It's another beautiful day in Mackay. The sun's shining above and a gentle sea breeze – the weather, Adani’s investment, port expansion and community infrastructure developments are just some of the reasons why Mackay continues to be a favourite market for Malyshka Development.
I’m standing on a potential development site and confirming if it satisfies some key requirements:
- Street Appeal: Tree lined. Clear and level sidewalks. Little traffic. Cars not parked on the street all day? Nice shading trees, etc
- Land Shape: A regular rectangle shape is best
- Land profile: Flat and level land is the easiest and best to build on
- Frontage: The wider the frontage the greater street presence and appeal
But can we make a profit for our investment partners?
I can find out using Malyshka’s new Real Estate Development Feasibility App for the iPad. Following the prompts for input:
- Location (for automatic stamp duty and mortgage insurance calculations)
- Margin Scheme
- GST registered (for GST income tax credits and GST collected on income)
- Land purchase price and associated cost
- Consultant Costs/Soft Costs
- Construction Costs/Hard Costs
- Selling Costs
- Contingency amount
- Finance Costs
I hear the cash register ring …… this site will return 22.43% margin or $402k in profit.

Output summary from the Real Estate Development Feasibility App
Malyshka’s Real Estate Development Feasibility App saves me a great deal of time when looking at initial financials for a site, meaning that it takes less time to confirm a great development opportunity and means Malyshka can secure it for clients/partners before someone else snaps it.
Astute investors know that in the current low growth environment you have to build your equity upfront by acquiring properties at cost – not by paying retail! To do this you need to be involved in property development and as competition heats up for great sites every little advantage helps and Malyshka’s new Real Estate Development Feasibility App is just one that Malyshka provides to investors.
