An intelligent course on real estate development

This course provides a good overview of real estate development for those contemplating a career in this lucrative industry. The course is not a highly technical and is explained in simple language. It is ideal not only for a novice developer, but for seasoned developers as well. It offers a sound approach and defines the risks and financial rewards involved in this exciting and creative industry. While this course is based within the Australian context, the development principles apply to many other countries as well.

Any person contemplating entering real estate development will be overwhelmed by the incredible breadth and depth of knowledge required to make it a success. No development should be made without understanding areas such as law, finance, management, feasibilities, tax, company structures and marketing. From the first lecture to the last, I cover a broad range of subjects. The subjects covered include whether you have the right attitude, development finance, feasibility studies, the timing of a project and the appointment of consultants. Also, it explains how to analyse profits and provides advice on a range of development projects from small residential to large commercial centres.
