    EP29: How Developers Make Millions Before Building Anything with Josh Duce

    Most people think property development is about construction. Josh Duce disagrees. In this episode of The Andrew Wright Property Podcast, Josh reveals how developers can create millions of dollars in value before a single sod is turned. By securing large development sites on long settlements or option agreements, obtaining development approvals, and understanding planning frameworks, Josh has built a business around identifying opportunities that most investors never even see. At just 30 years old, Josh has been involved in projects that have transformed raw land into multi-million-dollar development opportunities, often without needing to fund the entire purchase upfront. From off-market acquisitions and rezoning opportunities to due diligence, council negotiations, and development approvals, this episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how sophisticated developers think. Josh also shares several real case studies, including projects in Canungra, Toowoomba, Gladstone, Gatton and beyond, where strategic planning decisions created significant value long before construction began. In this episode: How developers create value before construction starts Finding and securing off-market development sites Using long settlements and option agreements to control large sites Why due diligence is the most important part of development How zoning, overlays and planning schemes impact land value The role of development approvals in creating massive uplifts Real-world development deals and lessons learned The future of property intelligence, AI and development site sourcing Whether you're a property investor, developer, or simply curious about how large-scale projects come together, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the most misunderstood areas of real estate. https://andrewwrightproperty.com.au/

    EP28: Why Most Investors Never Find the Best Property Deals — with Carson Bolt

    Most property investors are buying from the same pool as everyone else. Public listings. Competitive auctions. Emotion-driven offers. And according to Carson Bolt, that’s exactly why so many investors overpay. In this episode of The Andrew Wright Property Podcast, Andrew sits down with Carson Bolt to unpack how experienced investors find better property deals before they ever hit the public market and why relationships, networks, and positioning matter more than most people realise. This conversation goes far beyond “off-market deals.” Carson shares how serious investors build relationships with agents, position themselves as credible buyers, and gain access to opportunities that never appear online. The episode also explores why many investors struggle to scale, not because they lack money, but because they’re competing for the same visible properties as everyone else. If you’ve ever wondered why some investors consistently seem to find better deals, this episode explains what’s really happening behind the scenes. In this episode: Why the best property deals are often never publicly advertised How experienced investors access off-market opportunities The importance of relationships in property investing Why many buyers overpay in competitive markets How to position yourself as a serious buyer The role buyer’s agents can play in sourcing better deals Why networking matters more than most investors think The difference between average deals and strategic deals This episode is a must-listen for investors who want to stop competing with the crowd and start finding opportunities others never see.

    EP27: When the Bank Says No, the Real Deals Begin

    When the bank says no, most investors walk away. Andrew Wright does the opposite. In this episode, Andrew breaks down the creative finance strategies he’s used to buy multiple commercial and industrial properties without traditional bank loans including private lending, vendor finance, joint ventures, long settlements, and lease structuring. You’ll hear real examples of how Andrew secured deals other investors couldn’t buy, including industrial sheds, development sites, and commercial properties that banks refused to fund. This episode is a masterclass in thinking differently about property finance and understanding that sometimes the best opportunities exist precisely because traditional lenders won’t touch them. In this episode:  Why commercial property may outperform residential property in the current market  How Andrew bought multiple properties without using bank financing  The power of private lending and short-term “bridging” strategies  How vendor finance works and why sellers sometimes prefer it  Using long settlements and lease agreements to unlock bank funding later  Why relationships and negotiation skills matter more than ever  How to structure deals that work for both buyer and seller  The biggest mistakes investors make when banks reject their loan applications If you’ve ever walked away from a deal because finance was declined, this episode will completely change how you think about property investing.
