Property Mastermind Podcast with Bob Andersen & Hilary Saxton

  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!  Episode Highlights:   Introduction to Property Development Profits [02:02] Real-Life Example: Liam Nagle's First Development [02:57] Understanding Profit Variables in Property Development [04:12] Two-Lot Subdivisions: Profit and Timeframe [06:06] Duplexes and Two-Lot Subdivisions with Houses [09:45] Profit Margins and Return on Cost [14:06] Four to Eight Townhouses: Profit and Time Efficiency [16:21] Staging Projects and Reducing Debt [24:57] Comparing Townhouses and Apartment Blocks [23:36] Financing and Feasibility in Staged Projects [25:08] Conclusion: The Potential of Property Development [26:06] Final Thoughts and Contact Information [28:39] About Hilary Saxton: Hilary Saxton is a performance and mindset strategist who motivates, trains, and coaches people who crave knowledge and success in their property and business life.

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.

In this week’s episode, Hilary and Bob talk about how to create an information memorandum. They emphasise 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.    An information memorandum (IM) is a crucial document for property investors / developers. IM’s serve as a comprehensive guide that provide 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.   So if you’re looking to attract investors for your property project, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode!    Resources:  To speak with us directly, click here: https://www.propertymastermind.com.au/schedule-an-appointment/ Episode Highlights:   Purpose of an Information Memorandum  [04:30] Types and Lengths of Information Memorandums [05:28] Components of a Basic Information Memorandum [07:52]   Disclaimer and Legal Information [09:18]   Visual Presentation Tips  [12:14] Investor Information  [18:58]  Property and Area Information [23:06] Market Information [25:14] Digital vs. Hard Copy Information Memorandums [28:04] Final Thoughts on Information Memorandums [34:06] About Hilary Saxton: Hilary Saxton is a performance and mindset strategist who motivates, trains, and coaches people who crave knowledge and success in their property and business life.

Finance for property development can be a complex and confusing topic for many property developers or investors. It’s important to understand the differences between property developing and property investing when it comes to finance.

They may be familiar with obtaining loans for their primary residence or investment properties, where serviceability is a key factor in determining loan approval.

They highlight the common confusion 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.

Scarcity in property development is a significant issue that is currently affecting the housing market. The demand for dwellings, whether it be houses, apartments, or land for building, is far exceeding the supply. This scarcity is creating challenges for property developers, both experienced and new, as they navigate the competitive and rapidly changing landscape of the real estate market.   One of the key aspects of property development is creating dwellings for people to live in. Whether it is through renovating existing properties, subdividing land, or building new homes, property developers play a crucial role in meeting the housing needs of the population. However, with the national shortage of dwellings, developers are facing increasing pressure to deliver quality housing in a timely manner.   In this week’s episode, Hilary and Bob discuss the future of property development. They reflect on what's working, what's not, and how to prepare for the future. They touch on the importance of due diligence, sharing a personal incident where neglecting this led to significant fines.
