FAQs
Is Adelaide a good first-flip city?
Arguably the easiest capital to start in: lower entry prices, less competition than Brisbane/Perth, and tradies more available than the eastern capitals. Lower upside per deal but a more forgiving learning curve.
How much capital do I need for an Adelaide flip?
$80-120k cash typically covers deposit + stamp duty + acquisition + holding + reno on a $450-550k cosmetic project.
What's South Australian stamp duty?
SA stamp duty is bracketed steeply — around 5% on a $500k investor purchase. Use the stamp duty calculator with state set to SA for the exact figure.
