Property development has some inherent risks, like any business venture, and understanding what they are and how they can be mitigated is crucial to ensuring the success of any project.

Ron Forlee is a real legend in Australian property development circles. Ron will be a name known to many listeners of the show having written a number of books on developing property in Australia including Australian Residential Property Development, An intelligent guide to Australian Property Development and Australian Residential Property Development for Investors. No doubt you have some of those books in your collection. So I was very excited to be able to speak with Ron for my 100th episode.

Ron is a trained architect who applied his training to tackle property development projects first in South Africa and then in Australia. Following his decades of experience he then transferred his lessons and knowledge into books.

I am sure you will enjoy getting to know the man behind the name as we discuss his favorite projects, what he learned from his very first development and the many lessons he has picked up along the way.
