    Why More Property Investors Are Getting into Small Developments – Greg Hankinson
    Jun 16 2025
    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. Takeaways · Property development can be a game changer for wealth creation. · Understanding the current market dynamics is crucial for investors. · Planning and preliminary research are essential for successful developments. · Development finance differs significantly from traditional home financing. · Identifying suitable development sites requires thorough due diligence. · Designing properties to meet market demand is key to maximizing returns. · Having the right team of experts can significantly impact project outcomes. · Contingency planning is vital to manage unexpected costs during development. · Common mistakes include misunderstanding development finance and costs. · Long-term holding of developed properties can lead to greater financial benefits.

  • Weathering the Storms: The Property Investor’s Secret Weapon, with Brett Warren

    Weathering the Storms: The Property Investor’s Secret Weapon, with Brett Warren
    Jun 11 2025

    Imagine this… You’ve got a strong property portfolio, you're working hard, and the market is looking good.

    Then – boom – life throws you a curveball. Maybe it’s a job loss, a health issue, or a tenant stops paying rent for months.

    What now?

    Most investors panic. But the savvy ones? They just lean on their financial buffer – a quiet little fund sitting in the background that buys them something more valuable than money: time.

    In this podcast episode of the Michael Yardney Podcast, Brett Warren and I discuss the critical importance for property investors of having a financial buffer.

    We explore how a financial buffer can provide peace of mind, protect against unexpected expenses, and allow investors to navigate financial challenges without panic.

    Through real-life examples and case studies, we illustrate the benefits of maintaining a buffer and offer strategies for building one effectively.

    Takeaways

    · A financial buffer is essential for property investors.

    · Buffers provide peace of mind during financial uncertainty.

    · Unexpected expenses can arise, making a buffer crucial.

    · Building a buffer gradually is a smart strategy.

    · Financial planning helps identify the right buffer amount.

    · Real-life examples show the effectiveness of buffers.

    · Buffers can prevent the need to sell assets in tough times.

    · Investors should prioritize creating a buffer before market shocks.

    · Having a buffer allows for better decision-making during crises.

    · It's important to reassess and rebuild buffers regularly.
