In this week’s episode, Hilary and Bob discuss how to find a property development site. They discuss essential strategies and tips for identifying potential property development locations, emphasising that finding a site is the crucial first step in any development project.

The first step in the research process is to gain a thorough understanding of the market landscape. This involves analysing current market trends, identifying areas of growth, and recogniszing the demand for various property types. We need to be well-informed about local market dynamics. Developers must be aware of factors such as population growth, employment opportunities, and infrastructure developments that can influence property values and demand.

About Bob Andersen:

Bob Andersen (known in the property industry as “The Deal Maker”) is a Property enigma. When it comes to creating financial freedom for his followers, his “thinking” is refreshingly simple. He has the ability to make the seemingly complicated, uncomplicated. Bob has changed the lives of so many people by training them to use property development as a vehicle to build substantial cashflow and long term wealth. This in turn, has given them control over their lives and a lifestyle they could previously only dream about. It has been said that Bob has created more property millionaires in Australia than any other educator / mentee out there through his highly acclaimed property development courses. Thank goodness for Bob! Because there are way too many so-called Property education experts out there. Several, even past students, have ‘borrowed’ Bob’s material in an attempt to ‘be Bob’. As Bob says, “I must have done something right, but you can’t ‘borrow’ over 35 years of experience and over $1 billion worth of projects spread across all states of Australia and in all stages of the property cycle”.
