After many years in this profession, what I can now bring to the table is wisdom, experience, research, logic and efficiency.

My professional investment concept is “less in, more out” with 105% financing from local banks (depending of course on your valuations) with a deposit of $1,000. When you take the emotion out of what a real estate investment looks like, you can focus on how you (and your family) can invest with maximum efficiency.

We have developed a clinical and scientific approach to real estate investing. We were delighted in early 2007 when we received a testimonial (from the United States): “You are the only rational source of information in your market.” Our method completely ignores emotion and focuses solely on the expected financial return.

My practice is based on long-term relationships, repeat business, and personal referrals. And none of that happens if the clients are not totally calm with the first investment that I share with them.

Our private clients generally need to consider an ongoing investment program in order to achieve their goals, therefore the investments I share are in growth corridors so capital builds quickly to allow you to add to your portfolio as soon as possible. . And to make sure you’ll be able to easily sell to the widest possible market (i.e. families) when it comes time to implement your eventual escape strategyYou need to purchase investments that are below the median price for that location.

Another issue to mention is tax benefits. Even if your investment never increases by even $1 over the next ten years – God forbid – the average investor (with 105% financing) will still have saved up to $100,000 in taxes.

New investors generally do not have any knowledge of the true benefits of investing in property. Daily journalists frequently shape our views, but they are often wrong and rarely offer Wisdom.

The best investment asset (this will be 30% of your success)

Without a doubt, the best investment asset is a single-story, four-bedroom family home with a double-enclosed garage, in its own title – I describe it as “a show house without the furniture” – and we locate the investment in a growth corridor close to a cluster of strong jobs in a well-established and well-diversified economic zone.

The reason is that this property will always attract a continuing series of the ideal renter: a young couple with children in elementary school.

Some of the important considerations for the buys of a successful residential real estate investment are inside and outside inclusions, correct financing, legal tenant structure, your tax refund each payday, surveyor’s report, etc., however, your long term performance depends on the vehicle’s ability to attract a succession of high-quality, long-term tenants paying relatively higher rent and located in an exciting growth corridor in a low property tax jurisdiction.

The preferred product is a new off-plan family home, that is, it will be built in the coming months. This is very attractive to

(a) investors, as it achieves maximum tax benefits, as well as for

(b) the ideal tenant, for example, a young couple with children in primary school.

Through an ongoing process of research and removal, my focus is narrowed down to new family homes in established family suburbs in close proximity to Brisbane’s South West Economic Zones. There will always be quality long-term renters in these suburbs, due to the large number of broad-based jobs in the adjacent light industrial precincts.

The price should be above, but slightly below, the average price. You don’t earn more rent (proportionately) for a more expensive investment, and by staying just below the median, you’ll have the widest possible market to tap into when it’s time to make your investment.
