Ever Had a Deal Go Off the Rails?
Maybe it was council red tape...
Maybe it was a nightmare neighbour...
Or maybe everything looked like it was going to plan until it wasn’t.
At this month’s Property Developer Network Meetup, we're bringing in a Real Deal Speaker Mark Shearwood who’s been to hell and back and lived to tell the tale. This is the kind of story most people keep quiet about… but he’s laying it all on the table, so you don’t make the same mistakes.
Hear from Mark what started out as a straightforward project but turned into an absolute nightmare and how he overcome the challenges thrown at him:
– Issues with council from day one
– A neighbour dispute that got ugly
– Council overstepping their legal powers
– A full-blown court case just to get things moving again
– The mindset that kept him in the game
– The legal strategies that turned the tide
A 2.5-year delay that would have crippled most developers. But not this one. Instead of walking away or wearing the loss, he took the fight to council, won in court, and came out the other side with an even stronger position. In fact, he’s now running 18 projects in the same area, armed with the hard-won experience that only comes from living through the pain.
Let’s face it property development isn’t always pretty. But it’s the tough lessons that separate the hobbyists from the professionals.
If you’re serious about this game, you can’t afford to miss this meetup.
Come along, take notes, and be ready to ask questions because this one’s going to be raw, real, and full of gold.
