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
