    I’ve read the article on this website about flips. I understand that a $70 000 profit can easily be reduced to $25 000.

    When you’re earning $10 000 p.a., $25 000 looks awfully good. I am more than happy to lose profit to Capital Gains at this stage. What I really need are a few good chunks of cash, and quickly.

    Wrapping is a brilliant strategy which I will be utilising, it’s just right now I need a kick start.

    Is anybody actually doing these? (Specifically in Perth?) With all the material and hype geared towards long-term strategies, I’m beginning to wonder if anyone has eyes for this strategy.

    Thanks,

    Luke.

    Luke, welcome

    If you do a search for Perth or WA on the forums, you’ll come up with a wealth of information on who does what.

    You’ll probably get some emails of people you could talk to/meet up with also.

    Cheers
    Mel

    I have a client who is buying and onselling quickly for a good profit. He is still doing this despite the current market – a few weeks ago he made a fair bit. There is still money to be made if you are willing to take high risks.

    >>There is still money to be made if you are willing to take high risks.<<

    Terry, I bet that your client doesn’t consider whatever he is doing as ‘high risk’.

    He obviously has a strategy, knows what he is doing, has a pretty good idea of what the loss is if whatever he is doing doesn’t quite work out and he even possibly expects a certain number of deals to turn into a loss.

    If, on the other hand, one buys a property in the hope (meaning ‘not knowing what one is doing’) of selling it at a profit that would be high risk (or gambling if you like).
