About this episode
Sam and Ryan discuss the various types of developers and the factors influencing project success in today's market.
In this episode of Development Insights, Sam and Ryan dive into the different types of developers in today’s market and how risk appetite, strategy, and timing can completely change the way a project stacks up. From quick-turn developments to long-term land banking, they discuss why some buyers are willing to pay more, how rising prices in Newcastle are unlocking new opportunities, and the dangers of relying on over-inflated end values. The guys also talk about profit risk margins, why feasibility numbers must be realistic, and how one wrong deal can set you back years if you’re not careful with your assumptions.
