    How to Start Property Development in 2026 (Step-by-Step)

    The fastest way to lose money in property development in 2026 is starting your first project without a real plan. Most people don’t fail because of the market, interest rates, or their builder. They fail because their very first deal was flawed from the start and they didn’t know it until it was too late. In this beginner-friendly guide, Peter Kelly walks you step by step through how to start property development in 2026, explaining the entire process in plain English. From choosing the right first project and understanding risk, to selecting the right area, running simple feasibilities, building the right team, and avoiding the mistakes that quietly kill first-time developments. This video shows you how small-scale property development actually works in the real world so you can move forward with clarity instead of guessing. Whether you’re considering a dual occupancy, townhouses, or your very first development project, this guide is designed to help you reduce risk before you commit. 🔥 You’ll learn How to start property development in 2026 step by step The safest first projects for beginners How to choose the right suburb and avoid overcapitalising How to run a simple feasibility in plain English The core team you need before you buy a site The biggest mistakes first-time developers make What to do in the next 7 days to get moving👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:22 Where You Actually Start 03:26 Step 1: Pick the Right First Project 06:08 Step 2: Choosing Your Area 07:57 Step 3: Understanding the Numbers 10:20 Step 4: Building Your Team 13:40 Step 5: The Tools You Need 14:50 Step 6: The Biggest Mistakes First Timers Make 17:00 Step 7: Your Next Seven Days 📺 Prefer video?

    What I Wish I Knew Before Doing My First Property Development

    Most property developments don’t fail because of one big mistake. They fail because of a series of small costs no one sees coming until it’s already too late. What looks like a great deal on paper can quietly fall apart once the soil, slope, services and planning rules start stacking against you after the site is already locked in. In this episode, Peter Kelly breaks down the hidden costs that kill most property developments and explains why beginners consistently miss them. From soil conditions and land gradient to easements, stormwater, services and planning constraints, this video shows how feasibility slowly erodes when due diligence is rushed or incomplete. This video explains what actually causes developments to blow out, why copying neighbouring projects is dangerous, and how small site differences can carry massive financial consequences. Whether you’re looking at your first development site or already own land, this episode will help you understand where projects go wrong and how to spot problems before they destroy your profit. 🔥 You’ll learn The hidden costs most developers miss Why feasibility breaks down after purchase How soil, slope and services impact build costs Why copying neighbours is risky How to assess a site properly before committing👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:10 Soil Tests 01:49 Site Gradient or Slope 02:39 Easements 03:40 Stormwater & Street-side Services 04:40 Neighbourhood Precedence 07:02 Why People Miss It 08:43 How to Avoid It 📺 Prefer video?

    Property Developer Network: Don’t Develop Alone

    Most developers don’t fail because they don’t understand property development. They fail because they try to figure it out on their own. In this video, Peter Kelly explains why developing in isolation is one of the biggest hidden risks in property development and why being part of a real property developer network changes how fast you learn, how early you spot problems, and how confidently you make decisions. Most developers know the theory. Feasibility, town planning, build costs, lending rules. But once you are dealing with councils, consultants, builders, and constantly changing market conditions, theory stops being enough. That is where a property developer network matters. 🔥 You'll learn: Why developers fall behind without realising it How small decisions quietly compound into big problems Why real world context beats courses and content What a quality property developer network actually providesPeter breaks down why books, courses, and YouTube videos can teach concepts but cannot show you what is happening right now on the ground. Councils change. Builders shift. Finance tightens. If you are not plugged into other active developers, you are always reacting instead of anticipating. This is why the Little Fish Network exists. Thousands of active developers sharing real projects, real issues, and real lessons as they happen. No hype. No theory. Just what is actually happening in the market. If you are developing or about to start, do not do it alone. 👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:10 Why Most Developers Fall Behind 03:27 Why Being Plugged In Matters 04:45 The Game Never Stops Moving 05:26 The Slowest Way to Learn 06:09 The Little Fish Network 📺 Prefer video?

    Backyard Subdivision, What Most People Get Wrong

    Thinking about subdividing your backyard, but worried it could turn into a financial nightmare? Most backyard subdivisions fail not because the land is too small, but because people miss the real traps that don’t show up until it’s too late. In this video, Peter Kelly breaks down exactly how to subdivide your backyard the right way, without getting screwed. If you already own a property or you’re considering buying one with subdivision potential, this video will show you what actually matters before you commit a dollar. No fluff. No jargon. Just real-world advice from someone who does this for a living. 🔥 You’ll learn Whether subdividing your backyard actually makes financial sense The biggest mistakes homeowners make before they even start How the position of your existing house can kill a subdivision The minimum vehicle access that actually works in the real world Why outdoor space matters more than most people realise The difference between separate titles vs shared driveways Hidden costs with services, easements, and site constraints Why building behind an existing home costs more than people expect How to run a simple feasibility that protects you from bad deals What fast-track planning rules don’t tell you The exact team you need to avoid expensive mistakes👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:58 Why You Want to Subdivide 02:12 Can Your Block Handle a Backyard Subdivision? 03:55 Vehicle Access: The Make-or-Break Factor 05:00 Anything to Retain 05:11 Outdoor Space: Making Both Home Livable 06:54 Driveways, Titles & Common Property 08:07 Services, Easements & Hidden Site Constraints 09:27 Build Logistics: The Hidden Costs 10:10 Running the Numbers 11:06 Fast-Track Planning Rules 11:48 The Team You Need to Get This Right 📺 Prefer video?
