Short Answer, YES.
But its obscenely difficult, time consuming and you need a little bit of luck along the way too.
There’s a few companies out there that specialising in educating and up-skilling people to attack the property game and I’ve found CCORP to be the best and most informative of those. Going it alone and without a good understanding can be really damaging and cost you heaps of time and money.
It really is quite a risk so it pays to be prepared.
