Most investors dream about “doing a development” one day… but few know what it actually takes to do it profitably.
In our latest episode, we’re joined by Rob Flux, Founder of Property Developer Network and PICA board member, to unpack the real-world lessons from his own journey, from rebuilding to turning two blocks into eight townhouses in just four years.
Rob shares:
✅ The 3 pathways into development for passive investors, renovators, and tradies.
✅ Why “garbage in, garbage out” applies to every feasibility study.
✅ How to spot the 10% of sites that actually make money.
✅ Why taxes are the real hidden cost killing profitability.
Tune in now to learn why development isn’t about building; it’s about solving the right problems.
