Finally, a comprehensive property development workshop DVD created and conducted by practicing property developers! Not part timers, industry bodies or real estate agents but real property developers working at the coal face of the industry every day of the week!

Based on the success of our internationally acclaimed book ‘Residential Real Estate Development: A Practical Guide For Beginners To Experts' we have created a supplementary workshop DVD to take your learning experience to the next level.

The DVD was filmed from a live workshop we conducted in Brisbane recently. In the workshop DVD we explore various aspects of the property development process in a lot more detail and also provide a number of tips and secrets not discussed in the book, including a proven and powerful property development wealth creation strategy. We also incorporate a lot of real life examples from a number of different projects we are currently involved in.

Essentially, the workshop DVD has been designed to take what you will have learnt in the book and add to it the practical resources you will need to undertake your own property development project.

The strategy - Formulating and personalising a strategy using property development as a catalyst for turbo charging the rate at which you can acquire your investment properties.

Developer mindset - Analysing the required mindset and characteristics of a successful property developer. There are no 'born developers' so you will need to train yourself to think and act like a successful developer.

Your first step - Taking your first step on your way to successful property development. What you need to know, who you need to know, what you need to have in place and where to go for help.

Your roadmap - You wouldn't set off on an adventurous trip without planning your itinerary or consulting a roadmap. Learn the complete development process, how the separate processes link and overlap and how to brainstorm your project from concept to completion.

Forming a concept - Learn how to examine the highest and best use of your site. Also learn how to form a concept for the project including target marketing your project.

Design - Learn how to marry the design and standard of finish of your project to the requirements of your target market.

Financial feasibility analysis - Perhaps the most critical element of successful property development and where most beginners come unstuck. Learn how to perform manual and computerised financial feasibilities and cash flows.

Purchasing a site - Learn how to perform a comprehensive due diligence analysis. Also learn negotiation techniques with real estate agents and land owners and how to use options and contract special conditions to your advantage.

Financing the project- Learn the various sources of development finance and when certain sources are better than others. Also learn how to create a top shelf finance application and how to negotiate and deal with your financier. Also learn how to obtain the right valuation as well as certain advanced finance strategies.

Advanced finance strategies - Analyse in detail three real life developments, including two presently under development, where Bob has used free equity, seller's finance and a joint venture with a land owner to structure deals with no money on the table and with the financier lending 100% of the project costs.

Obtaining local authority permits - Learn which permits are necessary for which projects as well as how much they can cost and how long they can take. Also learn about how to deal with local authorities and neighbouring property owners as well as what to do if you do not obtain your permit.

Construction - Learn how to find a builder, select a builder, appoint a builder, and manage the builder. Also learn the various types of construction contracts and what to do if your builder goes bust or falls under a bus.

Marketing - Learn what marketing a property development project involves including how to target market your project, how to select the right sales team and how to manage your sales team to bring out the best result.

Post construction - Learn how to successfully manage all of the steps from taking possession of the site through to banking the money including final inspections, arranging the survey plan, plan sealing, lodging titles, arranging settlements etc.

You're an investor who understands that building a property portfolio is a proven, tax effective strategy for building wealth.

You also realise that there is a smarter and faster way to build your property portfolio - by developing your own investments and acquiring them at absolute developer's cost.

You've read books, maybe attended a seminar or workshop, and you're ready to take that all important first step towards your first development project - but wait a minute...

It’s a bigger step than when you bought your first investment property, and there are more risks – even if the benefits are far greater.

You’ve got the time to do it, and the money, but if only you could find someone with experience who could advise and direct you along the way – someone to lean on and boost your confidence.

You can – and not just anyone but a development manager with over $1 billion in completed projects and over 420 dwellings currently in the development process.

So how does it work?

For a small percentage of your project’s value you can be guided and educated throughout your whole development project and receive ‘on the job training’ from the veteran of over $1 billion of projects over the last 27 years – Bob Andersen.

As the ‘apprentice’ you will put in the leg work but under the guidance and direction of a veteran developer, taking your development project from concept to completion.

Imagine the reassurance and confidence you would gain by working alongside someone with such vast experience and standing within the property development industry.

Some, but by no means all of the areas we can advise and direct you are;

• Establishing the right structure
• Brainstorming your project from concept to completion and creating your personal blueprint to follow
• Performing a thorough due diligence analysis 
• Performing a comprehensive financial feasibility analysis
• Selecting the necessary consultants
• Arranging a valuation and development finance including the finance application
• Arranging the necessary local authority permits
• Assisting in the marketing of your project including creating a marketing plan
• Assisting with the tender and selection of the building contractor
• Arranging the settlement process
