Property Mastermind - All Things Property Development

Property Mastermind Podcast with Bob Andersen & Hilary Saxton

How to Actually Start in Property Development — Free Online Event This Saturday

Negotiation might be the most underrated skill in property development, and the good news is, it is one you can improve. In this episode, Bob Andersen and Hilary Saxton unpack the negotiating skills every property developer needs, from buying sites to dealing with partners, agents and builders.

You will learn why the best deals are rarely about price alone, how the right conditions (like a longer settlement) can be worth more than a discount, and how understanding the other party's needs versus their wants creates a genuine win-win. 

Bob shares the real stories: the seller who simply had to have a round $1million, the auction where an extra $5,000 won the site, the 'stock-back' deal that got him in with less cash, and the two-and-a-half-hour meeting that taught him to always confirm he was talking to the actual decision-maker.

Whether you are chasing your first site or your fiftieth, you will walk away with practical ways to negotiate better, and probably save yourself a lot of money.

In this episode:
Why negotiation is a developer's most underrated (and improvable) skill
Why conditions can be worth more than price
Needs versus wants, the heart of every deal
Knowing your walk-away point, and when to bend it
Talking to the real decision-maker, not 'piggy in the middle'
Creative structures like the 'stock-back' deal
When and how to walk away, and why sellers come back

Site Negotiation Secrets Every Property Developer Should Know (Ep: 267)

You've heard them all: you have to be rich, all developers go broke, you must be a builder, but how many of these "facts" are actually true?



In Episode 266, Hilary Saxton rapid-fires the biggest property development myths at Bob Andersen and Bob debunks each one in plain English.



In this episode: 
- Why you DON'T need to be a multi-millionaire (plus Bob's "thumb rule") 
- The lie that "all developers go broke" 
- Why there's no single "type" of person who develops — 18 to 80, every profession! 
- "You have to be a builder" — busted 
- Waiting for the perfect time (and the perfect site) 
- Can you make money in a tough market? 
- "The council is always against me" 
- Do you really need to quit your job first? 
- Is property development too risky? 
- Why you can't skip the feasibility — or your education

The Property Development Lies Everyone Believes (Ep: 266)

Most people think the best property developers are the ones making the biggest profits. They're not.

Plus the 10-year plan every developer should write tonight.
