable. This involves assessing the costs associated with the project, such as the cost of the land, the cost of construction, and the cost of marketing the property. It also involves forecasting the potential income from the project, such as the expected sale price of the property or the expected rental income.
In this week's episode we talk about property development feasibilities. We dive into what GRV stands for, the importance of start-up costs and proper calculations and why understanding the numbers is important. So if you are still trying to get the numbers right, you won’t want to miss this week's episode!

The year is coming to an end and we wanted to take this time to reflect on the things we have accomplished this year as well as setting goals for the New Year! This is a great time to look back on the things you have achieved as well as maybe areas you would like to improve on for the new year.
It’s important to have a plan and to use some form of rating system when it comes to assessing where you are at with your property development. This allows you to know if you are happy with where you are at right now or if there are things you should improve on in the future.
In this week's episode we talk about planning property development. We discuss the importance of looking back at your accomplishments, making sure your team is performing and looking into things you want to change or accomplish in the New Year. So if you’re contemplating if you are happy with where you are at with your property development, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

With most things in life the best way to be successful and reach your end goal is to have a plan. Not only is it creating that plan but also sticking to it. When we start to build success we can sometimes slow down our progress and self sabotage ourselves in the process.
This is why it is so important to know what our strengths and weaknesses are and when identifying our weaknesses we learn how to improve on those. Some ways to identify these would be to monitor, check in on things and stay in your lane with the things you are good at. This is what makes property developers such great outsourcers because they are able to identify what their strengths and weaknesses are and know how to outsource those weaknesses.
In this week's episode we talk about how to succeed in property development. We dive into ways to be successful, knowing what your strengths are and our highlights from 2022. So if you’re tired of the self sabotaging and ready to jump in and be successful, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

Getting involved in property development is a journey that everyone can set sail on but that doesn’t mean it will always be easy. In life typically the things worthwhile are not easy, but that doesn’t mean you should not put in the effort to succeed.
Nothing happens overnight and it will take work but the risk over the reward will always be worth it in the end. Even if you run into a problem, that shouldn’t scare you away from property development because with every problem you come across there is usually a solution and sometimes that solution could be more beneficial for you in the long run.
In this week's episode we talk about property development war stories. Our property development community submitted their questions and concerns around development and we are here to discuss these topics and share how you can overcome these situations! So if you’ve struggled with property development or still trying to find the courage to jump on in, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

Everything in life is built off of some form of foundation. Without a strong foundation eventually with time things will start to fall apart and all your hard work will crumble. This is the same when it comes to property development. Starting with a solid foundation will set you up for success and allow you to thrive and build properties with ease.
In this week's episode we talk about property development foundations. We discuss the importance of having a solid foundation, how different soil can affect your development and why it’s important to have your soil tested before starting your development. So if you're still struggling with getting your development going or maybe just need some simple advice, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

So take one step at a time and do it properly the first time, then you won't have to take a chance at failing or purchasing a property that could potentially be a dud.
In this week's episode we talk about what to do if you buy a dud site. We discuss why it’s so important to do your due diligence, to be patient and to be educated before you make your first purchase.

When it comes to property development you must believe you are a property developer before you start your first project. Most people will feel the pressure of imposter syndrome and not know how to get over that perception. But when it comes down to it even before your first project is complete you are still a property developer.
The way that people perceive you and the way that you introduce yourself play huge roles in potential partnerships. You must also understand that opportunities are everywhere but you must alway remain professional and confident when having these conversations.
In this week's episode we talk about how to find a joint venture partner. We discuss why the way you are perceived is important, the importance of having a website and also the importance of networking. So if you are pursuing a joint venture partner but don’t know where to start or how to move forward, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

As humans we love to fall into routines and when it comes to breaking those routines it can become very uncomfortable to change. We must dig deep and ask ourselves what does your future self want and what does your future self look like?
Once you have made those realizations it ultimately comes down to your level of determination to succeed in property development. Change is necessary and if you are determined to make it work then you will have to find the time to prioritize the things you need to do to be successful in property development.
In this week's episode we talk about how much of your time does it take to do a property development. We discuss why you have to make space for property development, why it’s necessary to make change, and what sacrifices you are willing to make to achieve your goals. So if you are still feeling like you just don’t have the time to start a development, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

At times life can be a little scary. Sometimes we may make decisions or talk ourselves out of pursuing a specific dream based off of our fears. We fear failure, losing money or being unsure of what to do. But why should you let those fears get in the way of you pursuing something you’ve always wanted to do?
Not only are you dealing with fear but you are also dealing with lack of confidence. So it’s time to stop over thinking about it and just take action! Taking smaller steps will eventually lead to longer habits and breaking away from the “I’ll do it when…” mentality will help you leave the fears behind and get you going in the right direction.
In this week's episode we talk about how you have to get off the fence when it comes to property development. We discuss why you need to stop making stupid decisions, stop looking for cheap courses and what you need to do to get off the fence! So if you have been sitting comfortably on top of the fence and ready to break the bad habits and jump right in, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

We dive into why you shouldn’t purchase a property in your own name, why not to demo before the DA is approved and mistakes made when buying at an auction.

