Bogan Château

A 1960s workers' cottage in Australia that hasn't been renovated in over 50 years. They are often built on a sinking foundation, riddled with asbestos and clad in cheap fibrous cement sheeting, giving them the colloquial name "fibro shitbox".

These negative-yielding liabilities are sought by property investors who feverishly believe property prices can never go down, resulting in sellers asking for prices similar to a French Château on acres of land listed for sale.
That bogan château in Woodridge just sold for $1.2m. You could buy a château in France for that.

Pontoon Donga 

A pontoon donga is any house built on swamp or flood plains with a waffle slab consisting of lightweight polystyrene pods (waffle pods) in a grid pattern on the ground before being framed in rebar and covered in concrete. These foundations are often poorly laid and will crack during or shortly after settlement.
Those imports studying a Diploma of Uber bought that pontoon donga right before the rains hit. I hope they got insurance, as it's starting to crack right up the middle.

Ghetto Oven 

A cookie-cutter suburban home constructed from cheap, low-quality materials, containing little to no insulation and clad with dark roofing. Long into the night, the neighbourhood unwillingly endures the occupant's lamentation, as this overpriced, poorly built furnace of fuck maintains internal temperatures only found near the edge of the devil's anus after a night on reaper sauce.

These four-walled shit toasters are favoured by dimwitted property investors who often revere themselves as scions of financial mastery but usually lack the basic mental gymnastics to invest in other financial assets.
Shane bought a ghetto oven in Blacktown for $1.2m at 6% for 30 years. It won't even last 3 years. It's already cracking up the middle and sinking.
