* This episode was archived June 2019 and is only available for subscribers Are online real estate agents going to take over the property industry and render bricks and mortar/high street agents or realtors redundant? No, of course not. Not all businesses can be replaced by the internet although they can be disrupted to the point where established business models need to be updated and adapted or simply people need to provide more value or demonstrate and sell their value better.

* This episode was archived June 2019 and is only available for subscribers I deal with Higher level thinking including yoga, the pursuit of god, conscious, subconscious, superconscious thinking, higher level thinking, female goddess, male energies, female energies, the squashing of female energies throughout history, and how all this feeds into the modern construction and property industry including social development and inclusive behaviors in our society. If you don't get a lot of this then it doesn't matter how much money you earn in construction or wealth you grow in property, all the work will be for naught. Good food for though and make contact on social media if you have any comments :) As always support the podcast on patreon or buy a book or buy a course and please leave an itunes review if possible. Any questions please contact and I can make a podcast episode or youtube video on it Enjoy Sam Instagram: www.instagram.com/thepropertydevelopmentcourse Facebook: www.facebook.com/thepropertydevelop

* This episode was archived June 2019 and is only available for subscribers Sam talks Hoover Dam conception, construction, workforce abuse and legacy. Hoover dam was created to control the mighty Colorado river which constantly flooded and to provide irrigation water for the west of America. It was paid for by creating electricity using this massive dam and accompany hydro-electrical station It was built using a competitive tender process and the cheapest tender won. The building contractor, a consortium of building contractors ruthlessly exploited the desperate great depression manual labour pool. They hired Frank Crowe a very talented engineer who in my opinion tarnished any legacy he had by working the men in terrible conditions including tunnels full of carbon monoxide and 365 days per year working. Complain and you don't have a job. Hope he enjoyed his massive bonus before he died eleven years later. Is the money worth it? And the workers? How desperate do you have to be? Did they need to go to nearby l

* This episode was archived June 2019 and is only available for subscribers Frederich and Elizabeth Trump were the parents of Fred Trump and their story from a draft deserting young german setting off to the USA to make his fortune in the gold rush, not by digging for gold but selling stuff to the diggers saw the start of a great american story of the accumulation of wealth. I chart this rise as well as looking at how to get rid of annoying people in construction, why the construction industry needs to set higher prices for better service and why you should all find your version of scubadiving Any questions just say hi on social media or email details below.

It was a property fund which raised 13million euros from small investors. There were 700 investors, the three co-founders invested 600,000 each so that suggests an average investment of 16,000 each. The non-executive directors were Hobbs and senior counsel Dermot Flanagan, while its executive directors were former Deloitte corporate financier Hugh O’Neill and developer Vincent Regan, its managing director. It was called Brendan Investments Pan European Property (bipep) and managed by brendan investments plc who were the four investors who were getting a 1% fee.

* This episode was archived June 2019 and is only available for subscribers I always thought I didn't like Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs because he seemed to be a man of privilege finding his way into a cushy presenting job of a popular national tv show. But the more I watched of him in video I realised this was my prejudice and the more I watch of the guy the more I realise he is just a normal human being who enjoys design and construction and isn't really into the construction or commercial side of things. Its easy to look at a figure 'from the tv' and label them. I come from the commercial side of construction, property development and investment but I do love design and I enjoy watch Kevin's iconic program 'Grand Designs' I take a quick look at Kevin's life and the content of the show and look at its affect on the middle class in the UK making them desire a certain lifestyle that maybe should be well beyond their reach. I like the show and it's structure but I do wonder whether lots of people who shou

* This episode was archived June 2019 and is only available for subscribers Hi Guys, Its podcast time! Today I am looking at what happens when you buy a house and it is full of defects like leaky taps, unfinished paths and holes in doors!
