The Property Development Fast Track workshop is an intensive three-day virtual workshop for those looking to ‘fast track’ their route into property development.

It’s aimed at investors, business owners, property professionals, and anyone looking to make the transition out of a job or career and into the world of property development
It’s also for landlords wanting to supercharge their portfolio growth by using small-scale property developments to fund their deposits
The workshop is geared to those looking to get into development quickly, those who may have already embarked on a development journey but who need more support, and those wanting to have a thorough overview of development before embarking on additional, more focused training

I joined the Property Development 3 day Fast Track Workshop with a view to see how we can move our property business forward from single lets and HMO’s. Now after the 3 days and a day to absorb it I’m completely blown away with the content and delivery. I can’t believe the depth we’ve been able to go through in just 3 days and highlighted for me so many shortcomings of the way we have been doing things and now we know, we’ll be doing things very differently on the next projects we’ve got lined up.

The workshop has enabled me to overcome my own mindset hurdles to move our business to the next level. It has opened my eyes up to so many potential opportunities and the level of due diligence required to ensure that we mitigate as many of the risks upfront. I feel re-energized by putting on paper our 5-year plan and focusing on why we need to do this.

Thank you to Ian and Ritchie and the team for going above and beyond and answering every single question I and other people had throughout the workshop!

Highly Exclusive

On this 3-day virtual workshop you will get to meet the two founders of propertyCEO, Ritchie Clapson and Ian Child in person, who bring together over 75 years of property and business experience.

You'll also spend some time with two highly experienced members of the propertyCEO team. Colin Smith is one of the UK's most experienced planning consultants with an unparalleled knowledge of Permitted Development rights and an ability to navigate planning laws to maximise development opportunities. The workshop will be hosted by Dan Nelson who is an established property developer and land assembly expert with an enviable track record in this sector.

The workshop is highly exclusive, with limited availability at each event. This ensures we can get to know students personally and answer everyone’s questions, something that would be difficult in a larger group.

This is currently the ONLY training workshop that Ritchie and Ian participate in outside of their flagship Mentorship Programme - so be sure to take FULL advantage!

However, please note that this workshop comes with the following health warning:

Property development is not a get-rich-quick occupation, and while it can create life-changing wealth, this necessarily takes time, hard work, perseverance, and skill. Like all wealth-creation strategies, it also carries a degree of risk. Please do NOT attend the workshop unless you are prepared to put in the necessary work needed to get results.

Colin Smith

He is an integral part of propertyCEO's technical coaching team and works with propertyCEO's students to help them maximise their profits while navigating the planning system as effectively as possible.

An acknowledged expert on Permitted Development rights, Colin prides himself on finding solutions where most other planners cannot - as you'll discover if you work with propertyCEO!

But avoiding the pitfalls is only half the story - the other massive benefit of training lies in being able to see opportunity where others can't. Avoiding problems can SAVE you money, but being able to spot opportunities can MAKE you money.

Our focus was always on students getting started on their first development, rather than simply adding another training manual to their bookshelf.

That meant a lot of one-to-one time, a great deal of content, and the creation of a complete end-to-end training package covering every aspect of development. It also meant helping students develop their business skills as well as fine-tuning their mindset to help remove things that were getting in the way.

This has evolved into our Mentorship Programme, which has gone from strength to strength, to become what we believe is the finest coaching programme of its type, anywhere.

However, we recognised that, while the Mentorship Programme can get amazing results for students, it's also a big commitment. Not everyone has the time, money, or appetite to commit.

Plus, some people feel they already have enough information to get started in development. What they need is some highly focused training that just covers the key areas that will make the biggest difference to them.

So, that's when we decided to create the Property Development Fast Track Workshop. We've taken the key areas where we believe we can add the most value to developers who are looking to get started, and put it into a highly interactive format delivered over just 3 days.

And of course, we recognised that some people want to see for themselves how good our training is before making a commitment to be trained by us. So we made sure that:

the Fast Track Workshop comes with a 100% money-back guarantee
its content has been designed to be the ideal introduction to the Mentorship Programme, so they are a perfect fit

So what exactly are these key skills that we teach budding developers on the Fast Track Workshop?

Well, we cover six of the most important aspects of development:

Learn where to find the best deals and how to analyse them
Discover how and where to find the money needed to fund development projects
Learn how to get credibility, so that agents, lenders, private investors, and professionals all take you seriously from the outset
Understand the property development process; not only what's involved but also how you can avoid the many pitfalls
Learn the 8 Pillar framework so that you can adopt it for your own business
Learn to think outside the box, so you can see profit and opportunity where others can't

We made it a workshop where students are ACTIVELY involved, and not just watching from the sidelines. That's why we keep the numbers deliberately low. This is all about QUALITY and not QUANTITY.

We also include practical tools that you can use to great effect when hunting for deals. Deal analysers, workbooks, and templates - all designed to make your deal hunting easier and quicker.

