PROPERTY UNFILTERED: Million-dollar results, rat houses, meth houses and now a ‘brothel’? | Part 2

21 OCT 2026 • By Robyn Tongol • 2 min read • Investor Strategy

From rat houses and meth houses to a property nicknamed “The Brothel", we've seen some seriously questionable properties turn into incredible investments. We have so many wild stories and bargain deals to share that one episode just wasn't enough. Part 2 is out now!

A trashed house bought for $550,000, now worth $950,000 – 72 per cent growth in just over two years. A desperate vendor slashing $100,000 off a deal after a buyer’s finance fell through. Fully renovated properties snapped up at massive discounts in a slowing market.

We're back with Hung Chuy from Strategic Brokers to share how we uncover bargains when others are sitting on the sidelines and why buying below market value can give investors a valuable buffer during a downturn.

The deals get bigger. The stories get better.
