Real Estate Development Coach Blog

Hello Colm Dillon here ...

Passion is a much used word these days ... putting my passion where my mouth is, my real estate development passion has continued for over 30 years and is $1.2 Billion HIGH.

Living on the fruits of one's development labor is great BUT it's just not enough.

The relaxed lifestyle is fantastic, BUT for a thinking individual ... it's just not enough!

So four years ago I decided to train a few people how to be real estate developers and now I've taught individuals in 106 countries how to become wealthy in their own terms.

That's individual people in every State of the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and a stack of other places now developing multi million dollar projects.

I teach them through the only Courses in the world written by a real life developer:

* Residential Real Estate Development Made Easy Edition 2.

* Commercial Real Estate Development Made Easy.

* Land Subdivision Development Made Easy.

PLUS Two Day Real Estate Development Workshops in Australia - United States - Canada.

So this blog is all about real estate development ... that's Residential & Commercial & Land Subdivision Development; just like my Courses.

So if you want to increase you knowledge and development skills in real estate development from a real developer and not just someone who talks about it, just click on that orange button and subscribe to this RSS feed.

Bye,

Colm K Dillon

Apr 29, 2008, Las Vegas Real Estate Development Workshop At Trump a "Sell Out"

Real Estate Development Coach Colm Dillon announced today that his Development Workshop at the Las Vegas Trump International Hotel & Tower is a complete 'Sell Out' well over a month before the unique event takes place on June 6 - 8, 2008.

People are travelling from Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States to attend this unique teaching workshop so that they can learn how professional developers successfully create and develop their wealth creating projects.

Many attendees are bringing their families and partners who will enjoy the magnificent 64 level, 620 feet high, Trump International Hotel & Tower which opened on March 31, 2008, while they spend two days workshopping with billion dollar developer Colm Dillon.

On the third day of this unique weekend Colm Dillon has organized an inspection of the hotel from the basement to the roof; a unique behind the scenes inspection of Donald Trump's latest development in joint venture with billion dollar real estate developer and manufacturer Phil Ruffin.

The hotel executive director, Steve Shalit, and building construction manager will lead the building tour with a sense of great pride knowing they are showing the best in design, construction and luxurious residential living to a development group who will return to their home States inspired from walking in the footsteps of giants in the development field.

Colm Dillon said that it is so rewarding to be able to pass on his development knowledge to the next generation of developers giving them a head start against their opposition; knowledge that is used every day by people like Donald Trump, Phil Ruffin and Colm Dillon.

The workshop is jam packed covering in detail the entire residential, commercial and land subdivision development procedure and processes from a real 'how you do it' correctly the first time. So forget theory says Dillon, this is all about what you actually do 'now' to move your development forward.

Dec 31, 2007, Residential Real Estate Development in Mexico?


Question: Do you have any thoughts or advice on residential real estate development in Mexico?

Answer: After you have studied and thought about the contents of my course you will appreciate that local research, as I teach you to do, it will not let you get into development for SEVERAL months from the time you arrive in Mexico.

The more facts you have from your real estate development research the more risk you control. I know this next part may sound provocative, but as you’re a finance guy, you can handle hard talking.

So here it is.

If you and I were to go head to head developing the same product in P who would be the more successful? That means more profitable and finished earlier.

Now you should know that is not my ego talking here; it is just that I have done the study, the research work and right now you have not. This is the difference between a Pro and anybody else.

Right now in every city in the world there is someone doing what you want to do. That means that right now you have at least one competitor in the city in which you plan to develop. That must put him or her ahead of the game as far a you are concerned. How are you going to catch up.

Well my Course is a great start and then:

RESEARCH is your byword; and that should bring you closer to his or her current operating level in real estate development.

You MUST MUST MUST not get into any business until the home work is done; and real estate development is a business. I am sure you know this already; BUT just in case you don’t I feel that I should ram the point home. My course teaches you how to go about this work in detail.

Last point: always remember you are not developing an apartment complex for YOU to buy. You are always developing a product for what the market wants to buy. By definition, that means that you must know what the market wants and expects in P in exact detail.

