106 – From humble plasterer to successful property developer

Property Developer Podcast

Does working in a property-related trade mean you can easily transition into the world of property developer? Just because you understand one small part of a development project doesn’t automatically mean you can run a development project, but it can certainly help. My guest on this episode is Mark Lovett from Liquid Silver Developments. Mark has a long and storied career doing small to medium scale development projects, starting out as a plasterer before moving into property investing. He then decided to try his hand at property developing and purchased his first site with absolutely no idea of what he was doing, and later found out there was an underground stream running through the site. We have a great conversation covering things like: - Understanding your risk appetite and how that will effect your decision making - How his initial due diligence evolved from doing nothing - What he has done throughout his career that has helped him succeed.