PLUS we help you create a personal roadmap for the next stage of your journey, whether that be with propertyCEO or on your own.

propertyCEO's Fast Track 3-day course is exactly what it claims to be: a well-rounded, super-packed, and fairly intensive overview of some of the key dimensions of property development. Unlike other property training courses I've undertaken, all questions were answered as the course progressed and there were no holds barred i.e. this training is about a real development journey, warts and all ('no-nonsense'). Ritchie and Ian's combined knowledge and experience are second to none and this shines through the entire 3 days. The provision of an actual physical workbook through the post was a nice touch as well. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this Fast Track training course for anyone interested in getting involved in property development.

So, there are lots of potential opportunities in development right now.

But there are also a lot of people that are turning to development because they NEED to take action due to what’s happened over the past two years:

The financial future for many people looks increasingly bleak. Many have little in the way of a pension, and they’ve no easy way to build up a financial ‘war-chest’ to see them through later life. And the current cost of living crisis certainly isn't helping
Landlords have seen themselves taxed and regulated like never before, and many need to find an additional way of growing their portfolios and their income
People’s jobs are no longer safe. COVID-19 and the recession combined will see many businesses fail, and unemployment figures look set to rise significantly
Many people simply want to live a less stressful life; they are fed up with the current uncertainty and want to create a separate income stream that gives them both a better life and a financial safety net

For others, it may be a case of working smarter when it comes to making money. As many investors have discovered, relying on stocks and shares to create wealth can be a roller-coaster ride, whereas it’s difficult for a piece of land to have its value wiped out.

Property development is also a highly leveraged model. What does this mean?

It means that developers act as the ‘CEO’ of their businesses – they don’t design houses or lay bricks themselves
Instead, they build an experienced team of professionals around them who do the lion’s share of the work
Developers DO need to create the business, find deals and raise finance
However, the key skills they require are ones many people already have; organisational skills, management skills, people skills, and decision-making skills

In fact, most people already use these skills daily in their everyday lives.

And with simple, small-scale development projects producing six-figure profits, it’s no wonder that many people are turning to development as a way of shoring up their future and building a financial safety net.

And for many, the impact will be life-changing.

I was slightly wary going into this course, due to the bad press/industry views on “just another property course” with hard up-sell at the end. I could not have been any more wrong! You guys are in a totally different bracket altogether.

Having left the course, I feel certainly somewhat exposed with my lack of knowledge in this field (this is good awareness). This is a direct result of the way you highlighted the amount we need to know and the potential consequences (losses) if one chooses to go into these types of systems un-educated. As you highlighted through the course; I now simply know what I do not know!

Again, once again, thank you so much for an amazing three days – Fantastic!

FAQs

Where is the event being held?

It's a virtual workshop so you'll be joining from the comfort of your own home via your laptop, desktop, or device.

How many people will be at the workshop?

We restrict the numbers so that we can have a direct relationship with each student, have time to answer everyone's questions, and also help each student create his or her personal roadmap. Note that the format is a virtual meeting where we can all see and interact with each other, as opposed to a webinar.

Will I be learning actionable content at the workshop, or will I need to do your Mentorship Programme in order to get the good stuff?

Ok, here's the deal. We're not able to teach you EVERY facet of property development in just 3 days. But we CAN give you highly actionable content that will help you find deals, secure finance, help you gain credibility as a developer, and ensure that you leave with a comprehensive understanding of how to be successful in property development. For many people that's exactly the information they need to move forward - they aren't looking for any further training. For others, this workshop will not only help them understand what's involved in development, it will also allow them to assess whether they need further help in order to maximise their chances of success.

Will I get a workbook?

Yes, we aim to send out hard copy workbooks around 3-5 days ahead of the event

How does the Fast Track Workshop integrate with your Mentorship Programme?

Some people may already feel that they have enough information to get into development straight away, in which case the Fast Track workshop is the perfect starting point for them. For others, the Mentorship Programme offers the best solution due to the sheer depth of content and support it provides. But we've designed the Fast Track workshop to complement the Mentorship Programme so that graduates of the workshop will gain a massive head start should they decide to enrol.

I'm interested in the Mentorship programme; what exactly does it cover?

"Comprehensive" barely does it justice. You can access full details HERE.

What if I find the workshop isn't for me, or I don't like the way you teach?

We want you to attend this event with ZERO risk. So, if you get to the half-way point of the workshop and feel that it's not for you, then simply let us know and we will give you a full refund. All we ask is that you return to us any course materials that we've sent you.

When are they? Choose from 23/24/25 January or 20/21/22 February 2025 inclusive
Where is it? It's 100% virtual - join in LIVE from home or work on your laptop/desktop
Who will be training me? The workshop sessions will be delivered by four trainers; the two founders of propertyCEO, Ritchie Clapson and Ian Child, plus Colin Smith and Dan Nelson
Is there a money-back guarantee? Yes, you'll get a FULL REFUND if you cancel at any time up to lunchtime on the second day of the workshop

A Brief History...

Why NOW Is The Time...

We’ve recently experienced a series of events that have dramatically changed the world of development, as well as dramatically increasing the appeal of development as a wealth-creation tool:

A Perfect Storm?

LOWER PRICES

The recession will inevitably force down non-residential property prices

CHANGING WORK PATTERNS

These will require different types of property

PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS

Increased rights to develop without full planning permission

PLANNING REFORM

Which should make the planning process much simpler

A Better Future

The Power Of Leverage
