Money Chats Ep 33 (with Brenden Lowbridge)

In this episode, Sam and Brendan break down the real financial journey of a development project—from buying land to securing construction finance and managing interest costs. Using a $2 million duplex example, they explore the equity requirements, borrowing strategies, and key timing factors that can make or break a deal.

They discuss the importance of working with a builder early, understanding valuations, and avoiding costly surprises from lenders or rising build costs. Plus, they reveal why delays can eat heavily into profits and how to model interest during construction to stay on track.

Packed with practical insights, this episode is a must-listen for first-time and experienced developers alike.
