Why because I don't bag Australia like some of the snobby wanks on this forum. I have been to other countries meet other trades from those countries and I can tell you without a doubt that our tradesman are some of the best trained in the world.
If you don't believe me I suggest you get that giant chip of your shoulder champ.
What's your grand experience to make you suggest that I am full of shit.
Man, This head has been a beauty - best laugh I have had in ages. My wife is looking at me strangely......
However there are people who develop property for a living and still do quite well from it to this day (yes, even in this market).
I know. I know a couple that do this, but it is quite a specialist skill. It took them about 4 properties, about 3 years and a LOT of lost weekends before they could really turn a profit doing this. It's still a lot of hard yakka, but they seem to enjoy it.
The difficulty of reno-flipping is finding a house that is crappy enough in a good enough area to get enough of a discount. And the house has to be REALLY crappy, like, almost un-liveable, and the area has to be good enough that people will pay a premium to live there in a liveable house. These types of properties used to be fairly common, but are a lot harder to find now.
Anyway, my point was really that you need to be in this for the long haul and devote a LOT of your time to develop some fairly specialist skills before you can make much money on it. It's not for me, but to each their own.

When I did my major reno at my place in the Inner West, the trades were awesome. That Australian workmanship and training was great. Oh hang on; the carpenters were 2 kiwi guys, the paver an Irishman, tiler was Italian, roofer another kiwi, asbestos removal team of Vietnamese guys, painters were Macedonian. I think the plumber and sparky may have been Australian born - and the joiner as well.

Unfortunately all the media hype about real estate being the be all and end all path to riches with banks ever willing to help fuel this bubble to gigantic proportions have seen a lot of people taking on unnecessary risks.
Property prices are ridiculously over inflated and fall they will, eventually.
I'm not moops, but thanks for the double compliment (I also <3 moops work).
I should be dictator of the whole world. I'd only take, maybe 5 girls for myself. I'm not greedy.
Why don't you try - instead of sitting on the internet all night squealing that 'they tirrrkk errrr jobs' - getting out and trying to find maybe one girl? Just to start with.
Or are you waiting for 40% of models to dump their boyfriends before you make your move?

Unlike yourself I don't like fat chicks or mail orders.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
