Definitely an old brochure from 2020. There’s a severe housing shortage on the Northern Rivers so rents everywhere are very high.

20 minutes drive down a highway to get to Byron. But let’s call it Byron 😂. Ridiculous.
Ewingsdale Road into Byron is bumper to bumper traffic in the morning and afternoon if her younger son attends school there.

But who am I kidding? High flying interior scammers don’t do mundane things like school drop offs and pick ups.

I think the flyer might be old, when you search for the actual address on real estate.com it definitely shows $1k a week for the corkboard castle. I still think there is something dodgy about the arrangement, what real estate gives a renter champers and chocolate when they move in??View attachment 1512544
Ah my bad! I did think it seemed cheap. Is this the same 6 month air bnb rental she was talking about. I can’t keep up.

And wasn’t she busy setting up her bedroom in Leila’s house a few months ago? Furniture arriving and everything? The two single Mums tackling life’s challenges together? I am so so confused. I can’t see her in Ocean Shores for 6 months. Although with the Crystal time warp, 6 months is everyone else’s 3 months....

I was thinking the same thing. Bet you she doesn't stay as long. She said she was 5 minutes from the beach, so that isn't true either? I'm in America so I don't know the area. $4,000/month would be really expensive here, depending on the airbnb of course. How can she afford it?

Nope that was the cute cottage by the water (read murky mozzie infested puddle) that she manifested.

Yup - they don’t seem as chummy now - I wonder what went down???

She is 5 minutes from the beach, just not Byron beach as she makes out.

rents in Australia are astronomical at the moment especially in that general area because it’s a desirable area to live but thousands of homes were lost in floods so there is a rental shortage.

so $1k/week for a fully furnished place with a view isn’t bad.

what is bad is that based on what she shares it’s probably beyond her means. She could have got a lovely smaller place that is less fancy for a lot less money.

she has to pay $52k/year just in rent, if you pay more than 30% in rent you are deemed to be in rental stress.

That means she has to be making $173k after tax, which means she has to make about $260k before tax which is $5k/week.

who’s betting Crystal didn’t do this math (kind of like how she didn’t do the due diligence when she opened her homewares store and realised how expensive shipping was and how hard delivery times were and that the math didn’t work on small margins).

anyway she’ll hustle to try and keep it, I predict a whole bunch of those I’ll style your house on the cheap deals again (the ones she said she wouldn’t do because she is onto bigger things).

I doubt there’s a lot of money in this smart home collab - it’s more ego for her. She gets so much significance from working with d grade celebs and partnering with brands but most influencers don’t make a lot of money. Fame and free stuff doesn’t pay the bills.

or if she doesn’t pull it off she’ll manifest a new dream and start a new chapter…

how many furnished rentals are there? Who would want that? (Besides high rise apartments for corporates)
All that cork makes it crystals dream home - barb the builder can use thumb tacks to style all the rooms with her beige curtains… it’s one step up from cable ties!

It’s a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach, about 25 minutes to Byron Bay outside peak hour traffic, and it’s about 20 minutes to Bangalow where Crystal seems to hang about (probably hoping to bump into Ruby Tuesday Matthews and Courtney Adamo to start a top tier influencer girl gang 😉).

It’s about a 40 minute drive to Gramps at Seven Mile Beach. Oh, wait. He only lasted a month. Never mind.

The nearest beaches are beside reclaimed mangrove swamp and the area regularly floods in heavy rain cutting off the roads to the beaches.

Don’t forget Corkboard Castle backs onto a highway. The airbnb listing said it can be noisy. Crystal’s lease runs over Christmas so she can’t be kicked out for the summer holiday lettings - but come January she’ll have run out of money and will be back in Leila’s smallest bedroom in Murwillumbah. 🙃

and sticky tape 😂

I find her the most confusing person to follow. We went through this whole starting a new chapter of moving to byron earlier in the year when she moved in with Leis. Now we are starting the same new chapter? And she has to be splitting her time still with tamworth as that us where the “studio” or whatever she calls it is... The one that was going to close but now isn’t.
Then we have all the “we are all going to be together” stuff but how unless she suddenly got custody after years of not having it.
I think the only thing that has actually happened is that she has signed a lease like a normal person for 6 months and she now has somewhere where she can be with her kids when she actually has them both at the same time (holidays).
make it make sense!

Thank you for explaining the real estate & taxes there @BasicBoganBaes. She sounds like she's in way over her head.

What is she laughing at? Nothing again by the looks if it. You can see the phone propped up in both of the reflections of their sunglasses. No wonder the kids looks so confused