Property development is all about creative strategies and thinking outside the box. We are all surrounded by potential property development but when that property is owned by a landowner how can we work together to both benefit in the end?
Oftentimes they may not know that their property has potential for development opportunities or maybe they don’t understand the process and it sounds too risky for them. So knowing what you have to offer and having the right advice can set you and the landowner up for success!
In this week's episode we talk about how you structure a joint venture with a landowner. We dive into why you should have a written agreement, how you might pull one together and why it’s so important to get good advice. So if you are interested in tapping into potential land for development but needing to deal with a landowner, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

There are always lots of variables that go into property development. Knowing the roles and responsibilities of these different variables and positions can help you make the best decisions when it comes to your property development. We all want to make the right decisions but how do you know you’re getting the most bang for your buck?
You might think it’s best to outsource and let other people make the decisions while you kick back and collect the check. But when doing this, what are you actually missing out on? Not only is knowledge important but it’s also important to read your agreements and understand them so that there is no confusion with the process of your development.
In this week's episode we talk about what you should charge for a property development property management fee. We dive into the role of a development manager, the benefits of being the development manager, and what a DMA is. So if you are interested in the benefits of engaging with a property manager or maybe considering becoming one, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

In life timing is everything, but how will you know when it's the right time? We often set aside our dreams and goals because we never know if it’s the right time to take that leap. But if you never take that leap how will you achieve those dreams and goals and potentially live the life you always wanted.
For most it’s scary to walk away from the security of a full time job. But maybe you don’t have to walk away for good just yet. It is possible to start a project while working full time, eventually transitioning to part time before taking that leap of walking away for good.
In this week's episode we talk about when you should leave your full time job to do property development full time. We dive into getting your finances situated first, why timing is so important, and that there will always be bumps in the road but there are always ways to get around them. So if you are ready to be financially free and have more time to spend with your family, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!
Episode Highlights:
When can I leave my full time job to do property development full time [02:40]
Upcoming workshops [03:14]
Can you do one project while still having a full time job? [09:02]
What is the deciding factor when deciding to do property development full time [10:07]
Is there a time frame you need to be at a job for the banks to consider you [12:12]
Taking a part time role when transitioning [15:54]
You don’t need a lot to be a property developer [17:32]
Know what your why is [21:33]
The benefits of being full time [25:19]
Timing your transition well [27:55]

As humans, we always set limitations on ourselves. Am I too old, am I too young? What if I don’t have enough money or have enough income? We allow these limitations to stop us from pursuing things we want to pursue and allow us to create this comfort zone we can’t break free from.
The problem is that you’re lacking self-confidence. When you are clear about what you want and you map out what it is you want, it makes it easier for your brain to understand and achieve these goals. Your old ways will not open new doors, so let’s create new ways to effectively achieve your goals and allow you to fully pursue your property development dreams!
In this week's episode, I talk about how you can be a property developer. I dive into the things that hold you back, I ask why do you want to be a property developer and what’s stopping you from becoming one and ways to take the steps you need to move forward. So if you have been allowing your comfort zone to control you and keep you away from starting property development, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

How can you be a property developer [01:34]
Why women should be property developers [02:52]
What if I don’t have any money? [05:29]
Am I too old or too young? [06:19]
What if I don’t earn enough? [07:51]
Why do you want to do property development? [08:50]

Money is a driving factor in our daily lives. Whether we are trying to make money or if we are needing to spend it. With property development, it could be a little overwhelming because everyone wants to make the most bang for their buck but don’t let the fear of money stop you from continuing or even starting your journey.
Whether you’re looking to build a single or double level, maybe a four pack or a townhouse. Each development has its own pros and cons to developing. Learning what to take into account and how to crunch the numbers is part of the process to know which development will make you the most money.
In this week's episode we talk about which property development makes the most money. We dive into the different types of property developments, things you should take into consideration when deciding on what kind of development you want to pursue, and generally what has the best ROC. So if you have been contemplating which development suits you, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

It’s normal to struggle with stuff. But when it comes to property development, there is a common struggle that I often see.
That struggle is the lack of self-belief.
In fact, more than 75% of people who have attended our workshops admit that they doubt themselves. This goes not only for beginners but also experienced people in the field.

