Podcast Episode 4: Avoid This Top 3 Developer Mistakes! (Developer Mistakes Part 1 of 3)

Whether you’re doing Renos, townhouses, or apartments; it is very important to know and understand the common mistakes other developers and investors always make so you can avoid delays, additional costs, and stress. 

In this episode, I will share with you the things I learned from my mistakes in 19 years of doing developments to get you prepared and loaded with information for your property investment journey.

Part 2 of 3 of the series “The Common Mistakes Developers Make and How to Avoid It”. In this episode, I will share with you my personal experiences with the mistakes I have made or I’ve seen other people make and how you can avoid these.

I and my business partner were on track to make a million-dollar profit and the GFC came and those profits disappeared right before our eyes. With a lot of hard work and painstaking efforts, we’re still able to earn $200 grand in the middle of GFC.

Oftentimes, developers want to pump up how wealthy they are so they’ll buy expensive cars to look the part.

I started when I first bought my Mercedes. I admit I bought it on debt. And that really emphasizes to me especially on the GFC when the car value is going down, the value of the car is a lot less than what I owed the bank. I want to sell it but I wasn’t able to sell it because the debt on it was significant and I didn’t have the cash handy to pay off that debt.

When you pay cash, you get really really good deals, good discounts. The car that I traded in my old AMG Mercedes had no debt on it. I was debt-free and I wasn’t pouring money.

Part 3 of 3 of the series “The Common Mistakes Developers Make and How to Avoid Them”. In the world of property development, there are frustrations, there are breakdowns and there are things that get you stuck. You might start building a house or doing a subdivision and often things don’t go to plan. It’s just part of the nature of the beast. You can easily get upset when finance takes too long, buyers take too long and promises from consultants are broken due to unexpected delays or council requirements changing without notice.

In this episode, I will share more Common Mistakes that Developers Make – “Why Not Being Area Experts and Not knowing your Own Turf is Critical” and “Why Trying To Do Too Much “ Can get you in Hot Water!

No matter what other people say, believing in yourself that you can do it is the key ingredient in achieving greater things in life. And that was what drove our guest for this episode to pave her way towards success. Today we’re joined by an inspiring Property Developer, Maggie Smith.
