Listen "EP 95: What To Do When Your Builder Goes Bankrupt"
Episode Synopsis
Listen and Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube When it comes to building a home, one of the most important steps is to know the risk associated with your builder. While it is common for builders to go bankrupt in the good times, it can be even more devastating if it happens in the bad times. It is important to be aware of the risks associated with any builder and to take steps to mitigate them. When choosing a builder, it is important to do research. Ask for references and read reviews. Make sure the builder is licensed and insured. Ask questions about their experience and the types of projects they have completed. It is also important to ask about their financial situation. Knowing the builder's financial health can help you determine whether they are at risk of bankruptcy. In this week's episode, Bob and Hilary talk about what to do when your builder goes bankrupt. They discuss why more building companies go bankrupt, what questions to ask potential builders and the importance of speaking with a lawyer to know and understand the legal implications of a builder going bankrupt. So if you’ve found yourself in this type of situation or you are looking for ways to avoid ending up in a situation like this, you won't want to miss this week’s episode! _______________________________________________ Our FREE 4 hour Masterclass is on April 22nd at 9am (AEST).

About Bob Andersen: Bob Andersen (known in the property industry as “The Deal Maker”) is a Property enigma. When it comes to creating financial freedom for his followers, his “thinking” is refreshingly simple. He has the ability to make the seemingly complicated, uncomplicated. Bob has changed the lives of so many people by training them to use property development as a vehicle to build substantial cashflow and long term wealth. This in turn, has given them control over their lives and a lifestyle they could previously only dream about. It has been said that Bob has created more property millionaires in Australia than any other educator / mentee out there through his highly acclaimed property development courses. Thank goodness for Bob! Because there are way too many so-called Property education experts out there. Several, even past students, have ‘borrowed’ Bob’s material in an attempt to ‘be Bob’. As Bob says, “I must have done something right, but you can’t ‘borrow’ over 35 years of experience and over $1 billion worth of projects spread across all states of Australia and in all stages of the property cycle”.
