The property development component of the Australian economy is suffering due to the Covid-19 pandemic which forced the borders to be closed to immigration and international students, reducing demand for additional property. Many people are suffering financially due to Covid lockdowns which affects their financial capacity, resulting in them looking for alternate means to create, or replace, wealth. “At Property Development Institute we ascertain why people are wanting to educate themselves in property development and focus on identifying the inherent risk involved in property development whilst also demonstrating that there is a substantial upside if, and only if, they undertake property development properly,” Steve elaborates. “Property development training organisations that rely on filling rooms and selling seats to make their living will never be able to focus on the very real risks associated with property development as they need to sell, sell, sell. This simply results in people losing money and being hurt. Property Development Institute is committed to ensuring people are fully informed of risk before they invest their money into their own property development projects.” Regarding the future, Steven and the team at Property Development Institute are committed to continuing to provide genuine, meaningful property development training courses into the future. “We want people to experience the success of property development and to share their experiences with others. ‘Property development is a learnt skill; you’re not born with it’ is a statement we like to reiterate to people.” Recently, Steven and the team at Property Development Institute were given the prestigious accolade of Best Property Development Training Provider 2021 – Australia in the BUILD Construction and Engineering Awards 2021. This is the second year running that the company has clinched this title. “Property Development Institute won this award last year against some quality competition,” Steven enthuses. “We are honoured to have done so again this year and look forward to further innovation in our training courses in the coming year.” Contact: Steven Chandler Company: Property Development Institute Pty Ltd Website: www.propertydevelopmentinstitute.com Property Development Institute Pty Ltd
