I also did a 6 month co-op stint with modular home builds in AUSTRALIA for cyclone relief so I learned a LOT about the downfalls of slapping homes together on the cheap.

In Australia, this is a concept and even a strategy known as 'negative gearing'.

In Australia, however, I'm a licensed electrician and have seen similar stuff before; I've rewired several houses with this (never seen aluminum over there).

In Australia it was used in roofing, external cladding and internal wall coatings.

I remember the devastating floods in Queensland Australia when the powers that be allowed building permits for homes on 'ancient' flood plains because they were of the opinion that Global Warming would prevent future flooding.KARMA's a b.tch !!

Looking to have coffee with BiggerPockets fans in Melbourne Australia.

@Farhan KhanI’m originally from Australia and have been serious looking into investing back home in the next year or two.

I am a developer in Australia and it is very difficult to source finance at the moment, banks have tightened lending.
