I’m pleased to announce Massland’s River Hills Development is very close to completion.
Despite the rain in south east Queensland over the past few months, our capable builders have managed to stay on track and have maintained their high standard of construction.
In the coming weeks the development will be completed and the keys handed over to twelve very happy Massland investors. One of the townhouses will stay in my personal portfolio as I am a firm believer in keeping assets and measuring your wealth by your holdings. I practice what I teach – and I’m excited about being a landlord alongside Massland graduates.

Mark and the Massland Team are thrilled to announce another fantastic development that will break ground this year – Liberty on Loganlea.
This strategic site is in the heart on a rapidly growing demographic that is close to hospitals, schools, universities and freeways. It will boost 44 townhouses and are a sensational product for investors and home owners alike. With quality finishes and community amenities such as a pool and bbq area and an assortment of two and three bedroom townhouses - half the project has already been sold!
The site was Optioned by Massland with DA approval being granted this week. It will be constructed by Massland later this year with many savvy investors already securing their townhouses ahead of time.
Mark Rolton explains how Massland put this fabulous development together…
Mark Rolton heads to the River Hills Development – one of Massland’s current projects - to check on progress for Massland Investors.

With so many years experience in the building industry, Mark Rolton knows how Option strategic sites and project manage developments to exacting standards.

An update from Mark
Mark will continue to bring updates on the River Hills project as they occur and congratulations to the intelligent investors who will soon count this stellar project as one of their own.
I really admire the old saying “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”
It’s a powerful way of saying by sharing knowledge and guiding people you can change their lives and finances for the better – which is exactly what happens to our Real Estate University graduates.
He only attended our event at the end of last year and has already put together his first deal – which will bank him a whopping $310,900!
Cameron loved the idea of Splitters – in his words ‘a good little profit spinner but most importantly a great source of education‘. He went forth and put together a deal on a large block of land that he’ll subdivide into two blocks. He’ll renovate the front house and build a new house on the back block – then sell both. Double the profits!
For those who are already saying I don't have the time - Cameron manages his own bathroom renovation company and finds it hard to find the time to scratch himself too! But for him it's a priority and he's making it happen.
Real Estate University has so many graduate success stories – here is another….
My name is Mathew and I have recently signed up my first Property Option deal. My passion has always been property and having actively invested in property whilst trying other strategies I was searching for a way to create cash flow out of property.
Step 1: Getting Started
After attending the Success Summit Seminar at which Mark was a surprise speaker, I knew I had found what I was looking for. The knowledge Mark has in property is unbelievable! I attended the 3 day Property Options weekend and immersed myself into the content. With so many different ways to create cash flow I was unsure where to start at the beginning. It took me a while to find my feet and pick which strategy to use.
Step 2: Find the Deal
After choosing my sector of Residential land, I started searching for deals and calling owners. I sent out letters and even door knocked on occasions. I had many face to face negotiations that didn’t amount to anything but knew I was gaining experience from them. The support from Massland is also fantastic as they helped me along the way. After a period of time I found a site of 30 acres and after 3 negotiations had my first HOA signed! It could fit 128 house sites on it.
Step 3: Choosing the Right Strategy – Residential Short Option
I found this to be challenging as there were so many to choose from and I didn’t know where to start. I was thinking of starting with splitters but knew I always wanted to do larger subdivisions. I decided to start with optioning properties using the JV model with Massland. I live in a regional town and starting looking for larger parcels of land to subdivide into house blocks. I optioned 30 acres of land which can be subdivided into 128 blocks of 700m2. It will make a great new estate for the developer I sell it to!
Step 4: Know the Numbers
Knowing the numbers is very important as they can change so much, especially council contributions. I had many conversations with council and real estate agents to complete my feasibility before my negotiations. I’m very excited about the handsome profit at this stage in the deal; however the best part is…… now I know how to do it.
Massland’s latest townhouse development is rapidly taking shape and right on schedule for completion for it’s investors.
Mark Rolton CEO of Massland, was on site this week for a meeting to check construction and progress. The development, in Brisbane’s rapidly growing south-east corner, has 12 townhouses and was originally optioned by a Real Estate University graduate. The graduate made a tidy profit and instead of on selling it to a developer, Massland made the decision to built it themselves and share the project with their investors.
This development ticks all the boxes for a stellar investment! It’s in a high growth area with a constant demand for rental properties, it’s close to the Freeway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, it’s right in the hub of shops and schools and finally is close to hospitals and Universities. This area will value rapidly in the coming years and Massland’s investors will be the direct beneficiaries.
Best of all 12 lucky investors are able to add an absolute gem of a property to their portfolio!
Matt and Kylie allow us into the not always glamorous world of Property Options and running your own real estate company!
Crazy kids, school runs and pyjamas caught on camera – are all part of the fun! Real life people making it work!
Kylie shares a momentous day in their company’s history – employing a new office manager that will also take on the role of Property Manager! It will be the first non family member to be employed by the company and shows the rapid progress they are making.
Most importantly, it will allow Kylie more time to focus on helping Matt with research, to find more potential Option sites. They will now be able to work together more closely, churn through more deals and find the gems which are out there. It will allow Matt more time to meet face to face with property owners and discuss the possibility of optioning their properties.
Donna continues to search for a great location to relocate the front house from the Kirawee block. It needs to be moved to make way for the DA approved duplex they are planning to build this year.
Donna is north of Sydney sourcing properties and in true Donna style is not just looking for a boring piece of land – but one that has potential for more subdivision and another deal!This woman’s brain never sleeps!
Donna made an offer on one of the blocks and her offer has been accepted! It’s a fantastic day for the Mawsons!
It goes without saying that Donna asked for a significant discount on the property and a 6 month settlement as she very much follows Mark’s thinking on purchasing property. You make your money on the buy! That way, when you sell, you will realize a profit regardless of the market!
The block has the potential to be subdivided into five separate lots of one acre each. A nice little subdivision with the potential for a very tidy profit.
Brilliant news Donna! A big step forward in her Project 1 Plan!
It’s a project Massland is incredibly excited about, as it began it’s life as a graduate deal.Chris, a Massland graduate, found the deal in Eagleby and negotiated an option with the former owner. The deal was so incredible that Massland decided not to onsell to a developer, but to become the developer themselves! The result is a fabulous townhouse project developed by Massland – a brilliant outcome for Brian and the team.
All the necessary Development Approvals, Building Approvals and Operational Works were sourced by Massland and ground broke on construction just before Christmas with the demolition completed and foundations being laid. Over the coming months 12 double storey townhouses will be built on the site. The foundations of three slabs have been poured with each slab housing 4 townhouses.
Massland prides itself on completing successful Development Approvals, as it constantly strives to understand the councils’ needs in their particular region. Massland then taylor their development approvals in the form of solutions to council, which results in a stunning record of 100% success rate on development approvals.
Recently a council in Queensland was so impressed with Massland’s professional approval application and the manner in which they conducted themselves, that they rewarded the company with a rebate for a “well made” application in the form of a cheque!Yes, a cheque for $5,000! The council gave money back to Massland because their approval was so well constructed it made the council’s job incredibly easy and they rewarded Massland accordingly.
