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.

Virtual: 2pm (Melbourne time)INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
The Real Cost of Greenfield Sites! Precinct Land Consultants (Quok Ho)Think buying a greenfield site is the hard part? Think again.
One of the biggest mistakes developers make is assuming that essential infrastructure is already there or that connecting to it will be simple. The reality is that a lack of planning around sewer, stormwater, water, electricity and telecommunications can quickly turn a profitable project into one plagued by unexpected costs, lengthy delays and approval headaches.
It gets even more challenging if you're the first developer in a new precinct. Suddenly, you're not just delivering infrastructure for your own project you could be responsible for extending services that future developments will rely on. If you don't understand your obligations from the outset, you could be facing significant costs that weren't in your feasibility.
At this month's Property Developer Network Meetup, Quok Ho from Precinct Land Consultants will explain how infrastructure is planned, sequenced and delivered in greenfield developments, and why getting it right from day one is critical to the success of your project.
In this practical presentation, you'll discover:
• How infrastructure is planned and installed throughout a greenfield development.
• The additional costs, responsibilities and risks faced by the first developer in a new precinct.
• The differences between extending new infrastructure and connecting to existing services.
• Why infrastructure capacity planning is essential not just for your project, but for future developments.
• How to assess the capacity of sewer, stormwater, water, electricity and telecommunications networks.
• The common mistakes that lead to expensive redesigns, delays and unexpected infrastructure upgrades.
• Which consultants, utility providers and authorities you should engage, and when to bring them into your project.
• How early planning can improve project feasibility, reduce risk and avoid costly surprises.If you're considering a greenfield development or want to avoid being caught out by hidden infrastructure costs, this presentation will provide practical knowledge that could save you significant time, money and frustration.
Join us and learn how to plan smarter, reduce risk and deliver infrastructure that supports not only your current project, but future growth as well.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
Duplex (Susannah Su)
720m2, Blackburn North, VictoriaWhat happens when you buy at the top of the market... complete the project on time... and still make no profit?
The truth is...
Not every development ends with a big payday.
Sometimes, the most valuable projects are the ones that expose your biggest mistakes before they become even more expensive on your next deal. Too many developers assume the market will keep rising, underestimate how much cash they'll need, or rush into a purchase without completing proper due diligence. When the market turns, those mistakes can quickly wipe out your profit.
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Susannah Su will share the honest story behind one of her most challenging development projects in this month's Real Deal presentation.
After purchasing the site at the highest price on the street, Susannah successfully completed the project on time. But by the time construction was finished, the market had slumped, leaving the project with no profit.
Susannah will share:
• Why buying in a booming market doesn't guarantee a successful outcome
• The importance of having an exit strategy before you buy
• How running short of cash nearly derailed the project
• Why thorough due diligence is critical before committing to any site
• The key lessons she now applies to every development she undertakesThis is a genuine, behind-the-scenes case study. No sugar-coating.
No inflated success story. Just the real challenges, costly mistakes, and invaluable lessons that every property developer can learn from.If you want to avoid the mistakes that catch so many developers out and build a more resilient development business, this is one Real Deal presentation you won't want to miss.
This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!
See you all soon!
