Posted by Tristan Angelini on 23 February 2022
Property development is a business that’s very appealing to a lot of people all over the world. This should be no surprise because it is indeed lucrative and incredibly rewarding. Property development is a great way to earn a lot of money, and at the same time, it’s a great avenue to express your creative side. It doesn’t also require qualifications as a specialist, and going through training doesn’t take much of your time especially if you have a career outside of this. There has been a lot of worry about the real estate market in Australia after the royal commission took place because it resulted in the tightening of lending options and requirements. Recently. there have been some concerns about what the US inflation could do in Australia's housing market. Recent stats show that the inflation rate in the US is at a 40-year high. This affects the global cost of borrowing, which could mean higher interest rates.
The property development industry is stable which should be enough to keep you interested, however, different factors could affect the investment. If, you’re one of the many who wish to enter this industry. What are some of the most important things to remember about property development as far as my experiences are concerned?
Here are some tips.
DO PLENTY OF RESEARCH
I know this may sound like a generic answer, but research should always be a priority if you’re thinking of being in the property development game. Nowadays, it’s so much easier to find resources, especially online so there should be no reason for you to not do your homework.
CHECK THE MARKET
If you want to do well in property development, the important thing to remember is to buy low and sell high. However, it should not just stop there. Being able to understand the market is something that you, as a property developer should never take for granted. Look at the market trends and property values. There’s always a lot to learn about the market, how property values are formed, and reasons to increase and decrease.
TAKE NOTE OF THE LOCATION
Pretty sure that you have heard about how location plays a great deal when it comes to property buying. Without the right location, it’s quite difficult to succeed in this industry. However, buying a property in an affluent neighborhood should not always be your main target. It should be the best area that you need to look into. Best areas mean the most accessible areas to schools and with great transport links, as well as roads that are not so busy. These factors are really appealing to homebuyers.
Most importantly, THINK OF YOUR POTENTIAL BUYER
When you’re in the process of developing property, the needs of the person buying it should always be taken into consideration. For instance, if you’re catering to a family, the property you’re developing should be able to build the home big enough for furniture and appliances, as well as for the future when the children are much older. Tailoring the property to your potential buyers would make it easier for you to succeed in any project. These are just some things to remember when you’re going into property development, and surely, as you move along in your career, you will learn more valuable lessons.
