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.

Episode Highlights
- 00:32 - Bob's Tip of the Week: The historical validity behind "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," and why eating seasonal fruits and vegetables perfectly aligns with your body's natural needs.
- 03:33 - The Infill Public Liability Rules: Why securing public liability insurance on a vacant lot is absolutely essential to protect yourself if trespassers illegally enter your land and suffer an injury.
- 04:42 - The "Stupidity Insurance" Reality: Hilary explains why public liability acts as stupidity insurance for developers when individuals choose to break onto dangerous construction layouts.
- 04:48 - The Vacant House Trap: Why many standard Australian insurers strictly refuse to cover unoccupied residential dwellings or cap their vacancy allowances at a tight 30 days.
- 05:31 - The $8,000 Dirt Dumping Disaster: Bob recalls a 2014 four-townhouse development with his son Luke where failing to erect temporary fencing led to an unauthorized truck dumping thousands of dollars worth of excess dirt on their vacant block.
- 08:55 - The Construction Stage Handover: Why building surveyors and certifiers refuse to stamp your structural approvals until the builder provides physical receipts for all-risks insurance, public liability, and portable long service levies.
- 11:16 - The Critical Uninsured Gap: The highly dangerous phase between practical completion and purchaser settlement where newbies forget to take back insurance from the builder, leaving their security exposed to catastrophic fire risks.
- 12:20 - Hidden in the Fine Print: Why the bank's strict requirements to insure the finished building are usually buried deep in six-point font on page 28 of your commercial finance documentation.
- 14:57 - A Real-Life Insurance Blunder: Bob and Hilary share an ongoing nightmare where their specialized insurance broker accidentally placed their 1993 childcare center asset with a provider that explicitly excluded vacant properties under renovation.
- 16:01 - Vagrants, Copper, and Flooding: How drug users broke into their unoccupied commercial facility, stripped out the copper ceiling plumbing, and triggered a massive building flood.
- 17:04 - The Broken Broker Promise: Why their insurance broker initially promised to cover the flood damages via his personal indemnity insurance, only to completely back out once the official quote ballooned past original expectations.
- 19:31 - Walking Away from the Legal Fight: Why a former in-house insurance lawyer advised them to walk away from a lawsuit, noting that major corporate insurers will intentionally drag out litigation in court for years to bleed standard developers dry.
- 20:54 - When Bad Turns into Good: How repairing the structural flood damage forced them to tear down walls, unexpectedly exposing deep, hidden toxic mold that would have completely closed down the childcare center after opening.
- 21:38 - The Commercial Childcare Flipping Model: The unique parameters of retrofitting an existing commercial asset and securing a long-term 15+15-year lease option with an established not-for-profit operator.
- 23:48 - Reversing the Holding Cost Math: Unlike a residential duplex that bleeds interest while sitting on the market, the substantial cash flow from a leased childcare lease eclipses bank interest, meaning the longer it takes to sell, the more profit they make.
- 24:47 - Clawing Back the $100,000 Loss: How Bob and Hilary are bypassing real estate agents to sell the finalized $9.5 million asset directly to their private network, saving over six figures in commissions to offset the uninsured repair costs.

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.

