Ah yes, the Sydney real estate situation is horrible. It seems that the Australian government is desperate to attract investors to buy Australian property. I even started getting telemarketing calls from random people asking me to invest in

I think it's hard to find funding because all wealthy people in Australia made their wealth in mining. If you want to open a coal mine in the middle of the Outback, you will find investors easily - Just show them the report on soil com
