Can you subdivide your property and more importantly, should you?

In Part 1 of the Land Subdivision Masterclass, Andrew Wright sits down with property developer and Unemployable Property founder Carson Bolt to break down the due diligence that should happen before buying or subdividing a development site.

From zoning and minimum lot sizes to sewer connections, stormwater, slope, power lines and feasibility studies, Carson explains why a site that looks profitable on paper can quickly become an expensive mistake.

Drawing on his own projects and lessons from developers he mentors, Carson also explains why your town planner can be one of the most valuable people on your development team and why sometimes the best deal is the one you walk away from.

In this episode:

• How to determine whether land can actually be subdivided
• Why zoning is only the beginning of your due diligence
• How to establish your subdivision “deal box”
• Why Carson recommends reverse-engineering successful developments
• Minimum lot sizes and how they affect subdivision potential
• The site constraints beginners commonly overlook
• Why sewer, stormwater, slope and utilities can destroy a feasibility
• How to compare different development and exit strategies
• Why a detailed feasibility is essential before going unconditional
• The costly mistakes Andrew and Carson have made and what they learned from them
• Why starting with a smaller subdivision can be a smarter way to learn

If you're considering your first land subdivision or property development, this episode gives you a practical framework for deciding whether a potential site deserves a closer look or whether you should walk away.