Episode Highlights
- 01:21 - Bob's Tip of the Week: Bob jokes that the secret to a long-lasting relationship is "selective hearing," particularly for men who need to filter out distractions when focusing on complex tasks.
- 02:53 - The $500,000 Blunder: Bob recalls an expensive real-life mistake where a developer incorrectly handled the GST on a $5 million purchase, completely forfeiting their right to use the margin scheme.
- 03:33 - The Beginner's Blindspot: Why GST comes as a shock to new developers. While business owners deal with quarterly Business Activity Statements (BAS), everyday employees rarely have direct exposure to complex tax credit systems.
- 05:14 - Hiring a Specialized Property Accountant: Why general accountants fall short. Bob emphasizes that property tax law has distinct nuances, making it vital to hire an accountant deeply experienced in development.
- 06:35 - GST Exemptions in Your Feasibility: A breakdown of the development costs that are entirely exempt from GST, including council application fees, local council rates, stamp duty, and land tax.
- 08:15 - The Margin Scheme Explained: Bob provides a plain-English definition of the margin scheme, explaining how it legally excludes the original land purchase price from your final sales GST calculation.
- 11:13 - The Mum and Dad Advantage: Why infill developers can easily qualify for the margin scheme when buying older residential homes from everyday families who are not registered for GST.
- 12:59 - The Mandatory Contract Clause: The critical mistake that disqualifies developers from the margin scheme. Bob warns that both the buyer and seller must explicitly agree to the scheme in writing within the contract before settlement.
- 14:18 - The $109,000 Math Example: Bob demonstrates the math on a $3.6 million townhouse sale. Forgoing the margin scheme results in a $327,000 GST bill, whereas applying it drops the bill to $218,000—saving a clean $109,000 in profit.
- 15:15 - The Spec House Trap: A cautionary tale of an uneducated individual who built a spec home in their personal name, resulting in maximum personal income tax and a complete failure to manage mandatory GST thresholds.
- 17:50 - Commercial Going Concerns: How GST applies to commercial real estate. Bob explains that selling an industrial unit with an active tenant and lease in place classifies the transaction as a "going concern," making it GST-free.
- 20:40 - Old Houses vs. Substantial Renovations: Why cosmetic renovations on an existing front house remain GST-free, whereas "substantial renovations" (such as jacking the house up or building underneath) trigger a new GST liability.
- 22:55 - Ignorance is Not a Defense: Bob issues a strict warning that the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) does not accept ignorance of tax law as a defense, with penalties frequently ranging from 50% to 70% of the tax owed.
- 24:11 - The Five-Year Rule & The Intent Trap: A deep dive into the ATO's historic crackdowns. Bob explains how the ATO successfully used developers' original commercial finance applications to prove their "intent to sell," wiping out their 50% capital gains tax concessions and issuing massive 70% penalties.

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

01:05 - Bob's Tip of the Week: A surprise credit card notification reveals that Hilary has booked them in to see The Devil Wears Prada for its final night at the Deluxe Theater.
02:53 - The 5-Day Challenge: Hilary announces their upcoming free 5-Day Property Development Challenge, hosted in a closed Facebook group to build massive momentum for aspiring developers.
04:06 - What is a Sleeper Site? Bob defines these micro-opportunities, which include duplexes, battle-axe blocks, corner block cut-offs, and secondary dwellings or granny flats.
06:28 - The Power Triad of Site Selection: Why you must seamlessly tick three non-negotiable boxes—size, zoning, and frontage—before you get excited about a potential site.
09:34 - Securing a Council Relaxation: Bob shares how his team successfully obtained a site area relaxation from council on a townhouse project by proving their layout perfectly satisfied all design rules.
11:17 - The Cantilever Design Hack: How Bob and his son Luke overcame a narrow street frontage by cantilevering the second storey of their townhouses directly over the driveway.
12:00 - The Westfield Exception: How Bob successfully argued for a car parking space relaxation by leveraging proximity to a massive Westfield shopping centre and a train station.
15:36 - Unlocking the Backyard: Creative ways to gain mandatory side street access, including shifting an old Queenslander house sideways on its stumps or buying a narrow strip of land from a neighbour.
17:06 - Battle-Axe Block Secrets: Understanding the structural difference between a battle-axe block and a hatchet block, and why council rules dictate whether the "ax handle" counts toward your minimum lot size.
18:15 - Council Red Tape Variations: Why some progressive councils allow you to sell the front house to pay down debt before building the rear dwelling, while conservative councils force you to build the back house first.
22:55 - The Emotional Seller Blunder: A cautionary tale of a mentoring student who missed out on a site because their real estate agent clumsily revealed to an emotionally attached elderly seller that the house would be demolished.
25:47 - The Ultimate Corner Block Formula: Bob outlines his 1990s strategy of keeping the existing corner house on its own freehold fee-simple title while constructing a brand new duplex facing the side street.
27:51 - The Subdivisions Math Trap: Why everyday land owners ask for "telephone numbers" for their large blocks without factoring in the $100,000+ cost required to physically subdivide the land.
28:37 - Transforming Your Feasibility: Why a standalone land split might only yield a poor 3% to 5% return, but adding a house build to the new lot can skyrocket your return on cost to 15% or 16%.

