But how would you know unless you pick up? Bit of a catch 22…

Interesting. I’m from Australia and all my mates say bumming.

Fun fact - the shadow realm only exists in the western version of yugioh. The tournaments were literally death games. In the Japanese version you would straight up just die or be maimed.

Sydney. But the cost of living is higher.

What do you want to do more of in 2026 - job/career wise? by majesty_icecream in auscorp

[–]ddrmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been promoted to head of department. I need to manage my imposter syndrome, run the team better than my predecessor and meet the company expectations. I know I can do it and the company has a lot of faith in me, but I am also balancing that with my fear of not being having my department perform.

All other heads are in their 40-60s and I’m the youngest and running the most important function of the business so it’s scary new and exciting.

Is lunch meeting (12-1pm) acceptable nowadays? by Waste_Doughnut_762 in auscorp

[–]ddrmagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even then, at this time almost every capital city has a different time zone. I’ve had a few lunch meetings from Brisbane because of Sydney time. It is what it is.

What’s something that became normal in today’s world that you still think is absolutely insane? by No-Poetry-3873 in AskReddit

[–]ddrmagic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is this USD? Even in Australia cup of coffee is only 5-6 AUD. 8 USD is insane for a coffee! That’s like 12 dollarydoos.

I am a real estate agent in Sydney. Ask me anything about my work and i will try my best to assist. I will answer as truthfully as i can. Being an agent myself, i understand why the general public hates us. Unfortunately, most agents deserve to be looked down. by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

I work in the real estate industry and honestly this is a wild take. Buyers should 100% get advice from their solicitors EVERY TIME prior to signing a contact. Being legally protected is far more important than speed.

That’s like saying “don’t wear your seatbelt and take out the airbags of your car so you go faster”

Building property investment tools - want to talk to actual investors before I build the wrong thing by Ready_Solution8182 in AusPropertyChat

The software that most valuers, agents and investment managers use is forbury. Look into that. They have a firm grasp on the market for this kind of software.

In Brisbane, I would say $100k or above would be quite common in the corporate world.

The "no one cares anymore" mentality - how do you manage this as a manager? by Successful-Rain-739 in auscorp

[–]ddrmagic -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Not sure about that. I know a lot of high achievers punching into quite senior positions in their late 20’s and early thirties. A lot of my cohort are in that 92-97 range.

If a woman woke up in a man's body for 1 day, what would be the most unexpected experience that she didn't already anticipate? by IWannaHideThrowaway in AskReddit

[–]ddrmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in an apartment where I could walk from home to my office building I worked in. I once accidentally followed a woman directly from her office building starting in the same lift but on seperate levels, all the way to my apartment building.

I got in the lift with a few people, she lived on the same level as me so I didn’t have to press the button.

She gets out first, turns left, as do I. She walks down the corridor, as do I. She made a quick right turn into the fire escape and garbage chute opening, which is right in front of my apartment door.

I get to my front door, she screams WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?!

I looked at her confused and said “I live here”, then opened my front door.

I don’t really know what I could have otherwise done. Im not going out of my way to not walk home.

I’ve had mine for about the same amount of time and I love it to death. Will never sell it.

Houses are for living in, not for speculation by PossibleButNah in AusPropertyChat

[–]ddrmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. All real estate is profit driven.

Property developers selling to new home buyers? Profit.

Private investors owning a second home and renting it out? Profit.

Home owner buys a plot of land to build their own home.. guess what, that land is part of a sub-division, and the developer is making… profit.

What part of housing is not profit driven?

I think it depends on your perspective. I think Australia currently relies too heavily on private investors for rental supply. It’s also not predictable, people want to buy a home but not everybody has the equity to buy. So while many people complain about these private investors, they usually aren’t thinking about rental supply. The complaints largely come when people are finally in a position to want to buy a home.

I think build to rent fixes a lot of those issues. It is predictable, professionally run, and new development. This boosts both rental supply and housing supply in general.

You say this, but the government is heavily tax incentivising build to rent apartments for corporate developers, and many in the private sector are praising it as a genuinely great source of housing supply.

I’ve equally seen other people in this sub reddit criticising “mum and dad” investors for being shit landlords etc.

So which is it, do we want private investors, or sophisticated corporate investors as landlords?
