INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Manage & Market Right To Maximise Returns (Guardian Property Specialists – Roy Raed Halabi)

Think Your Property Manager Is “Handling It”? Think Again…

Most investors are flying blind when it comes to managing their properties thinking that once the build is complete, they can just hand over the keys to a property manager and let the cash flow roll in. But here’s the cold, hard truth: that kind of thinking is costing you money.

The real problem? A fundamental misunderstanding of what a great property manager actually does and what you, as a developer or investor, should be doing to ensure your project performs long after it’s finished. Add to that the mistaken belief that simply listing your off-the-plan development will attract buyers, and you’ve got a recipe for extended vacancy, poor yields, and slow sales.

Are you getting quality tenants or just anyone who can fog a mirror and pay rent? Is your manager actively working to maximise your return, or just ticking boxes? And when it comes to selling your project are you relying on luck and hope, or do you have a strategic, tested marketing plan that creates demand before completion?

If any of that made you pause, then you need to be at this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup. We’re Roy Raed Halabi the Industry Expert with years of experience in property management and project marketing, someone who knows exactly what it takes to protect and grow your investment from the ground up will show you:

- What separates a high-performing property manager from the average rent collector
- The critical design decisions to make before you build if you plan to hold the asset
- How to attract quality tenants who treat your property like their own
- The key steps to a successful off-the-plan marketing strategy that gets your project sold fast and profitably

Whether you're looking to build and hold for long-term wealth, or sell down and move onto the next project, this presentation will give you the practical tools and industry insights you’re not getting anywhere else.

This is not theory. This is real-world experience, from someone who’s been in the trenches and knows what works.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
Duplex (Tery Cui)

720m2, R2, South Coast, New South Wales

The Hidden Pitfalls of a “Simple” Duplex Project

On the surface, it looked like a textbook duplex development CDC-compliant, straightforward, and profitable. But as Terry Cui quickly discovered, even the “simplest” projects can unravel fast when key risks are missed in the early stages.

What seemed like a dream deal became a crash course in managing unexpected challenges:

Flood-affected land meant the entire block had to be raised by one metre, a major hit to both the timeline and the budget. Slab system dilemma:

Choosing a suspended Bondek slab over a traditional bearer and joist system added layers of complexity, construction delays, and additional costs. Sales struggles: Once complete, the project faced a soft market with stiff competition. Nearly every site in the area was duplex-ready under CDC, saturating the market and slowing down sales.

This month at the Property Developer Network Meetup, Terry will take you behind the scenes of his Real Deal to show exactly how quickly a “sure thing” can spiral and more importantly, what he did about it.

He’ll walk you through:
- The early warning signs he missed during due diligence
- The true cost of building on flood-prone land (spoiler: it’s more than just dirt and concrete)
- Smarter ways to approach design and construction decisions that can make or break your margins
- Why understanding your end market is just as critical as buying the site right

If you're serious about becoming a savvier developer, one who learns from the mistakes of others instead of making them yourself, this is one session you can't afford to miss. Real mistakes. Real lessons. Real growth.