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.

Episode Highlights
00:24 - The Five Roadblocks: Hilary outlines the episode's core topics: the perfect time never arriving, headlines hijacking decisions, excuses of the era, the rocking chair test, and the role of education.
02:30 - Bob's Tip of the Week: You can stop spending money and you can stop making decisions, but the one thing you can absolutely never stop is getting older.
05:56 - Point 1: The Perfect Time Never Arrives: Why sitting back and waiting for the stars to perfectly align before starting your first project is a guaranteed path to doing nothing at all.
08:14 - Point 2: Headlines Hijack Decisions: How negative, clickbait media headlines sell fear and stop everyday people from taking calculated, life-changing risks in the property market.
12:23 - Point 3: Every Era Has Its Excuse: Whether it is high interest rates, changing governments, or rising build costs, Bob explains why there will always be a convenient excuse not to start.
17:47 - Point 4: The Rocking Chair Test: Hilary challenges listeners to picture themselves at 85 years old on a rocking chair, looking back at their lives—will you be filled with pride for taking a chance, or haunted by the "future of regret"?.
22:52 - Point 5: Education Gives Confidence, Not Guarantees: Why buying a course or finding a mentor will build your competence, but it is ultimately up to you to pull the trigger and take action.
29:21 - The 5-Day Challenge: Hilary announces an upcoming 5-Day Challenge designed to push aspiring developers off the sidelines and into action through daily, guided Facebook Live sessions.

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.

Episode Highlights
- 02:19 - Bob's Tip of the Week: "You are the CEO of your project." Why developers shouldn't get bogged down in the tools, but rather act as the orchestrator who coordinates the professionals.
- 04:06 - The Workshop Energy: Hilary reflects on the phenomenal atmosphere at their recent 3-day Gold Coast workshop and introduces Tom Evans’ incredible case study.
- 08:34 - The Margate Deal Breakdown: A deep dive into Tom's site—a 350-square-metre block in Margate, Queensland, bought for just $375,000.
- 10:48 - The Final Numbers: Revealing the feasibility results. With a Total Development Cost (TDC) of $1.268 million and gross sales of $1.875 million, Tom walked away with an incredible $607,000 profit on his first deal.
- 11:51 - A 52.6% Return on Cost: Bob explains why a 52% margin is massive, especially when banks typically only require a 15% to 20% margin to approve commercial finance.
- 14:14 - The Importance of Contingency: How Tom correctly utilized a 5% contingency to buffer unexpected costs, ensuring his feasibility remained rock solid throughout the build.
- 17:09 - Building the Dream Team: How Tom successfully leaned on his mentor, town planner, and finance broker to orchestrate the development, proving that you don't need to know everything if you hire the right team.
- 24:20 - Overcoming the Fear: Why beginners need to stop letting fear hold them back and realise that life-changing, $600k+ profits are entirely possible with the right education and action.

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.

Episode Highlights
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.

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!

Episode Highlights02:15 - Bob's Tip of the Week: When it comes to Easter eggs (and property deals), quality is far more important than quantity.
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.
11:12 - Reversing the Chase: How to build relationships with local real estate agents so they eventually start bringing the deals directly to you.
13:54 - Buyer's Agent Traps: How to avoid "experts" who just regurgitate https://www.google.com/search?q=realestate.com.au alerts , and why you need a buyer's agent who truly understands development feasibility and zoning.
21:49 - Direct-to-Vendor Tactics: The pros and cons of door-knocking (and why you usually just end up talking to renters) versus direct mail campaigns.
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.

