Nothing quite like turning up to your renovation site to find windows smashed and staging furniture floating in the pool.

That one cost me $4,000 — and I didn’t claim a cent on insurance.
Sounds crazy, but there’s a very good reason for that.

In the past six months alone, three of my sites have been hit — vandalism, theft, even an arson attempt up in Moree. It’s not a one-off anymore, it’s just part of the game now.

So I’ve stopped treating break-ins as a contingency and started budgeting for them like they’re certain — because for me, they are.

Vacant renovation sites are being quietly targeted all over the country right now and most investors have no idea how much it’s actually costing them.

realestate.com.au kept coming back to me on this one because honestly, I’ve lived it — and I told them exactly how I handle it.

Worth a read if you own, invest, or renovate anything. Full article in the comments 👇

Just curious - what strategy in property made you the most amount of money?

Which lenders at the moment in the Private space are doing val-based lends (instead of contract price)?

It sounds insane, I know. But here’s the truth nobody talks about: in most Australian homes, termite damage is localised. It’s treatable. The structure is fine. The fear is almost always bigger than the problem itself.

And when everyone else is afraid? The price drops. The competition disappears. And the deal gets very, very interesting.

We see things as they could be, not as they are.

Is this for everyone? No. You need a team you trust.

But if you know what you’re doing? This is one of the best plays in property right now, in markets nobody else is even looking at.

Doomsday has been “just around the corner” since the 1890s. 🏠

Melbourne prices fell 50% in the 1890s. Then came the Depression. Then the recession we had to have. Then the GFC. Every single time, the same prediction — it’s over.

Every single time, it wasn’t.

In 1974 the median Sydney house price was around $18,700.
Today it’s $1.4M.

The people who bought and held through every crash, every budget scare, every interest rate spike — won.

Simple as that.

Negative gearing isn’t why I buy. Capital growth is. The budget changes the maths slightly — it doesn’t change the game.

The people building real wealth right now aren’t refreshing the news waiting for certainty. They’re moving while everyone else is frozen.

Doomsday is always coming. And yet, here we are. 👊

The best time to buy was yesterday. The second best is now.

How do you feel about the budget?

I’ve been working hard in the background for a long time trying to pioneer money partnering in Australia into something great.

Five thousand members in this community - and it’s only just getting started.

Countless deals have been made using money partnering - returning derelict and abandoned houses back to the rental market. Providing housing across Australia where it’s desperately needed. Houses that banks or traditional finance won’t touch.

People message me every day asking for advice and sharing success stories with money partnering.

On one side we have capital. On the other, we have house flippers and investors with deals, skills, and ambition.

It’s a powerful combination - but there needs to be far more education around how to do it properly, ethically, and safely.

After working across just under 40 property projects, I’ve learned a lot about the right and wrong ways to structure these types of arrangements.

That’s a big part of why I created this group and continue creating free resources online - to help educate people, connect the right people together, and raise the standard of the industry as a whole.

What’s come from it has been an incredibly supportive community of people who see the world as it could be; not as it is.

If this space interests you - welcome.
