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:
Spotting Failure Before It's To Late! KPMG (Amanda Coneyworth)Your property development looks profitable.
But what happens when the money runs out?
You’ve found the site. The numbers stack up. Your project is underway
Then costs blow out. Funding gets tight. Your lender wants answers, and suddenly you need more capital to get the project across the line. The deal that looked so promising is now putting your money, your timeline and your profits at risk.
Many mum-and-dad developers assume they can simply inject more money, secure additional funding or find a way through. But what if the shortfall is bigger than expected? What if your forecasts are wrong, or your lender takes control of critical decisions?
Because when a development comes under financial pressure, the decisions you make and how quickly you act can determine whether you save the project, restructure your finances or face a forced sale
So, would you recognise the warning signs before your project becomes a financial crisis? And would you know what options are available to protect your investment?
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Amanda Coneyworth from KPMG will present Property Deals Under Pressure: How to Spot Trouble Early and Preserve Your Options.
You’ll gain insights into:
· The early warning signs that your development is heading into financial trouble
· What good financial reporting looks like and how to understand your true financial position
· What happens when funding runs out or additional capital is needed
· Your options to rescue, restructure or exit a struggling project
· Common mistakes that can destroy value and limit your options
· What to consider before entering a money partner arrangementMost importantly, you’ll learn how to stress-test your project’s finances, assess your remaining funding and identify potential problems before your options narrow.
Because successful property development isn't just about finding the right deal. It's about protecting your investment and knowing what to do when the numbers stop working.
INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
1 into 7 Town House (Cassandra & Mauro Buono)
1600m2,R3, Hornsby, New South WalesYou’ve found the property.
You’re planning a three-lot subdivision.
You’ve done your homework.
Then the site gets rezoned.
Suddenly, you can build seven townhouses instead.
Happy days, right?
Then development reality kicks in.
Stormwater easement approvals. A builder with other priorities when you're at peak debt and poor paperwork resulting in over $300,000 in unexpected variations.
Suddenly, what looked like a great development opportunity becomes a whole lot more complicated.
Here’s what many mum and dad developers don’t realise:
A great deal can still go wrong if you don’t keep control of the build.
Mauro and Cassandra Buono experienced exactly that with their townhouse development.
Originally planning three houses, rezoning opened the door to seven townhouses. They found a good private lender and benefited from a market where townhouses were in short supply.
But when their builder failed to deliver, Mauro had to roll up his sleeves, get hands-on and help push the project towards completion.
So what went right? What went wrong? And what would they do differently next time?
At our next Property Developer Network Meetup, Mauro and Cassandra will share:
• How they found the opportunity and secured the site
• How rezoning transformed the project from a three-lot subdivision to seven townhouses
• How they sourced private funding
• The costly lessons of unexpected variations and poor builder paperwork
• How they dealt with builder delays and stepped in to get the job done
• And the key lessons they learned along the wayBecause property development isn’t just about finding a great site.
It’s about managing the risks, controlling the costs and knowing what to do when things don’t go to plan.Join us for this event and progress your property journey forward in our very unique Mastermind process!
See you all soon!