06:03 - The Value of Education: Why the upfront cost of learning how to develop property is an exponential investment that pays off across every future project.
08:52 - The Biggest Threat to Your First Year: How daily life—work, family, and social events—steals your time and diminishes your focus on your development goals.
12:27 - The "Holiday Trap": Why taking a three-week holiday to Bali might feel good now, but won't change your life like completing your first property development will.
14:05 - The Two Roads of Development: Understanding the difference between starting with your own capital versus needing to find investors, and how the strategies differ.

20:59 - Assembling Your First Team: The crucial initial hires for a small subdivision or duplex, including a town planner, surveyor, and building designer.
26:13 - The Importance of Momentum: Why you must constantly look ahead and run tasks simultaneously (like applying for finance while finalising building approvals) to avoid costly delays.
28:30 - How to Manage Consultants: Bob's two rules for getting priority service—pay your invoices the day you get them, and be the professional "squeaky wheel" following up on promised deadlines.
33:18 - The $1,000/Day Delay: A real-life example of a childcare renovation where waiting on a police report was costing $1,000 a day in holding costs, and how taking decisive action saved the budget.

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.
32:01 - High ROI Design Tweaks: Why spending a little extra to increase ceiling heights from 2.4m to 2.7m (or even 3m) dramatically increases the feeling of spaciousness and buyer appeal.
35:38 - The Unbuildable Architect: The danger of hiring architects who design stunning buildings where the wet areas don't stack, making plumbing and construction prohibitively expensive.

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).

Episode Highlights:
01:04 - Bob's Tip of the Week: Why an experienced commercial finance broker is worth their weight in gold when you need to fund a project.
03:47 - The Broker Difference: Why you must use a commercial broker, not a retail broker, for property development finance.

09:05 - The Gatekeeper: Why the valuer's report is the single most important factor in a financier saying "yes" or "no."
14:22 - The Valuation Lottery: A crazy story showing how two different valuers from the exact same firm can provide wildly different valuations on the same project a week apart.
18:35 - Finding Solutions: How to salvage a deal when a valuation comes in slightly low (e.g., by securing a few extra pre-sales instead of adding more equity).
21:21 - Understanding Margins: Why financiers demand a certain profit margin (e.g., 15%) as a risk buffer, and how the non-bank sector adjusts these requirements to stay competitive.
28:17 - The "Lucky" Developer Myth: Why some inexperienced developers mistakenly think they are geniuses because a rising post-COVID market temporarily hid their terrible feasibility mistakes.
30:51 - Bob's Four-Hour Approval: A high-stakes story of a major financier pulling out right before settlement, and how Bob's meticulous paperwork allowed him to secure a new loan from a non-bank lender in just four hours.
38:55 - The Harsh Reality: The most common reason financiers say "no" is simply because the developer presented a "crap deal" based on a flawed feasibility study.

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.

06:20 - The "Hope Strategy": A cautionary tale of a developer who bought an 11% margin deal, hoping the market would lift it to the bank's required 15% (it didn't).
10:28 - Emotion vs Logic: How desperation causes developers to doctor their feasibility numbers, falsely inflating sale prices or artificially underestimating build costs.
14:42 - The "Field of Dreams" myth: Why "build it and they will come" does not work in property. You must research what the market actually demands.
16:44 - Managing time delays: How unexpected council holdups erode your profits through accumulated interest holding costs.

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.

Episode Highlight:01:54 – Bob’s Tip of the Week: A painful lesson in sun safety—not all sunblocks (or property deals) are created equal!
03:07 – What is a Margin? Bob defines the "Developer's Margin" (Return on Cost) as profit expressed as a percentage of total costs.
05:27 – The 20% Myth: Why the old "golden rule" of a 20% margin doesn't apply to every project, and how smaller, lower-risk deals can succeed with less.
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.

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.

In property development, the old saying "time is money" isn't just a cliché—it is the difference between a profitable project and a financial disaster. With holding costs accumulating every single day, how do you ensure your project stays on track, or better yet, finishes early?
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. Bob shares his strategies for managing consultants, explaining why choosing the cheapest surveyor might actually cost you more in the long run, and why you should treat your project management with the urgency of burning $50 notes. Whether you are battling council bottlenecks or managing frustrated investors, this episode provides the blueprint for keeping the ball rolling every single day.

