 True there is no market without cycles. however the australian market is the best performing one in the developed economies. though it is dependent on Chinese , the market might have a correction or soft landing but will never crash. there is  acute shortage of houses sort of controlled release of land. With the exception of western australia where the early bird investors made a lot of profit, the late investors lost and market appeared to have crashed, but the reason is different. When an iron ore mine or a coal mine project  opens for development there will be thousands and thousands of jobs and people at one time were flying in and flying out every day due to housing shortage. Investors poured in but failed to understand that when the mine is operational it needs very few personnel to operate. where as the eastern markets have performed very well consistently for the past couple of decades.

why not try lending in Australian real estate market. properties have doubled in the last 7 years. In just over one year the properties appreciated by 20% . People were saying that the bubble will burst soon, I have been hearing since 2015, but never happens. Most of the suburbs median price is fast approaching 1 million mark. Still the demand is so much that the land releases are sold out at the blink of an eye .
