Why It Works

One system, run together.

Every member on this page works the same way: feasibility first, margins protected, downside managed before a dollar is committed. Risk first, profit second, on projects small enough to control. And none of them do it alone. The deals above get found, checked and challenged inside a community of people doing exactly the same thing, at every stage from first feasibility to fifth project. That's the part a review can't quite capture, and it's the reason the results repeat.

The power of the biweekly call is truly incredible. So many people in this community have shared with me, saying, "Lindy, I know you. I’ve seen you in the biweekly calls, heard your stories, and gotten to know you."

This connection has built such a strong foundation of trust, and it’s this trust that makes communication flow so effortlessly. It’s amazing how these calls create meaningful bonds and open doors for genuine collaboration. I’m deeply grateful for this community and the connections we’re building together.

Thanks again for all your support—it really helps to keep me grounded! It can definitely be a challenge sometimes, especially when you get excited about a project, only to go home, run the feasibility, and realize it doesn’t stack up. It’s easy to start having doubts at that point.

Watching the live call replays and hearing other students share similar frustrations, or even stories of people going through 40 deals before landing one, has been so motivating. It reminds me that persistence is key, and it keeps me pushing forward.

A big thank you for all your support, and I really appreciate your patience with all the emails! Your insights on real estate have been invaluable, and I’m in the process of gathering my team.

Thanks again for everything—I truly appreciate all the guidance!

I've been a member of the inner circle since December 2024 and it's easily one of the best things I could have invested in. I have learnt and grown so much already. Our families future looks brighter than ever. Not only that but it's so nice to meet like minded people and be able to have all these new connections to bounce ideas off and ask all the questions you need for your learning ❤️

My 12 months with Amanda and the inner circle have been the most valuable in my 20 years of property investing.

The course is easy to follow and with everything you need to know for a beginner through to advanced.

The ongoing support was something I found great value in and has helped me do great things over the last year.

Highly recommend from someone who has been through all the rubbish that is available online these days.

Thank you Amanda

Amanda takes great personal care in delivering her lessons on property development. She is meticulous on detail and ensures that students are free to ask any question any time. Her efforts in all aspects of her course and webinars to show not only the good side of developing, but how to mitigate risk at all points in the process, show her personal attitude to ensuring students are able to successfully negotiate the development process as a career.

As what I told Amanda today: "I’m grateful and still impressed that you personally reply to most things on the Inner Circle Student fb group/mailing list instead of outsourcing it to someone else."

To future members thinking about Amanda's RSIC, I've attended & accessed contents of other teachers/success figures (eg. MR, DB, SK) out there, I find Amanda's content & approach very honest, personable, creative and definitely very responsive especially with video Q&A sessions, fb posts, emails etc.

Amanda's course in property development, The Rising Star Inner Circle, is comprehensive and provides massive amounts of value, whilst being simple and easy to follow. I have a great foundation of property knowledge from working in the industry already, and I still learn so much from Amanda. It's the 1% details that make all the difference. It's self paced to move as quickly or slowly as you like, and Amanda is so highly accessible. Many other property courses are simply pre-recorded with little to no personal access or support. Whereas Amanda is quick to respond to questions or point you in the right direction, and truly cares about your success. Amanda is in the trenches, developing herself in various different ways and providing real-life, real-time learnings so you know you're learning from an expert in their field (and not someone simply regurgitating information). The community she has cultivated is supportive and nurturing. Whether your completely new to property, long term investor, or work in the industry, you're going to get a lot of value from this course.

The Site Tour was a fantastic day, and great to spend time with you in person. Thanks to you and Alistair for being so open about your journey, it is amazing and something I am grateful to have been a part of. Your ability to make development look simple matched with your talent to produce a fantastic end product is mind blowing, which I bet you are proud of. We all know there is a lot that goes into each project, and it was an eye opener to see your sites firsthand. I really appreciated the opportunity to hear how you do it, so once again Thank you for a great day!!

Todays Rising Star Developer site tour with Amanda and Alistair was truly inspirational.

One lesson for me among the many, you never stop learning.

Many of us wrestle with Life’s uncertainties, procrastination sets in and next day the “can” is further down the same road.

This site tour and the discussion on all matter’s property, has highlighted the many possibilities there are in small scale subdivision.

This is a journey well worth undertaking. I am fortunate to be on this journey.

I recommend following up Rising Star Developer.

Best Regards

I am keenly looking for my first deal. Found a great property last night but found out this morning it had already sold. I’m taking your advice and starting small, have done some renovation before and also one subdivision, just one into two. This is my idea for the next project as well. I’m loving the modules, education and support from the amazing community and feel so much more confident in what I’m looking for in a potential project.

I’m on a learning curve like no other at the moment and your emails, feeds and podcasts keep me moving forward.

The AI presentation has opened me up to the possibility of fast tracking some of my work. I have applied it to a few of my tasks at work, as well as helping me with a structured approach to assist with my researching a deal.

I appreciate you and your team behind the scenes.

Hi Amanda,

First off, what you're creating with The Rising Star Developers (TRSD) program and Inner circle community is wonderful and I believe it's one of the most honest and transparent Property strategies available in the market.

What sets TRSD program apart from the rest - it requires you to do some work, learn new skills, and develop knowledge from the ground up as well as put it into practice. Along with that, you Amanda are invested into TRSD program and students, you talk the talk and walk the walk with us. This is a key component that it often missing from the majority of the Property investment programs out there, with them you just become a number.

Being able to understand and have control of all the elements and moving parts that go into a small to medium scale property development project is a life skill and if done right is a sure money maker, as you and a number of TRSD Inner circle students haven proven even during these current tough financial times we are all going through.

I thank you for sharing TRSD program with us.

I never knew this would be the path I would take, it was more of a dream which I thought was not achievable. After a simple introduction to this industry via marketing, I was able to have a one-on-one call with Brian who helped me cross the line of my nerves and give this a shot. Needless to say the information and access to a large and knowledgeable group of people was well worth the investment and I believe this will be the gift that keeps on giving. I am looking forward to seeing where this road leads me and thank you Amanda and the team at The Rising Star Developer for providing such a service!
