1. Something's Cookin' Cook St Cracker Deal

2. Before the deal. I was undecided on a suburb. Undecided on a deal type. Everything x Everywhere = I had to get clear.... Suburb. Deal Type.

3. Initial Goal. In the Redlands. 3B 1B Buy 320-340K Sell 375-400K. Quick reno. Cosmetic Only. 10-15K Profit. 4-6 weeks

4. What I found. A continually moving market in the Redlands. How did I ever plan to keep in with all of Brisbane? A lot of RE agents doubting my ambitions. Other agents willing to network & support. My biggest competitor. First home buyer. Emotional buyer. Multiple crashed contracts & offers knocked.
