Ep. 201 - Australia Is 450,000 Homes Short. That's The Opportunity | Rob Flux

Australia committed to 1.2 million new homes in five years. Seven quarters in, we are tracking around 450,000 short. This week Neil is joined by Rob Flux, founder of Property Developer Network, Australia's largest property development community with 37,500 members and 55 events a year across five states. Rob's story starts under the floorboards of a house destroyed by Cyclone Tracy. He bought his parents' home at 18 to keep them afloat, was subletting rooms by 19 to survive 17% interest rates, and owned his own home outright at 24. Twenty years of negative gearing got him to financially free on paper at 38. A divorce at 37 wiped it out and he rebuilt it faster the second time through development. In this episode: . Why the housing shortfall is getting bigger, not smaller . Why 80% of all construction in Australia is six dwellings or less, and why nobody represents those developers . The difference between courses that tell you it can be done and ones that show you how . How to spot where a deal works instead of forcing a deal onto the land you have . Why Perth's double brick obsession is following the exact same path as the diamond industry . Prefab going slab to lock up in two days, and half a million dollars of holding cost savings on a single 18 townhouse project . The one change government could make tomorrow that would move the needle . Rob's best deal: $196,000 profit in six weeks If you have thought about development but never pulled the trigger, this one is for you. Rob's details are in the show notes.
