In this episode, we discuss 7 things you can look for when choosing to purchase an investment property from a developer. 


It's increasingly popular for investors to add new properties to their portfolio. You can do this either by using a property coach, or through a property developer. Here are the 7 things to look for if you decide to do it yourself:



  • If they are in a secure financial position so they don't fall over throughout the project

  • What their quality of finish of their previous builds are like, and if they are consistent with the plans

  • Whether they are good to deal with and are likely to come to the party if a disagreement occurs

  • Whether their building design is diverse. You don't want them to flood the market

  • Whether their builds finish on time, so you aren't lumped with higher interest costs if using a progressive payments model

  • Whether their company has been in business for a while, and

  • If their company has a good reputation 


We also mention the property investor quiz. This 7-question quiz can give you a yes, no or maybe answer about whether you're in a position to invest in property. It will also generate a full report about what your numbers mean.