Structures are, in simpler words, the name that you buy a property in. Whether it’s through a trust or a company, that entity is considered as the owner of that property.
Some developers purchase development sites in their personal name. Nothing legally wrong with that, of course but you could be exposed to higher tax rates and risk.
I invited once again legendary property developer Bob Andersen to my show. Bob’s 38 years in property development including 15 years in property education makes him the right person to shed light on this topic.
We cover the 3 main benefits of having structures in place, the huge risk you are exposed to in terms of taxes and asset protection, when you put a property in your personal name, and the different types of structures you can use.
Curious about using structures for your next development project? Tune in now!
Episode Highlights: Introduction [0:00] Some legal disclaimer [2:09] What are Structures and Entities? [2:49] Reasons why you need structures [4:01] Tax minimisation [4:08] Asset protection [4:45] Succession planning [5:28] The purpose of intention when it comes to property development [5:56] Deciding factors that affect your intentions [7:11] What happens when you change your mind about your initial intention? [8:44] Bob explains the intention tied to commercial development [10:58] The value of being clear with your intentions from the start [14:52] Who are the ideal people to give you the best advice on structures? [15:47] Types of structures [18:23] Why we discourage naming development sites in your personal name [20:59] What to do if you bought a property in your name and you’d like to develop it instead? [22:19] How do you value risk? [24:35]

Many people go through life unaware of the skills they possess, stopping them from achieving their full potential. So when they face a challenge (such as the current lockdowns we’re having), the immediate reaction is to feel incapable of rising above it. But the reality is that they do already have many of the skills they need to not only overcome it, but to succeed.
In this episode, I talk about traits that you probably already have that you can capitalise on. Whether you are new to property development or thinking about becoming a property developer, knowing that you can utilise your current skills to your advantage can mean the difference between staying stuck or moving forward.
Are you someone who may have been overlooking the skills you possess? Then listen and subscribe to this podcast. We might just be able to give the help that you need, so tune in!

New property developers and uneducated property owners can be completely wrong when deciding what is the highest and best use of a property. They tend to think that jamming more dwellings into a property makes it worth more money which is not always the case.
Another mistake mum and dad property owners make is getting development permits and thinking the permit will always increase the value of a property, again this is not always the case.
If you’re interested to find out all the “facts” about highest and best use of property, you’ve come to the right place.
Listen to Bob Andersen, the “Google” of property, as I usually call him, discuss the facts and fallacies behind evaluating the highest and best use of a property.
Tune in!
Episode Highlights: Introduction [0:00] Bob’s description of the highest and best use of property [1:19] Can a property have more than one value? [2:06] Is it wise to assume that the more properties you jam into a piece of property, the more money you make? [3:13] Evaluating the different uses of property according to the highest and best use [7:07] In the current market, what’s the present opportunity if we’re looking at highest and best use? [11:55] The risks of purchasing a site on a future sale price against a current acquisition. [12.40] Bob explains the Sydney Melbourne correction in 2017 and how some people got caught. [13:09] Bob explains why most of the time you won’t really need a development permit for your property [13:31] Highest and best use of property by adding extra properties [18:28] What is the highest and best use of a property? [20:00] Know your local market and build according to it [22:02] Bob’s advice for property developers around highest and best use of property [22:59]

Two words for today’s episode: Courage and Conviction. Sometimes, there comes a time when we are forced to take action for many different reasons. After a divorce, Mary realised she needed to do something to make money, and her journey led her to a rather large project that is a masterpiece for Hobart.
In today’s episode, I chatted with Mary Brownell — a first-time developer who had previously completed a few renovations and then began a project that escalated. Mary did a great job and has created something amazing for the city of Hobart.
Mary tells us of the challenges she had, but despite the challenges, she made it. The reason I brought Mary into this episode is to inspire people who are interested in property development to know that it is possible for everybody.
Mary’s wall plaque that helped her on the way was…
“Through mud and blood to greener pastures.”
Episode Highlights: Introduction [0:00] What inspired Mary to do property development? [1:09] Mary talks about her recent project [1:42] Coping with fast growth [7:07] Mary talks about her life challenges and how that pushed her to charge forward in her property development journey [10:59] Empowering women through property development [13:54] If you could go back and change something, what would you have done differently? [18:52] A supportive circle of people can go a long way (even influence your children’s lives) [21:21] How does Mary feel about her accomplishments? [25:23] Mary shares her plans for the near future [26:04] What was Mary’s property journey like? [27:27]
About Mary Brownell:
Mary Brownell is a local developer who is well-known for her project, “The Rox” at Hobart. Mary has made it big time as she makes it to magazines and newspapers for a commendation on her work — “The Rox”.

If you’ve been listening to our previous podcast episodes, you’ll find I keep saying that there are a lot of different reasons people choose to get into property development.

The question is, “how do you get started with your property development journey while working on your day job?”
That’s exactly what Bob and I are going to answer in today’s episode.