None of what I have just written is revolutionary or new to you; in fact it is basic, but ask me how many people in the world do it?

Now ask me how many people write to me after they have not done it and are in trouble.

This business is easy when you know what to do, so please spend time learning and thinking. You’ll find that the action part flows much better.

If you have other questions please go to my home page and click on FAQ and ask. That way my answers to faq help more people than just one.

Real Estate Development Workshops


WOW ... is all I can say to how you responded to the workshop announcement.

California, and LA in particular, is over 60% reserved already, with Atlanta, Chicago and Denver registrations growing every day.

I have also received a stack of single registrations for one city, so maybe those will have to travel to a larger location.

There is a limit of 40 people who can attend each workshop, so that we can get down to the individual level and not this 500 to a room type of seminar ... not my style.

My emphasis is on the "teaching" rather than the numbers through the door. So if you're serious about real estate development it might be a good idea to book a seat. I don't know if I'll be doing this kind of tour again.

I am the only developer who has ever written teachinbg courses on Commercial, Residential and Land Subduivision Development, so that should tell you how much information there is around ... on the web or in libraries.

Office Building Photo Gallery


Anyone who is really into development is also into photos of buildings ... so I have decided to create a special photo gallery for office builodings that really "turn you on."

I explain what is behind this idea on the link to the special page. But in essence a photo only "comes to life" if there is a personal story attached to it.

So that is why this gallery will be different ... I don't just want a photo, I want a story as to how the the building links with you life.

Do you work in the building; do you repair or maintain it; do you pass it and admire it's shape, style or strength; does it bring history into your daily life; did it impact you on your travels or do you know someone who loves working in it?

The fact is we spend a lot of time working in these buildings and it is important to record our feelings for the creators of new developments the fact that buildings impact our lives in many ways.

So get that 'camera working' and then bring it to life with your story.

Dec 29, 2007, Real Estate Development "Questions & Answers"


Over the last four years I have been asked and answered hundred's of questions on real estate development, buying land, getting finance, how to put a development deal together; you name it ... its been asked and answered!

The problem is I did not keep all these real estate development Q & A's.

So I searched long and hard in my files and compiled a list of Q & A's and have created a special page on my site for all question you may have.

This page will be like a Library, where anyone can visit and research BUT also ask a question or make a comment on development issues.

So go to it!

If you have an issue that you are wrestling with, so may someone else ... this way my answer gets sent to many people.

Have a read of my first contribution and see if they help you out.

Dec 15, 2007, 2008 Australia - Us - Canada Workshop Tour


I've decided to do my first Real Estate Development "Workshop Tour" of Australia, the United States and Canada in 2008.

The Brisbane workshop took place in September 2007 and was successful and as I received a very positive response from attendees I decided to do more.

My Workshops Will be Different:

Difference No. 1

There is a limit of 40 on the individual numbers who can attend each workshop as each will be very "hands on" with individuals questions, problems and even actual developments discussed if that is what attendees want.

So my workshops will not be 500 packed into a room; I don't believe that is a real learning environment.

Difference No. 2

No Media Advertising - The public are not interested in learning how to develop real estate; only specifice individuals are.

I am only interested in those individuals - not "the crowd."

Media advertising costs a packet and increases the costs of attending. So 'word of mouth' to people you know in your circle is the way to make this happen in a major City near you.

Difference No. 3

To be successful real developers must always provide what the market wants.

I will only provide workshops in cities where there is sufficient demand.

So I am taking "Registrations of Interest" only at this stage for Melbourne; Perth; the US and Canada.

Registrations are going reall well with California leading the way with 50% of the seats registered in a few days.

Difference No. 4

I have set up a special link communication for those who register now so that they will know on a weekly basis how many have registered in a City Near Them!

Firm Bookings with Deposits are being taken for both:

Australia workshop that start in Sydney on 23 - 24 February 2008

And the Adelaide Workshop will be on 4 - 5 April 2008
