Becoming a Property Developer

For experienced investors ready to build from the ground up

Ground-up development means creating new property where there was none, then selling or holding what you have built. This book is written for experienced investors who have already managed refurbishments and are ready for the next step, not for complete beginners. It is honest that development asks more of you in every dimension: more capital, more time, a larger specialist team and a tolerance for risks refurbishers rarely meet, above all planning risk, where you can spend real money with no guaranteed result. You will take an honest self-assessment, see the seven stages of a development in plain terms, and learn what a first scheme genuinely requires. A thirty-day plan sets out your first sound steps, and a chapter covers the mistakes that cost developers the most. It ends with the valuation method you must master next. Next in this series: “The Residual Valuation”.
