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 sections, 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, 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, successes 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 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.

Virtual: 2pm (Adelaide time)INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Before you pay that progress claim! House Inspect Australia (Litsa Adamou)Are You Letting Build Quality Quietly Kill Your Profits?
You’ve locked in the site. The plans are approved. Construction has started…
Everything looks like it’s on track.
Then the issues start creeping in.
Defects you didn’t see.
Workmanship that doesn’t meet the standard.
Corners cut you only discover when it’s too late.
What should have been a clean, profitable project turns into rework, delays, and a finished product that’s… not quite right.
And here’s the truth:
Most mum and dad developers don’t lose money because of the deal…They lose it during the build because they don’t have the right quality control in place.
So what do most people do?
They Google what to look for.
They assume the builder has it covered.
Or they accept issues they shouldn’t.
That’s exactly why you need to hear from Litsa Adamou from House Inspect Australia.
In this session, you’ll discover:
• The 5 critical inspection stages from footings to practical completion
• What to look for at each stage (before small issues become big ones)
• Where defects commonly occur during construction
• How poor workmanship impacts your end value and long-term asset
• The biggest mistakes developers make when trying to manage quality themselvesAnd most importantly…
How bringing in an independent inspector can protect your project, your margins, and your reputation.
Don’t miss this session! It could be the difference between a high-quality asset… and an expensive lesson.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
𝟣 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝟨 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴 (𝘉𝘦𝘤 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘯 & 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘴)
𝟪𝟦𝟢𝘮𝟤, 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩, 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢One Site. Six Townhouses. Six-Figure Lessons.
You’ve found a strong site. The numbers stack up. The strategy works. Time to move forward.
Then reality sets in. Build costs rise. Settlement delays threaten the deal. Selling pressure mounts. The quickest decision can feel like the safest but what if it costs you serious profit?
If you’ve ever wondered why some developers move with confidence while others hesitate, you’re not alone.
That’s exactly what 𝗕𝗲𝗰 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 and 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀 discovered on their first 𝟭 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝟲 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 development. They invested in education before they invested in the site. They knew what to look for, how to run the feasibility, and how to act fast when the right
opportunity appeared.They had also built a strong team around them, making the application process smoother and the project easier to deliver. They secured the site, partnered with the right builder, and are on track to complete ahead of schedule.
But it wasn’t without lessons. Build costs increased. Purchasing through a trust delayed settlement and nearly cost them the deal. Selling too early may have left an extra $156,000 on the table.
In this session, Bec and Fraser will walk you through:
• Why education gave them confidence to act
• How knowing the numbers secured the right site
• Why the right team made the process smoother
• The mistakes they would never repeat
• How selling too early can wipe out profit
• Real lessons from a real deal in today’s marketIf you’re planning your first project or want to avoid expensive mistakes, this session will sharpen your thinking.
Practical. Honest. Packed with lessons you can apply to your next deal.
Push your journey forward and come in-person to network with like-minded Developers!
See you all soon!