Episode Highlight:01:54 – Bob’s Tip of the Week: Not all sunscreens are created equal! A painful lesson in choosing the right protection (much like choosing the right consultants).
04:38 – Mistake #1: Lack of Knowledge: Why you wouldn't fix a steam engine without knowing how it works, yet people jump into property development "on the hop."
08:11 – Bob’s Early Mistake: Thinking the market never changes. How Bob's first boom-time success led to overconfidence and a harsh lesson when the Gold Coast market turned.
12:14 – Mistake #2: Overconfidence & DIY: The danger of "luck" masquerading as a business plan, especially post-COVID, and why doing it all yourself is a trap.

In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary and Bob look ahead to the opportunities and challenges facing developers in 2026.

04:36 – The Market Movers: Bob identifies the three biggest factors impacting developers: Supply and Demand, Build Costs, and Interest Rates.

13:10 – Interest Rate Reality: Why a 1-2% interest rate rise has a minimal impact on a short-term development feasibility compared to the massive impact of sale price growth.
17:54 – Feasibility Rules: Bob’s golden rule: Do your feasibility on today’s numbers, not on what you hope the market will do tomorrow.
22:51 – Finance Outlook: Why there is plenty of money available in the commercial non-bank sector for profitable deals, even if retail banks are tight.
26:22 – 2026 Predictions: Bob predicts a "better than average" year, with stable build cost growth (approx. 4%) and strong opportunities in Victoria and South East Queensland.
28:33 – The Oversupply Myth: Why buying in an oversupplied market can actually be a smart move—because by the time you finish building in two years, the supply will likely have dried up.

They unpack the essential roles you need to fill—from the finance broker who sets your budget to the real estate agent who sells your vision. You'll discover why you are the most critical member of the team, how to vet consultants effectively, and why Bob's golden rule of hiring is "hire slowly, fire fast." Whether you are looking for a mentor to guide you or a builder to execute your plans, this episode provides the blueprint for assembling a squad that delivers results.

02:44 – The Orchestra Analogy: You are the conductor. Your job is to bring together specialists (architects, engineers, etc.) to create a masterpiece.

12:14 – The Finance Broker: The first person to hire. You need to know your borrowing capacity before you can even look at a site.

Finding the right people to fund your projects is one of the biggest hurdles for aspiring developers. Whether you are looking for a "boots on the ground" partner or a silent investor, choosing the wrong person can sink a deal faster than a bad build.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary and Bob look ahead to 2026, unpacking the strategies you need now to attract high-quality Joint Venture (JV) partners. They break down the critical difference between an Equity Partner (who shares the risk and profit) and a Loan Partner (who acts as the bank), and why knowing the difference is vital for your legal structure and profit margins.
Bob shares his "horror story" of a design-by-committee disaster where investors fought over bathroom tiles for four weeks, while Hilary reveals how a casual chat at the hairdresser turned into a potential business deal. From mastering the "two ears, one mouth" rule of networking to spotting the red flags of indecisive investors, this episode is your guide to building a capital-raising database that actually converts.

02:50 – The Definition: Unpacking the difference between an Equity Partner (on title, in the deal) and a Loan Partner (lends money for a return, not on title).
06:07 – The Golden Rule: Bob shares advice from an old Italian developer: "You never go broke making a profit." Don't be greedy; sometimes it's better to pay interest than share 50% of the upside.
17:31 – Finding Partners: How to build a database of investors before you even find a site so you aren't scrambling for cash later.
22:42 – The Networking Ratio: Why you have "two ears and one mouth"—the secret to attracting partners is listening twice as much as you speak.
29:13 – The Hairdresser Strategy: Hilary shares a real-life example of how a casual conversation in a salon chair turned into a lead by finding common ground.
34:41 – The "Hobby" Mindset: Why you need to talk about property development with the same casual enthusiasm as golf or fishing to normalise it and peak interest.
49:44 – The Money Question: The one question you must ask early to weed out time-wasters (and why avoiding it is a red flag).
52:42 – Bob’s Horror Story: The 5-storey apartment project where 6 investors had design input, leading to a $20,000, four-week argument over bathroom tiles.

