The Hidden Risks In Commercial Property Development

from Unemployable Property · host Unemployable Property

Everyone says childcare centres just print money. The guy with 8 of them says that's the lie that wrecks people.Jay Luckie went from carrying bonnets across a garage floor to 8 childcare centres and $85M in developments. In this one he opens the books: how cap rates actually decide if you win or lose, how an $8.5M profit collapsed to $500K because of council delays and rate rises, and why "bigger is better" is the mistake sinking new operators. No spruiking, no fantasy numbers. Just what the deals really look like when humans, councils and the banks get involved.📩 Got a development site, JV, or finder's fee opportunity?
