Property Development Explained Simply: How to Plan, Cost and Profit from Developing Property - Paperback

by Steve Palise (Author), Liam Carmody (Author)

Property development is about 'improving' the land's usable capabilities. This could be anything from turning one house into two duplexes or developing a vacant block into a 500-unit apartment tower. It doesn't always have to be residential to residential: another development scenario is changing the property's use case to improve the land's capabilities (think abandoned warehouse in inner-city Melbourne rezoned and made into boutique townhouses).
For many, property is their biggest investment. Property experts Steve Palise and Liam Carmody show you how you can leverage your property to bring greater returns. Property Development Explained Simply comprehensively explains the pros and cons of developing with information that is objective, easy-to-read, factual and concise. Having read the book, you might decide to develop yourself, employ a team to do it for you, or sell your property with permits and plans secured to maximise the sale price of your property. Drawn from Steve Palise and Liam Carmody's own experience as successful property investors and developers, whether you are a wannabe, a rookie or an experienced property developer this comprehensive guide will be invaluable.