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.

In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary tackle the topic of "Lost Opportunities."

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.
We also revisit the incredible story of Kyle, the "accidental developer," who was forced to pivot from a simple 2-lot subdivision into a life-changing 13-lot project. Whether it’s listening to your gut instinct during due diligence or knowing when to push for more density, this episode reveals how to turn a change of plans into a competitive advantage.

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.
In this solo episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Sacks dives deep into the psychology of success. 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.

Property development is often sold as a straightforward path to wealth, but what happens when the market turns, a builder goes broke, or a global pandemic shuts down your site? While "easy wins" build confidence, it's the hard lessons that build character and true resilience.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary get real about the highs and lows of a development career. They share candid stories of persistence paying off, like chipping away at a deal for 18 months, and contrast it with an incredible "windfall" deal that seemed too good to be true.

Many property investors see a site with a Development Approval (DA) as a finished deal. You either take it or leave it. But what if the approved DA is unprofitable, poorly designed, or simply the wrong product for the market? Most developers walk away, but the smart ones see an opportunity.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary dive deep into the world of DAs, revealing a powerful strategy: buying sites with flawed approvals and transforming them. You'll learn the crucial difference between a minor amendment and lodging a new application, why councils get sensitive about the "outside box" but are often flexible with internal layouts, and how Bob added an ensuite and a third bathroom to a 7-townhouse project, dramatically increasing its rental return and value. This episode is a must-listen for any developer who wants to learn how to find hidden value where others only see a bad plan.

Choosing your path to wealth is the turning point that separates short-term earners from long-term builders. While many are drawn to the high salaries of FIFO work, they often get stuck trading time for money without a clear exit strategy. Hesitation to build something for the future not only costs time, but it can also cost you the opportunity to create lasting freedom. In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob and Hilary tackle the big question: FIFO vs. property development.
They reveal how a high-paying job can be a powerful launchpad, not a lifelong sentence. They dive into the mindset shifts needed to use FIFO strategically, how to manage your first project remotely, and why development is the key to creating true financial security. You’ll also hear the real success story of Ross, who turned his FIFO job into the funding for a multi-townhouse project, completely changing his life. Whether you’re currently in a FIFO role or looking for a way to fund your first deal, this episode will help you create a clear plan to build the future you really want.

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

They cover the critical role of zoning, how to distinguish between a “good” and a “great” site, and the importance of profit margins as your safety net.

Quality control is often the silent make-or-break factor in property development. While most developers focus on finance, design, and approvals, the real test comes down to whether the build itself meets professional standards. Small errors left unchecked during construction can snowball into expensive and time-consuming issues later.
In this episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Bob speaks with Eric Korn from handovers.com. They cover the full scope of building inspections, why developers should consider engaging inspectors from the earliest stages, and the most common faults found on projects. Whether you’re managing a townhouse development or building your first duplex, the lessons here will help you avoid costly surprises and deliver a quality product.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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”.

Choosing the right builder for your property development project is crucial for success. The builder you select will play a significant role in determining the outcome of your project, so it is essential to make a careful and informed decision.

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. They emphasize the key components that should be included and the reasons behind having one as well as the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone for growth and success.

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.

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!

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.
In this week’s episode Bob and Property Mastermind Mentor Aaron Ralph discuss how to develop commercial projects.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.
In order for these professionals to do their job well, clear and effective, communication is necessary. 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. They also mention the need to provide specific details and direction to professionals based on market research and buyer preferences. So if you are looking to learn how to communicate effectively and want to boost your chances of success, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode.

