FAQs
What's the minimum capital to flip a house in Sydney?
For an outer-metro cosmetic flip, expect $200-300k cash to cover deposit, stamp duty, holding costs and reno. Inner-Sydney structural plays start north of $400k cash.
Where do flippers actually buy in Sydney?
Outer-Sydney corridors with above-median capital growth and below-median entry prices — Penrith, Mount Druitt, Liverpool, Campbelltown, the Central Coast. Inner-metro flips work best as full renovations or strata conversions, not cosmetic.
What's the typical flip timeline?
Cosmetic: 6-10 weeks build + 6-10 weeks sale. Full reno: 4-6 months build + 8-12 weeks sale. DA-required structural: 9-15 months end-to-end.
