Two development projects can look almost identical on paper, but one makes a fortune and the other loses money. Here's what actually determines which way it goes.

In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Marcus from our project management team, who works across dozens of developments and sees firsthand what separates the winners from the disasters. We break down the four key areas that determine whether a project succeeds or fails, acquisition, feasibility, exit strategy, and relationships, and why getting two out of three right can still save a deal.

You'll learn how scope creep during design quietly blows budgets before a builder even starts, why the tender process is where your most important relationships are built, and how staying nimble throughout execution can recover margins when the market moves against you.

If you're planning your first development or trying to figure out why your last one underperformed, this episode gives you the framework.

🔥In this episode:

• The four pillars of a successful development
• How scope creep silently kills budgets
• Why your exit strategy shapes internal design
• How to find and vet builders from scratch
• The tender process as a relationship tool
• Why two out of three can still work
• Staying agile when the market shifts
• Three patterns behind every successful project

Most people think property developers find profitable sites by scrolling realestate.com or waiting for something good to pop up.

The developers who consistently find great sites aren't lucky. They've built systems, relationships, and habits that put them first in line before a property ever gets listed.

I break down the four ways developers actually source profitable sites. From building agent relationships that generate off-market deal flow, to approaching landowners directly, to negotiating around development potential so you don't pay more than you should.

🔥 You'll learn

• Why the best sites never get listed
• How to build agent relationships that pay off
• What makes agents bring deals to you first
• How to act on off-market deals fast enough
• When to approach landowners directly
• Why agents can broker landowner deals better
• How to figure out what a vendor really wants
• The negotiation mistake that inflates your price
• Why you should understate development potential

Most developers waste weeks analysing sites that experienced buyers reject in seconds. Here's exactly how they filter so fast.

In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Gav, Head of Site Acquisitions at Little Fish, who reviews hundreds of development sites every week, to break down the exact process experienced developers use to instantly assess whether a property deal is worth pursuing or a complete waste of time.

You'll learn the specific red flags that kill a deal before you even open a spreadsheet, how to reverse-engineer your target suburb using free tools like realestate.com.au, and why finding the "no" quickly is more valuable than chasing a maybe. Gav walks through real examples, including a near-perfect McKinnon site that still didn't stack up, to show how the numbers tell the real story.

Whether you're just starting out or sharpening your site-finding skills, this episode will change the way you assess every listing you see.

🔥In this episode:

• The first things Gav checks on every site
• Red flags that trigger an instant pass
• How trees, slope and shadowing kill deals
• Reverse-engineering suburbs from your budget
• Why a "perfect" site can still be overpriced
• Using free tools to analyse sites from your desk
• How builder-developers repeat the same formula
• Why speed matters more than depth early on

The property strategy that built your parents' wealth now puts you six to eight percent behind before the market even moves.

For decades, buying property and waiting was the surest path to wealth in Australia. But higher entry prices, tighter lending, and rising holding costs have quietly changed the equation for today's investors.

I break down why buy and hold worked so well for the previous generation and why it's become much harder to scale today. You'll see where investors are getting stuck and the active strategies that create equity instead of waiting for the market to deliver it.

Whether you're holding your first investment or trying to build a portfolio, this is the shift worth understanding before your next move.

🔥 You'll learn

• Why buy and hold no longer scales
• The day-one cost gap most buyers ignore
• How lending rules now block portfolio growth
• Why holding costs silently eat returns
• Active strategies that create equity fast
• How one property becomes two or more
• The stamp duty trap slowing your growth
• What smart investors do differently now

Most investors are bleeding money holding property and don't even realise it.

Here's why the smart ones are switching to small development projects instead.

In this episode of Inside Property Development, I sit down with Claire, Head of Projects at Little Fish, who manages dozens of development projects at any given time. We break down why the traditional buy-and-hold strategy is becoming harder to sustain, what a realistic first development project actually looks like, and the costly mistake that catches almost every beginner off guard.

You'll learn why a simple side-by-side dual occupancy is the safest entry point for first-time developers, how to avoid over-capitalising on finishes, and why the hidden cost of time can quietly eat through your entire margin if you're not careful.

