Property Developer Workshop

What Makes Property Developing The Best Strategy?

Real estate developing is one of the few areas a person can enter with little expertise and become wealthy in a relatively short amount of time.

You can manufacture equity independent to what’s happening in the market.
You can sell off part of your development to own your remaining property without debt.
You can boost rental yields to create more positive cashflow.
You can accumulate property faster and accelerate your portfolio growth.
You can use other people’s money to create wealth.
You can do it in your spare time.
You can choose from many different strategies to make money based on your situation.
Many on our nation’s rich list made their money through property development.
It’s no longer the domain of the rich – anyone can do it if you understand how.

# 1 – DA Uplift

Builders need ongoing projects to keep their workers employed and are on the constant lookout for ready to build sites to save time and holding costs.

This opens the door to acquiring property, obtaining development approvals and then on-selling it to builders for a tidy profit.

You can even acquire the property with minimal outlay using creative instruments such as options and leasing.

# 2 – Sub-Division

When you subdivide one property into many you can add significant value in the process.

You then have the option to hold the lots and wait for more uplift, build on the vacant lots and/or sell one of the properties to pay down your debt and increase your equity and rental yields.

This approach is simple and low risk when you understand the process and what to look out for.

# 3 – Residential Unit Development

Residential unit development has a potentially lower financial requirement compared to commercial, industrial or retail development.

Many residential unit developers sell some of their units after completion to pay down their debt, effectively allowing them to own the remaining units outright.

You can repeat this process to acquire several millions in property and hundreds of thousands in positive cashflow to effectively retire on.

Real-Life Small Developments Case Stories of our Students

Case Study – $170K projected profit from Subdivide, renovate, build and sell

Location: NSW

Purchase Price: $286K

Strategy: DGI Graduate bought derelict hail damaged house with asbestos on sub-divisible block. To subdivide, the DA requirement for Dual Occupancy was to build on the subdivided block – i.e. she could not subdivide the block to sell as vacant land.

Result: She renovated the derelict house and moved into it so she is close to project of building on the back block. She will sell reno’d house for $400K and build the other one for $450K, looking at a projected profit of $170K.

Case Study – $333K Profit from Subdivide, renovate, build and sell

Location: Queensland

Purchase Price: $760K

Strategy: House is pre-war so cannot be moved. Owners are converting the house into 2 townhouses and building 3 more townhouses on the back of the block. They have a DA and are doing the whole development.

Result: The owners are looking for a project profit of $333,302.

Case Study – $1.2 Million Profit from Subdivide and sell

Location: South Australia

Purchase Price: $1.46 Million

Strategy: The vendor bought elsewhere so an agent brought this deal to DGI Graduate Julie. She bought it $140K under market value(discount) by Joint venturing with DGI Graduate Phil. Originally 35 blocks were approved but Julie worked around the plan with the town planner to move a road to allow 36 blocks.

Result: Going to subdivide the whole lot and sell off as newly created vacant blocks of land. This is Julie first deal and forecasted profit is over a million.

Case Study – $447K Profit from Subdivide and build

Location: South Australia

Purchase Price: $756K

Strategy: Strategy is to subdivide and build 5 Torrens title townhouses, 4 with single garage and 1 with double garage.

Result: Selling price for each of 5 units will be $540K-$560K and the double probably $580K. One presale sold for $555K .

Using what we learnt, we bought a block of land under market value in a high growth area and are looking to do a sub-division and two houses… We hired a builder to obtain the DAs and manage the project on our behalf. We’re half way through the development now with a projected profit of $400,000. We’re already looking for our next property.

Alanah and Rob, New South Wales

I did Dominique’s course in 2014. I now have 5 projects on the go totaling around $1.8 million. Some are with money partners, others I am doing myself… I think property development is the easiest investment to do. You just find the deal and get other people to do the work, then phone in once a week to get updates… we are looking at roughly $700,000 in returns.
