After thinking about strategies on how to get an edge in property investing, I have decided that developing my own property will get me the best results.
The problem is, where to start?
There are so many things to consider and so many things can go wrong, but if you get it right, the rewards can be great.
So with no experience with developing, I started looking for sites suitable for multiple dwellings.
Started learning some basics, but nothing which would let me compete with the experienced players.
I'm very time poor too, so this didn't help my situation at all.
Over a short period of time, I made some contacts and learnt some more, but still wasn't getting very far.
Still had to find a suitable site for development, which would be feasible, and get someone to work with town planners, architects, builders and project manage the job to completion for me as I am very time poor, and still make a reasonable profit.
Luckily, I found someone who could do all of this for me, provide very personal, valuable and efficient service at a very reasonable fee.
I am now in the early stages of planning, since securing a great site, and things are looking very promising.
I'll put up some figures in another post.
Anyway, I was just wondering what has stopped others who have thought about developing, but didn't follow through with it.
I'd really be interested in the reasons others who have though about getting into developing, but didn't follow through with it yet.
And for those who have, what was the biggest factor which helped you get started.
Thanks
