About us
Started in 2012, Property Developer Network runs monthly education and networking events in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane to assist you on your Property Development journey. We also run online support groups, formal education & mentoring programs, have access to massive discounts from a ton of suppliers & much much more.
The intent of the monthly events is to bring together the collective experience, thoughts and ideas of like minded individuals to assist each other to achieving our goals in Property Development. Our unique format caters from absolute novices to full time professionals with something to cater for every level of experience.

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 (Sydney time)INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Mastering Risk in Prefab Construction! Kreisson (David Glinnatsis)You’ve found a great development opportunity. The numbers stack. You’re ready to get building…
Then something goes wrong.
A prefabricated component doesn’t fit.
A defect appears.
The builder says it’s the manufacturer’s problem. The manufacturer says it’s the builder’s problem.
And suddenly, you’re caught in the middle.
What looked like a faster, more efficient way to build can quickly turn into delays, disputes, unexpected costs and questions about who is actually responsible.
Here’s the truth:
Prefabrication and modular construction can change the risk profile of your development
And when something goes wrong, the traditional assumptions about defects, liability, insurance and recovery may not work the way you expect.
That’s why you need to hear from David Glinatsis from Kreisson.
In this session, you’ll discover:
• How prefabrication and modular construction changes risk and liability
• Who is responsible when defects occur
• How manufacturer liability can impact your ability to recover losses
• What developers need to know about decennial insurance
• How disputes can arise between developers, builders and manufacturers
• What the new NSW building reforms mean for developersAnd most importantly…
How to understand where the risk ultimately settles when things don’t go to plan.
Because it’s not just about building differently…
It’s about understanding your risk before you commit to it.
Don’t miss this session! It could save you from discovering too late that the problem you thought belonged to someone else… ends up on your balance sheet.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
From Vacant Car Lot to 44-Room Boarding House: A Buy-and-Hold Blueprint (Nigel Archer)
44-Room New Generation Boarding House | 1,290sqm Commercial site | Beresfield, Newcastle NSW | Purchased for $360,000Spotted it driving past — turning a derelict used car lot into a 44-room income asset
Built to hold, not flip — a long-term buy-and-hold strategy designed for sustainable cash flow
Weathered the storm — navigating rain delays, soil issues and variations to deliver a fully-leased, income-generating property
Ever driven past a run-down site and thought "there's something in this"? That's exactly how Nigel Archer's journey with this deal began — a vacant used car lot in Beresfield, Newcastle that most people would have driven straight past.
Nigel turned that instinct into a 44-room New Generation Boarding House, purchased for just $360,000 on a 1,290sqm commercial block. But this wasn't a quick flip — from day one, the strategy was to build a long-term, income-producing asset: complete the construction, secure full occupancy, and use the rental cash flow to progressively pay down debt.
Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing. Rain delays, soil issues and variations tested the project along the way — but Nigel pushed through to Occupation Certificate, full leasing, and a genuinely income-generating asset.
Come hear how Nigel identified the opportunity, executed the build, and transitioned it into an operating asset — plus what he's doing next with a DA-approved 32-room project and a 50+ room co-living site in the pipeline.
What the Session Will Cover:
-How Nigel identified an on-market opportunity simply by driving past
Assessing a commercial-zoned site for a boarding house conversion/development
-Navigating construction hurdles: weather delays, soil issues and variations
The path from Occupation Certificate to full leasing and stabilised income
-Why Nigel chose a buy-and-hold strategy over a resale, and how that shaped his decisionsWhat's next: scaling from a 44-room project to a 50+ room co-living development
Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!
See you all soon!
