We have built quite a reputation in helping to kick start peoples Property Development careers, or lift the trajectory for those already on their way. Having seen a number of our members leave their day jobs to transition to full time Property Development, and a hell of a lot more that are well on their way. Having said that, the group is not just for beginners, we have a number of long time developers in the group at the bigger end of town also with everyone able to gain from the collective experience of the group.
Our meetings typically consist 3 distinct section, an Industry Expert, a Real Deal & finally a Masterminding process.
Our Industry Experts are people that you will need in your property development team, with them giving guidance and advise on the relevant topic of the month. In the past we have had Town Planners, Civil Engineers, Property Lawyers, Accountants, Architects, University Lecturers, Project Managers, Experienced Developers, Property Managers, Financial Planners, Valuers, Brisbane City Council, Surveyors, Commercial Lenders & more. These experts love helping those with a thirst for knowledge and an attitude to succeed and we have been blessed with the quality of these speakers who keep lining up wanting to present at our group.
The Real Deals allow you to learn from projects that others have done within our group. Learn from their experience, success' and mistakes before you do it yourself. You get to see warts and all what went right, what went wrong and the profit that was able to be achieved out to the deal. There is nothing better than seeing the real thing to know that you can do the same for yourself.
We typically finish with a Mastermind process, with each person able to seek assistance from the collective knowledge of the group in how to overcome any current obstacles. Sometimes your problem might be as simple as not knowing where to start, or how to learn the development process, whilst other times it might be as complex as a specific problem that you are having withing your current deal. Either way, the group is here to help, with all of us moving forward as a result.
OH - And we always kick on socially after the event for a few beverages so please make sure you have plenty of time to hang around and mingle with your peers.
Welcome aboard, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

Building Construction Contracts Masterclass! AJ & Co Lawyers (Lionel Diao)Your Building Contract Looks Fine. But Does it Really Protect You?
You’ve found the site. The numbers stack up. You’re ready to build.
Then comes the building contract.
Many mum-and-dad developers assume MBA and HIA contracts are the safest way to go. But are these standard contracts actually suited to the risks and complexities of property development?
Because building a development isn’t the same as building your own home.
The wrong contract could leave you exposed to costly variations, disputes, delays and unexpected financial pressure that can eat into your profit.
So, are you signing a contract that protects your interests? Or one that could leave you vulnerable when things don’t go to plan?
And what alternatives should property developers be considering?
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Lionel Diao from AJ & Co Lawyers will unpack why MBA and HIA building contracts may not be the best option for property developers and explore what alternatives you should consider.
You’ll gain insights into:
• Why special conditions can override standard contract terms
• How variations, provisional sums and delays can blow out your budget
• The critical deadlines you can’t afford to miss
• A practical process to manage contract risks before construction beginsMost importantly, you’ll gain a better understanding of how your building contract could affect your risk, your cash flow and your bottom line.
Because a profitable development isn't just about getting the build right. It's about getting the contract right before you start.
This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!
See you all soon!
