This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on how savvy builders, renovators, and investors are actually funding knockdown rebuilds across the Gold Coast.

Joined by one of AFG’s top brokers Oliver Grant, we reveal the exact finance strategies that are working right now — from creative lending structures to owner-builder hacks and high-profit JV setups.

If you’ve ever wondered how some people are flipping blocks for huge profits while others stall out mid-project, this episode shows you the difference. It’s not just about building — it’s about knowing how to fund it right.

We Dive Into:

• Why owner-builders are finally getting finance (and how to qualify)
• How to leverage your block without doing the build yourself
• Why build costs blow out and how to avoid wiping out your profit
• The risk of second-tier lenders and how they can force a rushed sale
• How locals are pooling equity with mates to develop without selling
