Investors

Build a portfolio without becoming a property nerd.

I find and negotiate investment properties for people who are good at earning money but don't have 20 hours a week to burn on realestate.com.au. Over a decade of buying with my own money first, then for clients.

$20k

One flat fee, same at $450k as at $900k. I've got no skin in talking you into spending more.

5

Clients at a time, maximum. Nothing gets rushed and nothing gets handed to a junior.

50

Properties bought and counting, my own and my clients'. Every one picked off the data, not a hunch.

The deal, in writing

If we don't deliver, the $14,500 balance never gets billed.

The fee splits $5,500 when you sign on and $14,500 only when your purchase goes unconditional. No property, no balance. And the retainer buys the strategy session and the research, work valued at $8,800 on its own. Most of the risk in this arrangement sits with me, and that's deliberate.

How it works

Five moves. We run all of them.

  1. We work out what you can actually do

    Borrowing capacity, cash position, what you actually want out of this. Modelled properly, so you can see what the purchase does to your portfolio, not just what it costs you.

  2. We find the market before we find the house

    The economics of an area first: jobs, population, supply, incomes. You get a shortlist with the reasoning attached, not a hunch.

  3. We go hunting

    Calls to agents, off-market conversations, driving streets, inspections. For every property you see, there are usually a dozen we've already killed off.

  4. We negotiate like it's our money

    We know what the property is worth and we know what the vendor needs. That's the whole game.

  5. We get it to settlement and tenanted

    Conveyancer, building and pest, finance dates, property manager, tenant. You end up with keys and a rent roll, not a to-do list.

Second dwellings

Granny flats, where the market says yes.

A second dwelling out the back can turn one block into two incomes, in the right market. The Goulburn 50 builds for around $200k and rents upwards of $450 a week where demand supports it. The market decides that, not the brochure, which is why every one gets a feasibility run first.

Free tools · Most need no sign-up

Run the numbers before you pay anyone.

The Momentum Dial reads where all 452 council markets sit in the cycle. The growth calculator runs new build against established under the 2027 negative gearing rules. The cash flow calculator tells you what a property costs to hold. Screening tools, not advice, but a non-starter shows up before it costs you.

Before you book

The four things investors ask first.

What does it cost?

$20,000 flat, GST included, same at every budget. It splits $5,500 when you sign on and $14,500 when your purchase goes unconditional. The pricing page has every dollar in writing.

How fast does it move?

4 weeks on average from signing on to a secured property. Some take longer, because the finish line is you happy with the buy, not a date on a calendar.

Where do you buy?

Australia-wide. Every search starts with all 15,000 suburbs in the country and narrows to the top handful for your numbers. Where I live has nothing to do with where you should buy.

Can I buy through my SMSF or a trust?

Plenty of clients do. Whether that structure is right for you is a question for your accountant or adviser, not me. Once it is set, the process runs the same inside it.

One call. Then you'll know either way.

Fifteen minutes, free, no sales script. If you're ready to buy, I'll tell you what happens next. If you're not, I'll tell you that too, and exactly what to fix first. Straight answers are the whole business model.