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 starting property development you may be interested in working with investors. But how do you even do that? Where do you even start? There are two factors that will help you become attracted to investors allowing you to seal that first deal!
To attract investors competence and confidence is crucial. You must know what you are talking about when searching for an investor. If you are pulling their chain, not really knowing what you’re talking about they will not be interested in working with you. Not only is it important to know your stuff but you also must show the confidence that you know what you are doing.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary discuss how to attract investors for your property development. They discuss the importance of education and competence in attracting investors, emphasising the need for practical experience, knowledge, and skills. Bob and Hilary highlight that competence is a continuous process of learning and improvement, and that staying updated with the latest trends and seeking growth opportunities is crucial. So if you are in the market for investors but not really sure how to get them to invest with you, you won’t want to miss this week's episode!

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. It is also important to check in with yourself and your goals to make sure you are staying on track because with consistency and small changes, you can achieve great things! So if you are looking to improve your mindset and wanting to strive for consistency, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

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:
Approval stage: Not getting the approval or not getting the approval you originally wanted.
Delivery stage: Not being able to get the build price you're after or the builder going broke.
Exit stage: Not being able to sell your development for what you wanted.
In this week's podcast episode, Hilary and Bob speak on the topic of "Are Property Development Sites Stacking Up?". They explore the reasons why some may believe they are and why others may think they aren’t. They also provide their opinion on the matter and offer insights that listeners may find exciting! So if you are looking to stack up but not sure whether to dive in, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!

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!

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 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!

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!

Choosing the right mentor or coach is an important step in any property development journey. It is essential to select experienced mentors who have a proven track record in the industry and can provide the necessary guidance and support to help you reach your goals.
When selecting a mentor, it is important to ask questions to ensure that they have the right experience and qualifications to help you. You should ask questions such as: How long have they been in the business? What qualifications do they have? What is their experience in the property development sector? What successes have they achieved in the past? And it’s also important to look for mentors who have a good understanding of the industry and the challenges that come with it.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary discuss an unbiased approach to choosing a property development mentor. They explain the differences between coaching and mentoring and how one person can effectively do both but how it’s also important to have the right training and experience for this kind of role. So if you’re ready to start searching for that perfect mentor but not sure what you should look out for, 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!

Yet again we are sharing another success story from past mentoring students! It’s always a great teaching tool to hear stories from those who have gone down the same path you are looking to follow. It may not always be sunshine and rainbows but it’s important to always stay positive and learn from your mistakes but also to learn from your success!
These mentoring students went from a few failed projects to successful developers. They both share different strengths that together make them a great team.They discuss the model for replicating deals that they have developed, which involves them using their own funds to secure a deal and inviting investors to join in the opportunity. They also talk about how it is important to have a good team in place when developing remotely, and how the easiest project to do is the one closest to where you live.
In this week's episode, Bob and Hillary are joined by Jamie and Casey Stone from Alpha 2 Developments. They discuss their journey from investing in a few projects, to renovating and eventually developing their own projects. They talk about some of the biggest issues they have had to overcome in the last two years and how they overcome those obstacles.So tune in to this week’s episode and learn all the do’s and don’ts the Stones have overcome!

Property values fluctuate for a variety of reasons, from economic recessions to rising interest rates. It is important to understand the factors that can cause these fluctuations so that property owners can make informed decisions about their investments.
The most common cause of property value fluctuations is an economic recession. When the economy enters a recession, people tend to be more cautious with their spending, which can lead to a decrease in property values. 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.

Before jumping into something new it’s always a great idea to hear from those who have achieved the same goals that you are looking to achieve. It helps reassure you that you can do anything you set your mind to and others are also doing the same things. It gives you the opportunity to pick their brains and find out what worked and didn’t work so you don't have to make those same mistakes!
In this week's episode we are sharing a success story from a past mentoring couple. We interview John and Tas on their property development journey and how the mentoring program has helped them be successful.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

When beginning your development, there are many of questions to ask. Will these trees play a factor in to my property development plans? Will the sewage or underground mines affect me progressing with my development?

Always make sure to have a full report so you can make sure there will be no issues when breaking ground on your development. It’s better to know upfront what factors could play a role in your development and potentially walk away if they are not worth it versus going forward with a project that could cost you more than it’s worth.

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.

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.

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?

[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.
