    What Most Builders Don't Know About Property Development

    Many construction companies would kill for more development projects with less cash down. In this episode of The Builders Ladder, Ammon Acarapi from Loan Market Development Finance explains how to do just that.  He shares how non-bank funding is helping builders and developers take on more projects with less money. Ammon’s approach offers construction companies and developers a big boost, including:  Up to 80% LVR on pre-sold properties.  Flexible financing based on the final property value.  An equity-based lending method that skips income checks.  These options can lower the barriers for construction companies to expand. Could this mean traditional bank loans are no longer needed for building businesses? We'll let you be the judge of that after this episode. Tune in to discover: ✔The legal and ethical “funding hack” that lets you start projects with just 20% of the usual cash ✔How one developer funded seven times more projects (without using a bank) ✔Why top developers are ditching banks to speed up approvals ✔How to fund turnkey projects without massive cash deposits ✔Why cash flow might not matter in your next project — if you use this tool ✔Plus More! Whether you’re just starting or looking to scale — this episode offers tools and tips to level up your building business. Key Points: 00:00 Intro 04:45 Lending & equity. 15:11 High-yield investments 22:39 Non-bank lending benefits 29:08 Get this before development funding 32:11 Keys to success - Our construction business coaching has helped 2,500+ building companies succeed.
