Some of our favourite quotes from the show:
”I got involved in property development in the 1980s, and I made lots and lots of mistakes, but a rising market carried me through. If you make those mistakes in today’s current flatter market, you’re going to get yourself into real financial trouble.” – Michael Yardney 
“Getting through is the hard bit – you’ve got to have the financial buffers, but once you get to the end, it’s surprisingly easy to hold onto the completed development. And then, you profit from the strong cash flow and capital growth over the long term.” –Bryce Yardney
“The more inexperienced you are, the more unsure you are, the bigger contingency you have to allow the bigger the risk margin you have to allow, because you’ve got to assume you’re wrong.” – Bryce Yardney
