Lower entry, less risk. But when your build costs barely change and your sale prices drop off a cliff, the "safe" option becomes the most dangerous one. After delivering more than half a billion dollars' worth of projects, the pattern is clear. There's a price floor where profit disappears and you're just hoping the market bails you out. This video breaks down exactly why cheaper doesn't mean safer, how to compare the suburb you're in against the one next door, and when stretching your budget actually puts more money in your pocket. 🔥 You'll learn → Why build costs stay flat across cheap and expensive suburbs → How overcapitalising kills margins in affordable areas → The multiplier effect of stepping up one suburb → Where the price floor sits and why it matters → How to match your build spec to the local buyer → The neighbouring suburb comparison that adds six figures → Why outer fringe estates rely on hope, not profit → When stretching your land budget actually pays off → The one decision that separates strong returns from scraping through 📣 Powered by: Little Fish Property: https://www.littlefishproperties.com.au/ 🔗 Follow Pete: https://www.instagram.com/peterkellyproperty/ 👇 Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:54 Build Costs Don’t Change by Suburb 02:02 Why Better Suburbs Multiply Profit 03:18 When a Suburb Gets Too Cheap 04:15 Match the Build to the Area 05:08 The Next-Suburb-Up Comparison #PropertyDevelopment #SuburbSelection #DevelopmentProfit #MelbourneProperty #PropertyDeveloper
