And you enjoy doing auditing? I couldn't think of a worse job lol. I was a tax accountant and helped out on a few audits a few years ago, it just seemed like the most useless thing to be doing.

Brb checking someone else's financial statements, it just felt like you achieved absolutely nothing at the end of the day. Although I was only doing substantive testing... maybe it gets more interesting when you get up to the strategic level.

Cool, are you selling because you think prices will go down with the covid ****? in my country previsions are all housing prices will go down around 30% for the next years so everyone who is selling is lowering prices trying to sell as fast as possible

I don’t do financial statements audit I only do risk and compliance

Sometimes there’s overlap with aml and ctf but I don’t look at financial statements for the most part

Prices are going nuts we got way more than we expected

I considered holding long term but rentals are too much hassle trying to get out of that game

Mirin. I’ll get my masters in law next year, and currently one of my dreams later in life is living of being a professional board member.

Not mirin misleading title, and OP it seems that is why people are hating.

No hate, just saying you spent time and money owning the property.
Unrealised capital gains are not assets

Not an asset until money hits my account
Until then it’s a liability
Hence $190k profit in 15 mins

Profit = $190k = sale price minus all costs (land, construction, regulatory fees, holding costs, taxes, design fees, engineering and other consultants, etc etc)

Would think land, especially in Australia right now, would be pretty profitable.
Yes, they are very short of land in Australia.

Hardly any of it.

I've got almost $50k saved up as part of a deposit for a rental property (my intended real estate entry point and stepping stone into property development). Do you think rentals are a waste of time for a newcomer...generally speaking? (Very open ended question with plenty of variables to consider, I know)

Study the planning laws in detail and invest in a property that has potential to redevelop later

Pay your holding costs by renting it out and once you have the capital redevelop

Even if you can’t afford to redevelop you can get the plans and regulatory approvals and sell to a developer

Good strategy and good return.

How close were your total costs to your upfront estimates? Assume you had done a fair bit of due diligence before purchasing.

I’ve clearly been in Sydney too long, as the idea of finding that much land at that price in the inner city seems crazy, but your overall estimated sale price is still pretty high so it must be a strong market and/or you’ve built high quality townhouses.

Overshot our costs by a long way but the market overtook any of that

Also the interest rates being so low insulated us from the consequences of most of our mistakes

This time around we definitely learned from our mistakes though

Interesting journey. Law in Aus is an undergrad degree, right? Did you have to go back to school before working as an economist or get a CA ANZ?

Misleading title, but still that's some serious cash so congrats! Good luck with your other units, big risk and big pressure deserves a big payoff when it goes right.

You said "our" in a comment, so I guess you're doing this with another guy or more. Would working wit someone else, maybe more knowledgable, be recommended when starting ventures like that?

Yep being a lawyer definitely helps with all the regulatory compliance and paperwork, and being a professional risk manager is also useful. Also knowing your way around a spreadsheet is important for forecasting and tracking expenses however first time out there were so many extra costs we didn’t know about and they added up over time.

Undergrad, then graduate degree in legal practice with unpaid internship, then admission to the law society