If you've ever wondered whether small-scale development could outperform your current investment strategy, this is the episode to start with.

🔥In this episode:

• Why buy-and-hold is leaving investors cash-negative
• How development lets you manufacture your own equity
• Why a side-by-side dual occ is the ideal first project
• The stone upgrade trap no one talks about
• Hidden costs that can quietly add $60k+ to your project
• Why you should submit to council at 80% happy
• Treat your project like a business, not your dream home

Is property development still profitable in 2026… or are margins too tight to make it work?

Most people think the opportunity is gone. Costs are up. Prices are flat. And developers are getting squeezed.

But that’s not the full picture.

In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down what’s actually happening in the market right now — and where smart developers are still making money.

From rising build costs and tighter feasibility, to the hidden advantage of reduced competition and a growing housing shortage, this is a clear, no-BS look at property development in 2026.

You’ll also see the exact strategies working today — including why single storey dual occupancy projects are quietly outperforming, and how the best developers are positioning themselves to win when the market shifts.

This isn’t theory. It’s what we’re seeing on real projects, with real clients, right now.

Most developers waste weeks on sites that experts reject in 10 seconds. Here's exactly what they're looking for.

In this episode of Inside Property Development, host Pete sits down with Gavin, Head of Acquisitions at Little Fish and the man who analyses hundreds of development sites every single week, to reveal the exact process experienced developers use to instantly spot a subdivision opportunity (or kill one just as fast).

You'll learn the specific red flags that tell you a site is dead before you even run the numbers, and how to use free online tools like Google Maps, realestate.com.au and Domain to do your due diligence from your desk.

Whether you're just starting out or sharpening your eye, this episode will change the way you look at property forever.

🔥In this episode:

• The 2 to 3 things Gavin checks first on any site
• Red flags that instantly kill a deal and why emotion makes you ignore them
• How to use Street View, neighbouring listings and free portals to analyse sites fast

Building the same house today can cost nearly double what it did just a few years ago.

In this video, I break down why new homes are so expensive to build now and what’s really driving the surge in construction costs across Australia.

Most people assume it’s just materials or labour.

But the real story is much bigger.

From supply chain shocks and trade shortages to new building regulations and rising interest rates, multiple forces have been quietly stacking on top of each other and pushing build costs higher.

I also share real project examples from Melbourne showing how the cost of building similar homes has jumped dramatically in just a few years and explains what it means for developers, investors and everyday buyers.

If you want to understand what’s really happening inside the construction industry right now, this video breaks it down.

🔥 You’ll learn

• Why the cost to build new homes has nearly doubled in recent years
• The hidden forces driving construction costs higher
• How supply chain disruptions pushed material prices up
• Why trade shortages are increasing labour costs
• How new building regulations are adding to build costs
• The impact higher interest rates have on housing and construction

Some people wait 15 to 20 years for property to make them wealthy. Others create serious equity in a year or two.

Same market. Completely different outcomes.

In this video, I break down the two paths people are using to get ahead in property right now, and why understanding the difference can save you years of wasted time, bad decisions, and missed opportunity.

This is a practical, real world guide to how wealth is actually being built in today’s market.

It's a clear breakdown of how buy and hold really works, where small development can change the game, and what smart investors are doing to use both at the right time.

You’ll learn why buy and hold can still be powerful, why it often takes longer than people expect, how development creates equity faster, and what risks come with trying to force growth instead of waiting for it.

Whether you’re trying to buy your first investment, build long term wealth, or understand when development makes more sense than holding, this will help you think about property more strategically.

🔥 You’ll learn

• The two main paths people are using to build wealth in property
• Why buy and hold is simple, but often slower than people think
• The hidden costs that put investors behind from day one
• Why some properties grow while others go nowhere
• How development lets you create value instead of waiting for it
• The difference between knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancy, subdivision, and townhouses
• Why forced equity can accelerate your position much faster
• The risks, moving parts, and mistakes that can kill a project
• How smart investors use both strategies at different stages
