In this episode of The Andrew Wright Property Podcast, Andrew sits down with developer and builder Paul Younan to break down the three numbers that make or break every property development deal and why getting them wrong can cost you hundreds of thousands.

This isn’t theory. It’s a real-world look at how experienced developers assess deals before they commit and the simple framework Paul uses across his own projects to avoid costly mistakes.

If you’ve ever looked at a site and wondered “does this actually stack up?” this episode gives you the lens to answer that with confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The 3 critical numbers every developer must get right (and how to calculate them)
• Why most investors overestimate end values and underestimate costs
• How to run a simple but effective feasibility before buying a site
• The biggest mistakes developers make when relying on “back-of-the-envelope” deals
• How construction experience gives Paul an edge in identifying real margins vs risky deals

Every development deal comes down to three numbers, buy price, build cost, and end value.

If those don’t stack up with a margin for error, it’s not a deal… it’s a risk.

In this episode of The Andrew Wright Property Podcast, Andrew sits down with Brad Beer, founder of BMT Tax Depreciation, to break down one of the most overlooked ways property investors can improve after-tax cash flow. If you own an investment property and you’re not claiming depreciation properly, you could be leaving thousands of dollars on the table every year.

Brad explains what a tax depreciation schedule actually is, why accountants often need a specialist quantity surveyor to calculate it properly, and how depreciation applies across both residential and commercial property. They also unpack the difference between plant and equipment and capital works, the impact of post-2017 rule changes, why renovations can create additional deductions through scrapping, and how a simple schedule can make a major difference to borrowing capacity and portfolio growth.

Andrew also shares his own experience using depreciation schedules across his portfolio, including examples where first-year deductions ran into tens of thousands of dollars. Whether you own one investment property or you’re building a larger portfolio, this episode shows why tax depreciation is not just an accounting detail, it’s a serious cash flow tool.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What a tax depreciation schedule is and why it matters
• Why your accountant may not be maximising your deductions without a quantity surveyor
• The difference between plant and equipment and capital works
• How depreciation can improve your after-tax cash flow
• Why even older properties may still qualify for valuable deductions
• How renovations and “scrapping” can create additional tax benefits
• What changed after 2017 for residential investors
• Why depreciation can also play a role in development feasibility and finance

What if you could secure 10 acres of industrial land with almost no money down and no bank finance at all?

In this episode of The Andrew Wright Property Podcast, Andrew breaks down a creative property deal in regional Queensland where he secured 10.3 acres of land in Longreach with just a $1,000 deposit, using vendor finance and a strategic joint venture structure with his two children.

The purchase price was $285,000, but the structure is what makes this deal interesting. With banks unwilling to lend on vacant regional land with no income, Andrew negotiated seller finance at 5% interest, allowing the deal to move forward without traditional lending.

From there, the strategy becomes a value-add play: applying for development approval to convert the site’s Industrial Investigation zoning into usable industrial land.

In this episode we unpack:

• How the $1,000 deposit vendor finance structure was negotiated
• Why banks wouldn’t finance the property and how to work around it
• The strategy behind using a unit trust joint venture with family members
• Preserving first home buyer eligibility while investing in commercial property
• Why the land’s Industrial Investigation zoning creates future upside
• The potential development strategies, including truck parking depots, industrial outdoor storage, and staged land subdivision
• Managing environmental registers, highway access requirements, and state government approvals
• Why difficult properties often present the best opportunities for investors willing to solve problems

Andrew also shares the bigger mindset lesson behind the deal: sometimes the best opportunities appear when traditional finance disappears. When banks say no, creative structuring, vendor finance, and partnerships can unlock deals most investors never even consider.

This episode is a practical look at creative property finance, development strategy, and long-term value creation through industrial land.

• Why this site near the Warrego Highway stood out
• How pre-leasing reduces development risk
• Why compacted gravel beats concrete (for now)
• How a $800–900K spend could create $1M+ in equity
