Ep. 200 - The Secrets of a Successful Property Development Exit Strategy


Listen Later

In this milestone 200th episode of the Property Mastermind Podcast, Hilary Saxton and Bob Andersen unpack one of the most critical parts of a development project: your exit strategy.

Whether you’re selling, holding, refinancing, or doing a creative deal, how you exit a project has a major impact on your final profit, tax position, and long-term plans. This episode explains why you need to decide your exit strategy early, how to structure your project to support it, and what happens if you change direction midstream.
