71 – How fragmented investing can help property developers to grow

How can fragmented property investing help property developers grow their business? It is a fledgling sector of the property industry that offers an interesting model to get people involved with property and an alternative funding model for getting projects completed. Before we get to discussing fragmented investing, here's a quick update on what I've been up to. I’m doing fine, just dealing with Melbourne going into lockdown for a second time due to corona virus which is a bit frustrating but at least the building industry is continuing to operate at this stage, so construction work can carry on, which is good as we are just starting construction on my townhouse project. In fact the builder is on site this week doing the initial set out work before they start doing the early site works. It’s exciting to see things happening on site after so many years of working on this project. On my other townhouse project, work continues on the documentation and I have been exploring options for who might be best to build it. I’ve also been in discussions with the local council about changing the cross over alignment from a long convoluted path to one that is much shorter and efficient. Hopefully that is fruitful. Otherwise, it is a strange time in the Melbourne property industry, with buyer activity subdued and a sense of apprehension in many sectors, but the market will bounce back it just depends on how long it takes.
