James spent 28 years in commercial construction. He walked away from a $260,000 salary to flip full time. Ht got the education, learned the system and executed. He went all in. One week after quitting his job, he found his first deal. He's now tracking $205,000+ profit across two flips. From settlement to settlement? Seven months. After all costs. ⸻ 28 YEARS. 14 HOURS A DAY. James had enough. James started in commercial construction at 17 years old. For 28 years, he gave everything to that industry. Minimum 14+ hours a day. Five to six days a week. From the moment he left home to the moment he got back. Project manager. Good pay. $260,000 full package. On paper, everything looked fine. But James wasn't chasing money. He wanted his time back. A young boy at home. A partner. A life happening without him. In November, he made the call. He quit. One week later, he went hard. And he found his first deal. ⸻ THE STRATEGY James is converting single level homes into dual occupancy living. It's a clear strategy. A repeatable model. And he's executing it in Kingston, Brisbane. ⸻ HOW HE FOUND DEAL ONE 300 letterbox drops. That's it. James hit the streets in Kingston and dropped 300 letters. Two days later, his phone rang. The property had been owned by a woman who had lived there for 40 years. She'd moved into a care home. Her mother had taken possession and simply wanted it gone. The timing was right for everyone. James picked it up $130,000 under market value. Off market. No competition. No auction. No one else even knew it was available. That's not luck. That's education meeting execution. ⸻ DEAL 1: KINGSTON, BRISBANE Purchase: $680,000 Renovation: $190,000 Expected Sale Price: $1,100,000 Profit after all costs: $125,000+ (conservative) This one had a unique structure.. a shared ownership arrangement between a private owner and the government through housing commission. Most people would have walked straight past it. James saw exactly what others couldn't. How did he fund it? He refinanced his PPR, went with low doc lenders, and structured it 80/20 with private lending covering the rest. He structured the deal and made it work. Expected on market: July. ⸻ DEAL 2: KINGSTON, BRISBANE 2KMS DOWN THE ROAD James locked in his second deal… Two kilometres up the road. Same suburb. Same strategy. Purchase: $720,000 Renovation: $170,000 Expected Sale Price: $1,100,000 Profit after all costs: $80,000+ (conservative) This one was on market. He paid $40,000 more than deal one and that's exactly where the difference in profit sits. But here's what matters. James wasn't just chasing the biggest number on deal two. He was building a pipeline. Do one. Have one ready to go. Do one. Have one ready to go. That's the model. And he's already living it. ⸻ THE NUMBERS 2 deals. $205,000+ projected profit after all costs. Settlement to settlement. Seven months. Both conservative estimates. He walked away from $260,000 a year. And he's already tracking close to that in profit across just two deals, In seven months. ⸻ MORE THAN MONEY The other week, James took his family to the Sunshine Coast for five days. And he could manage both flips remotely. That didn't happen in 28 years of construction. 14 hours a day. Five to six days a week. Away from the people that matter most. That's gone now. His partner has decided to come on board to handle admin moving forward.. They're building this together as a team. He's not just building a property business. He's building a life on his own terms. ⸻ WHAT'S NEXT FOR JAMES? Deliver these two projects. Lock in another deal before Christmas. End 2026 with $300,000–$350,000+ profit. Conservative. Then next year? Scale to five or six flips. Minimum. ⸻ 28 years. 14 hours a day. $260,000 a year. He traded all of it for his time back. One week after quitting, he dropped 300 letters and got a call in two days. The deals are there. The profit is real. And once you back yourself… everything changes. Incredible work James.
