Are you ready to make the most of the opportunities?

There is no doubt that we are currently facing some enormous economic challenges worldwide.

What does this all mean when it comes to developing property?

Well, there are some facts that are painfully clear in the current Australian market:

  • There is a chronic shortage of housing
  • Demand is outstripping supply because of increased immigration, more births and more divorces,
  • The rental market, particularly in Sydney, is at an all time critical stage with vacancy rates below 2% and rents going through the roof.
  • Residential building activity is at “its lowest levels since 2006” (Source: HIA)
  • Approvals for residential construction are also  showing  “continuance in its downward trend” (Source: HIA)

Put simply, we have a growing population and a housing market that is not keeping up with the growth.

As a result, there are some outstanding opportunities in the current market that can be capitalised upon whether you are acquiring property or selling for redevelopment

Of course you would only enter the market with the ability to make educated and informed decisions about potential acquisitions and therefore keep your risk to a minimum. Now is the time to arm yourself with the right information and knowledge about Property Development. Remember, you make your profit when you acquire

The Property market works in cycles. You need to know at what stage of the property development cycle the market is in and when you should be developing. If you have ever wanted to enter the property development industry and have hesitated, this is probably the best time to educate yourself.

Put Yourself in the Property Developer’s shoes!

This course has been designed from experience for new and potential property developers and those who are in the property/real estate industry and deal closely with developers, e.g. financiers, consultants, builders, and suppliers.

The course has been specifically designed in a workshop format which means that you are not continually being lectured, but you are actively involved in the learning process through participation. Information is shared openly (the good, the bad and the ugly!) by industry professionals with many years experience; invaluable information which will no doubt save you potentially thousands on your project.

The primary objective of this property development course is to provide you with a working knowledge of property development so that when you leave after 3 days, you will be able to:

  • source suitable development sites
  • conduct your own preliminary feasibility analysis
  • minimize risk when acquiring sites through options and joint ventures
  • understand the role of building consultants and maximizing their expertise
  • confidently work through the Development Process with the right professionals to obtain Council Approval
  • find the right builder for your project
  • manage risks at every stage of the development process
  • procure the right finance
  • develop exit strategies
  • and much much more
This is a real course with solid real world content presented by people with solid practical experience in the field who will pass on that knowledge of the strategies you need to know and not just another "seminar" aimed at getting you to invest in one of the presenter's schemes. Check the course content and judge for yourself.

The numbers for this ‘must do’ course are strictly limited and will be booked on a first in first served basis. Be sure not to miss out on the early bird and group bookings offers!
