G'day aspiring & successful Investors/Developers…
About me: My name is Trent. 30yo and soon to be married (Jan 2010). I want to be a 'successful' property developer full-time by the end of 2010/11. I've not had any experience with Property Development because I've been a desk jockey for the Gov for the past 6yrs. Though I'm not one to shy away from a challenge.. lets face it, marriage is no walk in the park
. So, before running head first into unfamiliar territory, I want to plan it out as comprehensively as possible – I'm not one to leave things to chance or to let it all creep up on me. So here I am to learn from all of you & to ask a few questions… help a lad out & the beer is on me!
Q1) Is there any (cheap) software out there that you might recommend to assist with a Property Development Project… i.e Budgetting and/or Project Management software that is focused towards property development.Q2) Best websites/online resources for research – Property price indicators/Areas of property growth (i.e where to buy, when & how much for)…
Q3) What would you recommend as reference material or books that are useful.. i.e a step by step guide to development – Something that details the individual stages of property development i.e buying, planning, demolition, construction/value adding, materials & labour, contracts, fees (and the list goes on) all the way to selling.
Any assistance is genuinely appreciate… I plan on being here for a long time so I am sure I will get the chance to help you all out as much as you help me!
Cheers,
TrentHi,
Ron Forlee has two books about property development. There are some others on businessmall.com.au. API small development guide is ok too. It is worth googling architects and development companies to get more information. You can always call them and start getting estimates for drawings etc. Hope this helps.
