The Role & Expectations
As a property investor and developer, you spot chances to buy a building or piece of land, improve it, and make money from it. You look at where places are being built, what people need, and which areas are growing. You then work out whether a project will make money before you invest in it.
Your work is very varied. You might spend time looking at buildings and checking if they're a good buy, then you negotiate prices with sellers. Once you own something, you plan what to do with it - maybe build new houses, renovate an old office, or turn a factory into flats. You manage contractors and architects, watch costs, and make sure the project finishes on time and in budget.
