Property development

My brother and i are looking into property development.
Does anyone know if there are there any sites that offer cheap houses for sale that need doing up?
If not where is the best place to start looking?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

such sites dont exist. Anyone in the trade with knowledge of good deals will pass them to people they know for a cut. If you find a site selling bargain houses, its probaby really selling 'problem' houses and making the owner a fortune.

I knew a guy who would buy the large houses in student areas, convert to bedsites and then sell to people to rent to students. He had dedicated teams of builders and a full time mortgage broker who could sort finance for anyone, needless to say he's now a multi millionaire. This is where money is in property, too many people are trying property development in the mundane sense. As millemg says, the days of easy money are long gone!

i made two offers on my plot ,both were rejected so i did some snooping and contacted the seller direct,he knew nothing about my offers and it looked like the agent was sitiing on the site for a builder mate of his to develop it together. there is a real network between agents and developers ,
