They left marks on the walls, uneven coats, they painted the wrong colours onto the wrong walls, and even had areas where they'd switched tones in the middle of the wall!

I really think that it is worthwhile taking the time to do the…[Read more]

This is just a hypothetical scenario, I was just wondering if it was possible to say, live in a place for a few months while I do it up to avoid CGT when I sell. I'll have a chat with a professional and see what they say.

Thanks again.

I would like to get out of school and then start off with small run down places and flip them, then, after I've saved enough cash, move up to townhouses/units, and then eventually all the way to apartment complexes and what not.

I've researched a lot into Harry Triguboff, and how he got started, and it is a very…[Read more]

I just took up a second job, so hopefully by the time I need it I will have a decent sized deposit to use, maybe with some left over.

I agree, it's great to find some other people who are in the same boat as me. Do you have any idea as to where you would like to start?

This is because, as a minor, I technically don't know what a contract means when I sign it and am unaware of the repercussions if I cannot fulfill it,…[Read more]

Would you say that the best way to get an idea of construction costs is to talk to the builders/construction workers themselves? Are there any other ways to research this as well as how you mentioned, so that I can explore multiple avenues?

Again, thanks for your help.

When you say working in the industry, do you mean anything relevant to property development, or specifically within a property development company?

Thanks…[Read more]
