WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

We approach property investment as a science, relying on a comprehensive research methodology for selecting future high growth property markets across Australia. We aim to provide our clients with investment properties that will outperform market averages for both capital growth and rental yield. We don't just take on any property that a developer throws at us!

We have a detailed research methodology that covers all key aspects affecting the property market. We spend thousands of dollars each year to get access to Australia's best independent property research.

This  property specific data  is not easily accessible to the public.  ​Our research methodology and selection criteria is aimed at securing properties which are:

  • - With strong rental return, and low vacancy, providing solid cash flow facilitating the purchase of multiple properties.

    - Low risk, giving our clients peace of mind and security Capital growth in the short to medium term, providing equity for the next property acquisition.

    In this way, it is possible to build a portfolio of four properties, and retire with a tax free income of $100K plus per annum, for life.
