Bouncing back after adversity is a story we all love, so hearing from a developer who went big only for things to unravel with costly and complex legal challenges is a fascinating insight into always striving toward your life goals.

Iwan Sunito from One Global Capital is a seasoned property developer who has enjoyed several decades of success doing some major projects under his former company Crown Group. Crown developed some significant projects over the years to the value of around $4 billion before Iwan and his business partner had a falling out, which has led to a series of legal battles and ongoing challenges, which we discuss during our conversation. Iwan says One Goal Capital has a $1 billion pipeline of work that he is focused on to continue his vision of delivering city shaping projects.

This was a really interesting chat for me because way back when I started the podcast and I was thinking about people I would like to have on the show Iwan was on the list so it was great to finally be able to sit down and speak with him, particularly in light of the challenges he is facing. I’m sure you will enjoy listing to Iwan’s story and appreciate some of the lessons he shares.

110 – Surviving the Boom to Bust Rollercoaster

Tackling your first development project is usually an emotional journey and it was no different for a young architect who turned her focus on delivering an exquisite duplex property.

Jenn Sinclair accidentally discovered that she had bought a former meth lab as the property she planned on turning into a luxury home. It was the start of her journey toward becoming a property developer.

She was inspired by designing and building her family home and decided to take on a duplex project and test her skills out to see if she could successfully execute a development project.

Jenn decided to do two very different interiors and finishes on each unit and this created challenges along the way as she often doubled her choices and decision making.

Jenn invested a lot of time and emotion into her project and learnt a lot along the way which she shares with us including:
- the difference a great builder can make during a project
- trusting in yourself to deliver something special
- working collaboratively with your team to get better results

This is a great story about a young developer trying to produce something special and succeeding.

109 – Meth Lab to Stylish Sanctuary

Understanding the rhythm and cycle of the property market is obviously extremely beneficial to property developers so you can plan the best time to deliver projects and maximise profits. Being aware of when the market is likely to boom or go bust can help you ride out the cycles and endure over the long term.

Today’s guest is Phillip Anderson from Property Sharemarket Economics. Phil is the author of the book The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking, an investment analyst and an investor. Phil’s book outlines a seemingly recurring economic cycle that takes around 18 years to complete and has a major impact on the property market.

Understanding the rhythm and cycle of the market is obviously extremely beneficial to property developers so I wanted to have this conversation to help you with your investing and developing. I think there are some great insights from Phil’s work and I wanted to have this conversation to help you with your investing and developing.

We discuss:
- the 18 year real estate cycle and how it affects property developers
- Phil’s thoughts on where we are in the cycle and what’s coming in the next few years; and
- how to get set to maximise the potential opportunities that may be on the horizon.

I really enjoyed speaking with Phil and I hope it sparks some interest and curiosity. I will preface it by saying nothing in this conversation is financial advice, you need to do your own research and investigation before making any investment decisions.

107 – Navigating the construction crunch

Does working in a property-related trade mean you can easily transition into the world of property developer? Just because you understand one small part of a development project doesn’t automatically mean you can run a development project, but it can certainly help.

My guest on this episode is Mark Lovett from Liquid Silver Developments. Mark has a long and storied career doing small to medium scale development projects, starting out as a plasterer before moving into property investing. He then decided to try his hand at property developing and purchased his first site with absolutely no idea of what he was doing, and later found out there was an underground stream running through the site.

We have a great conversation covering things like:

- Understanding your risk appetite and how that will effect your decision making
- How his initial due diligence evolved from doing nothing
- What he has done throughout his career that has helped him succeed.
