    Brilliant course. Paid for itself within the first 30 mins. Material is presented in a clear and concise manner and I expect is easily accessible for beginners as well as valuable for more experienced developers looking to expand skills.
    Anton has been very active in responding to email queries and so, for me, the online format is superior to in class as I prefer to take my time with the subject matter and conduct secondary research as I go. The ability to re-watch certain parts of the videos is also a benefit.
    I would recommend this course even at double the price.

    I purchased this course knowing absolutely nothing about property development. This course teaches absolute basics about development finances, structures that you need to be aware of, how to look for properties and do your feasibility study as well as how to crunch your numbers. The best part is the last episode that brings this all together and shows the process on a real-life example including crunching numbers. I personally found it to be great material for me as a beginner. It also keeps me motivated to study and learn more.
    Big thank you for this course!
