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.

In-Person: 1:30pm (Melbourne time) to 'Mingle With The Expert'
Virtual: 2pm (Melbourne time)INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Finance Secrets Smart Developers Use! AUSUN Finance (Thomas Tang)You’ve found a great site.
The numbers work.
Then the finance falls apart.
The loan gets declined.
Conditions change midway through the deal.
Settlement gets delayed.
Or worse… the project never happens at all.
For many small-to-medium developers, the biggest risk isn’t finding the deal… it’s getting the finance right.
And most people make the same mistakes:
Using inexperienced brokers, approaching the wrong lenders, presenting deals poorly, or not understanding how lenders actually assess development projects.
That’s why we’re excited to have Thomas Tang from AUSUN Finance joining us as our next Industry Expert at Property Developer Network.
Thomas specialises in Construction & Development Finance and has been involved in funding countless development projects across the country. As a second-generation developer with one of the highest lending volumes nationally, Thomas understands exactly how lenders think, how brokers and bankers operate behind the scenes, and what developers need to do to position themselves correctly in today’s market.
In this presentation, Thomas will break down:
• What lenders are REALLY looking for right now
• Why deals get delayed, declined, or repriced
• The biggest mistakes developers make when applying for finance
• How to build long-term relationships with the right lenders and brokers
• What you can do immediately to improve your chances of funding successBecause in today’s market… the developers who understand finance are the ones still getting deals done.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 4 Townhouses (Helen Shao)
1042m2, NRZ, Boroondara, VictoriaYou’ve finally secured a development site.
Council approvals are underway.
The builder is ready to go.
Then the market shifts.
Town planning drags on for months.
Uncertainty kicks in.
And suddenly you’re left wondering…
“Do I push ahead… or wait?”
For many small-to-medium developers, knowing when to move — and when to hold back — can make or break a project.
That’s why we’re excited to have Helen Shao joining us to share her latest Real Deal project at Property Developer Network.
Using a delayed settlement strategy to secure the site, Helen navigated the uncertainty of the Covid-19 period while managing lengthy town planning delays and carefully timing the start of construction as the market stabilised.
In this Real Deal presentation, Helen will walk you through the realities of managing a development during uncertain market conditions, including:
• How delayed settlement helped secure the opportunity
• The impact Covid had on planning and timing
• Lessons learned through lengthy approval delays
• How the project stayed on track during construction
• What she would do differently next timeIf you’ve ever wondered how experienced developers adapt when the market throws curveballs at them… this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.
This is your chance to talk property with other enthusiasts!
See you all soon!
