Can You Turn 3 Blocks Into 6 Lots?
The truth is...
A seemingly straightforward splitter can quickly become a very different project once the unexpected starts piling up.
Most developers focus on the numbers at the start, purchase price, end values and expected profit. But the real test comes when valuations are delayed, asbestos is discovered, sales take longer than expected, or a tenant refuses to leave.

Purchased for $3.6 million, the strategy looked simple on paper.
But getting it across the line involved commercial funding, simultaneous settlements, free house removals, buried asbestos, valuation delays, slow lot sales and a stubborn tenant who refused to vacate bringing the project close to a QCAT application.
And then something unexpected happened.
A post-survey re-measure revealed additional land on several lots, creating more value than originally anticipated.
Despite the obstacles, the project delivered approximately $600,000 profit at around 15% POC.
Anastasiya will share:
路 How she found and structured a multi-lot splitter opportunity through a buyers agent
路 How commercial funding, prepaid interest and investor capital were used to fund the project
路 The challenges of coordinating simultaneous settlements, house removals and site clearing
路 How buried asbestos, valuation delays and a non-vacating tenant threatened the project
路 How a post-survey re-measure uncovered additional value
路 The numbers behind the $3.6M purchase and the strategy to achieve approximately 15% POC
This is a genuine, behind-the-scenes case study showing what really happens when a straightforward subdivision meets the realities of development.
If you're considering a splitter, looking for ways to uncover additional value, or simply want to hear how an experienced developer navigates the problems that can threaten your profit, this is one Real Deal presentation you won't want to miss.
