I have just finished reading your 41 page e-book on Property Development. I was already convinced that property investment was the vehicle I would specialise in to accumulate wealth, however, I wanted to know more about property development so I could accelerate the process.

There is little or if any literature on property development that takes you through the entire process and helps you start on your journey as a budding developer. The step by step process and the ten year plan in your e-book are an amazing eye opener as to how this industry works and how you can create the wealth I desire for my future.

The fact that you are an expert in your field and have the proven track record of successful project after successful project, I will be calling on you to be a mentor for my first project and would like to challenge anyone to find a better mentor in Australia with the same credentials. I would have no hesitation in recommending this as the “must read” bible for the property development industry.

Five years ago I decided that my path to financial freedom would be via property investment. I have spent (I like to think invested) over $15,000 during that time on seminars, workshops and a bootcamp. I have also acquired two investment properties.

It wasn’t until I read your report “Getting Started in Property Development …”, that all my previously scattered thoughts came into alignment. I had become frustrated by the negative financial climate and a lack of growth in the real estate values preventing me from moving forward.

Thanks to your report I have now been able to set realisable goals and have a plan to move forward and readily achieve them, even in the current market. Your logical step by step analysis of using a develop and hold strategy has been enlightening.

I wouldn’t say that I have wasted $15,000 on previous ‘education’ but I would definitely say that it never gave me the clarity of direction and a realisable plan to success that your report has. To that extent the value to me has been greater than $15,000.

I am now undertaking my next step to financial freedom and it’s all thanks to your invaluable report.

Bob saved my life and made me $400,000 profit when I thought I was going to lose $400,000. In spite of what I had learned I got too gung ho and bought a ‘lemon’ site – site unseen and interstate. Noisy, bad shape, road widening resumption to name just a few problems. Staring down the barrel of a potential sizable loss I joined Bob’s partnership program to give myself the best chance of recovering my money. Using Bob’s inner circle of associates (lawyer, architect, planner) and some great negotiation with Council by Bob we achieved an outcome that even shocked the planner. Bob is brilliant. He turned my lemon into lemonaide.

We were about to give up on our dream. After two years of work, two DA’s from two different architectural firms and a not too favourable valuation for our proposed student accommodation project we didn’t know where to turn. But a chance meeting with a senior executive from a major financial institution turned everything around. He gave us Bob Andersen’s contact details. After an initial meeting Bob declared our scheme unworkable. Two weeks later, after brainstorming with his associates, we had a totally revised, simpler and far superior design. In effect Bob was able to reduce construction costs by 33% ($610,000), increase the on completion net rent by adding 28 bathrooms (up from 4) and thereby increase the end value by $570,000. That’s a $1,180,000 turnaround. He’s a genius. Learn from the best.

As head of an investment syndicate I joined Bob’s Gold level education and mentoring program prior to commencing a substantial development project. Armed with a huge increase of knowledge I joined Bob’s partnership program when it came time to undertake the project. The way he taught me to deal with financiers, consultants etc was awe inspiring. His connections within the industry are at the highest level and I can attest to the fact that his guidance and skill made us tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra profit.

“I think many people do not take on property development because they think it is just too hard; some say it’s only for people with specific talents or experience. This ebook lays out the principles and the foundations that quickly demystify the ‘how to’ of property development and removes much of the associated fears that stop people from getting started.. I have read just about every book and property magazine in Australia since I arrived over two years ago and frankly nothing distils all the fundamentals quite like this ebook. I think Bob has a talent for the written word which combined with his hands on experience merges very well to create the platform for a smooth transition into property development for the reader. Acquiring knowledge starts with asking an intelligent sequence of questions. Bob’s ebook provides these questions which begin to dispel many of the myths associated with property development. Likewise the more you know the less risk you take on. Bob has a knack of then converting knowledge into an action plan with a clear end state (wealth, retirement, holidays, new career ??) in mind. Bobs material leaves all the sales patter to the numerous wealth spruikers selling you their ‘knowledge to riches’; instead providing commonsense and the ability to see a path to realising a greater purpose using property as a mechanism to do so.
