There's more to it than just the delayed pay cycle. I find there is more grief/work involved in real estate, council, strata, commercial generally, but the prices the work brings doesn't reflect it. The only benefit is the volume of work, and the consistency of work is higher for sure. In my experience, if anything its lower paid than residential though. I have a buddy that does only strata work, and he pretty much just has the one large client with thousands of strata properties to care for. He has to kiss ass all day long, no matter if they left the job till the last minute, waited till a month after he quoted then got in **** from their client because they dropped the ball then get back to him at the last minute with a work order and want the job done tomorrow meanwhile they've blamed the delay on him so when he turns up at site people are already furious with him and want something extra for free etc... I just couldn't deal with that, even if the money was better (it isn't).
