My father always told me \u2013 ‘Forget about the stock market; bricks and mortar is the way to go. Property is one of the greatest investments you can make. All it takes is buying at the right<\/em> time, in the right<\/em> place, and at the right<\/em> price.’<\/p>\n

My response was something like, ‘Thanks, but easier said than done!’<\/p>\n

Property Development vs. Retail ‘Off-the-Plan’ Investment<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>I researched and studied how the best property investors on the BRW Rich 200 made their bank. What I found was surprising but now seems like common sense – Instead of paying retail prices; they accumulated properties via property development. They bought wholesale, and this meant safer and higher returns!<\/p>\n

Maybe, just maybe my father was right after all.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the numbers for a townhouse project, comparing the cost savings of acquiring property as a developer rather than as an off-the-plan\u2019 investor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You can see that as a developer I acquired my investment property at $103,000 less than if purchased as a retail ‘off-the-plan’ investor.<\/p>\n

Now, get out your calculator and let’s have some real fun. Add another townhouse, paid for by my Self Managed Super Fund, and the cost savings become $206,000 and I have $174,000 in equity!<\/p>\n

The Fast-Track to Building Financial Success<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’ve got money to invest, asset rich and time poor, your superannuation fund has been performing poorly, then this is a strategy that’s viable for you too. Absolutely anyone can do it, but few people do. Most people don’t realize that property development puts you on the fast-track to building financial success.<\/p>\n
