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.

Deal Killers in Development Contracts! Tuckfields Conveyancing (Samantha Phillips)
How many property developments get into trouble before construction has even started?
For many developers, the biggest risks aren't the obvious ones. They're buried in contracts, finance clauses, due diligence, subdivision applications, easements, settlement dates and legal details that seem minor at the time but can end up costing months of delays or tens of thousands of dollars.
The reality is that most developments don't fail because of one major mistake. They fail because of a series of small issues that could have been identified and managed from the very beginning.
At this month's Property Developer Network Meetup, Samantha Phillips from Tuckfields Conveyancing will share eight real-life deal killers she regularly sees in property development transactions. Through practical case studies, she'll explain how developers can avoid costly setbacks before they happen.
In this presentation, you'll discover:
• Why the purchase contract is the foundation of every successful development.
• The contract clauses that are commonly overlooked and how they can put your project at risk.
• How to structure finance and timing clauses to better suit your development.
• Why thorough due diligence can save you from expensive surprises later.
• How incorrect subdivision applications can create "death by delay."
• What you need to understand about easements, encumbrances and by-laws before you buy.
• The risks hidden in off-the-plan contracts and how to build in the right safety nets.
• How to avoid settlement surprises caused by missing documentation, delayed approvals and title issues.If you're a mum-and-dad property developer who wants to reduce risk, protect your profit and avoid mistakes that could have been prevented from day one, this is a presentation you won't want to miss.
Join us and learn how to identify the hidden deal killers before they derail your next development.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 Into 2 Subdivision (Antony Carpena)
722m2, Grange, South AustraliaWhat if your next development could create long-term wealth not just a quick profit?
The truth is...
The most successful developments aren't just about buying the right site. They're about structuring the deal correctly from day one.
With the right strategy, you can secure planning approvals before settlement, minimise unnecessary costs, and create opportunities that simply aren't available to developers who follow the traditional path.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Antony Carpena will reveal how a strategic delayed settlement, creative implementation of legal documentation, and careful planning allowed him to get a head start on approvals, avoid additional stamp duty, and secure his own homesite at below market value.
Antony will share:
· How a delayed settlement gave him a valuable head start
· Why the right JV agreement and supporting documentation saved significant stamp duty
· How selling one dwelling early helped create long-term value
· The planning and subdivision delays that impacted the project mid-way
· The lessons learned navigating council and bank approvalsThis is a genuine, behind-the-scenes case study that demonstrates how smart planning, the right professional team, and a well-structured deal can create opportunities that many developers never realise are possible.
If you're looking to structure your next development more strategically, reduce unnecessary costs, and learn from a developer who's been through the process firsthand, this is one Real Deal presentation you won't want to miss.
Push your journey forward and come in-person to network with like-minded Developers!
See you all soon!
