Jim J Davidson is an experienced property developer, business owner and mentor with decades of real-world experience in property development, land acquisition, planning gain, project management, business growth and property investment.
After decades in business and property development, Jim saw too many people overpaying for land, taking unnecessary risks, following poor advice, losing money on developments - and thinking development was only for wealthy people.
Having experienced both major success and significant setbacks, Jim brings a level of honesty and practical insight rarely found in the property industry.
He wrote this book to show people there is a better way. And that with the right education, systems and strategy - property development becomes far more achievable than most people think.
