INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:

Avoid Costly Blunders with Smart Inspections! MPF Inspection Group (Michael Silverstein)

Hidden defects don’t show up in listings or on site until it’s too late. Whether you’re buying, investing, flipping, or building new, one missed inspection can turn a good deal into a money pit.

A disciplined inspection process is your best protection. Michael Silverstein, a registered builder, will show you exactly what to check at every stage and how to avoid costly surprises before you sign, pour, or hand over.

This month, Michael will cover:
• What to look for at each stage from pre-purchase to pre-handover—to catch issues early
• How to tailor inspections for your strategy owner-occupier, investment, flip, knockdown, or new build
• The high-cost defects that quietly kill deals and how to spot them
• The myths that mislead buyers and how to verify what really matters on site

Learn the inspection game plan that protects your budget, timeline, and peace of mind.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:

1 into 2 Subdivision (Amber Sun)
973m2, NRZ, Wantirna, Victoria

For many small-scale developers, the dream is simple: buy, subdivide, build, and sell. But anyone who’s actually walked that path knows it rarely plays out that smoothly. Council requirements, trade shortages, unexpected costs, and market shifts can easily throw a spanner in the works and if you’re not prepared, those hurdles can quickly eat into your profit.

That’s exactly the rollercoaster our Real Deal speaker, Amber Sun, had to navigate. On the upside, she had a smooth run with council approvals, zero neighbour objections, and smart moves like locking in street numbers early to boost resale value. She also scored a major win with dual PPR exemptions wiping out land tax completely.

But it wasn’t all wins. Amber kicked off her renovation right in the middle of Covid lockdowns when trades were scarce, material selection was a nightmare, and cabinetry shipments from China were delayed. Add in a builder who grew harder to manage as the project neared completion, plus a longer-than-expected sales campaign, and the journey became a real test of patience and persistence.

At this month’s meetup, Amber will take you behind the scenes of her project and share with you:

• All the wins
• The setbacks
• The lessons learned
• How she managed the challenges
• Where she could have saved time and money
• The key takeaways you can apply to your own developments

If you want to learn what really happens when theory meets reality, this is a Real Deal you won’t want to miss. This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!

See you all soon!
