Episode Details

Have you ever wondered if property development could be your next big wealth accelerator?

You've probably heard the success stories – investors who've turned modest sites into multimillion-dollar assets by building just two townhouses.

But what you don't often hear about are the sleepless nights, the missteps, the cost overruns, the unexpected council headaches, or the "learning experiences" that chew up profit and time.

Today, I'm joined by Greg Hankinson – Director of Metropole's Project Development Division. Greg has almost 3 decades of experience managing hundreds of successful small to medium-scale projects.

Just to make things clear… what are we going to be discussing today isn't about becoming a full-time developer. It's about how smart investors are adding a powerful strategy to their portfolio – one that's backed by professionals who've done it hundreds of times before.

So whether you're looking to build wealth faster, reduce your reliance on market growth, or just explore what's possible beyond buying and holding, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
