But you're playing with big sums of money, so it's best to start with a solid base of knowledge.

As with everything, learn to walk before you run.Take on a small extension reno (buy a 3 bed with a good land size, and ad a bed / ensuite / living space). This will give you a very good idea on construction + fitout costs. From here, you will learn some of the tools of the trade, and if you're very lucky, will form a…[Read more]

My initial training was with a company called Foxtons in London – the pay was fairly rubbish as an agent,…[Read more]
