***After a quick consultation with a legal friend of mine ( mind you it was quick, he said he would check it at work) This section you showed us....***
(Section 4 of the Estate Agents Act (Victoria) 1980 clearly states that "estate agent or agent means any person who exercises or carries on or advertises or notifies or states that s/he exercises or carries on or that s/he is willing to exercise or carry on or in any way holds himself out to the public as ready to undertake the business of (a)selling buying exchanging letting or taking on lease of or otherwise dealing with or disposing of; (b)negotiating for the sale purchase exchange or )

*** Would not allow on-site managers, or the occasional solicitor or accountant to collect rent for you, or reckon up a lease, or for me to go get all the rent for my mums houses.***
***Either you guys have some very weird laws down there, or, this is just a 'society' law, or I have misread it, or you are totally right!
But....If you are right, I don't understand you're point?
Is you're point that , Flippers are illegal?
To be honest here, There is no job description for a flipper, no union, no superannuation etc etc etc...
There cant be, because it doesn't have a classification, its not a job, Its a process, " Whereby, telling someone of a particular deal, it becomes what is known as , "a flip"
There is no job description for gazumping, I I know a few people who wander this earth who are 'gazumpers' ( bless their evil little hearts).
I know there are proffesional looking low ballers, but there isnt a job description called "Low baller" (hahahaha, can you imagine a man saying, Hi, I'm a low baller!)
So I guess what I am saying is, Flipping is a process, it is a name given to an occurrence that happens, a phenomena.
Most people who say, oh yeeeah, I'm a flipper! Are of a new breed calling themselves ( or not) Freestylers.
Freestylers, fancy themselves to be entrepreneurs, go getters, insanely crazy in a fun kinda way, and actually, most of us are pretty darn good looking
)
Freestylers , fancy themselves as giving it a go, they will try anything once, twice if it felt good!
Now we cant go forming a union/superannuation around a freestyler either, ( Heaven forbid, we are FREEEEEE), if we did, we would have to do that to the " Buy and Holders".
( By the way , we love the buy and holders, as it is part of our plan, to buy and hold)
Freestyling is an occurance a phenomena
)
Now certainly, if you have tried a flip, and you believe you have found your niche, and you are going to go and do it full/part time, then I would certainly urge you to join a group called 'buyers agents', for your own protection, because you will need, super/union/profesional advertising...etc etc etc...all the things, an already established society can give you.
But, If your just 'freestyling'.....let me in on whats hot and whats not please
