Residential Investors

Residential property has long been proven as a sound investment strategy because of three essential factors: long term capital growth, lower risk and the ability to leverage. Many potential property investors are scared to get into the market for fear of making a mistake.

Propertybuyer was established to help many investors that may lack the time, motivation or experience to source and negotiate top quality residential investment property. The seven most common mistakes we see investors make include:

1. Inadequate research
2. Poor negotiation skills - Paying over market price
3. The frustrated purchase (buying because you’re sick of searching & making a rushed decision)
4. Not understanding property cycles
5. Buying for tax deductions (instead of capital gain)
6. Poor investment analysis
7. Procrastination – fear of moving forward

If you are serious about making money from property investment you need a highly professional and experienced buyers agent (or buyers advocate) on your team. Successful property investors understand how to leverage their time, money and knowledge to get a great result. We provide you with access to extensive market research throughout Australia on recent sales, market trends and property hot spots. As a client of propertybuyer you will get independent advice on where to buy, what type of property to buy and due diligence on factors that affect prices in the local market.

As active property investors ourselves, we must be satisfied that any property we recommend meets strict investment criteria. We have a keen eye for value and know the features that make up successful property investment. We will help you identify the best property investment strategy that suits you needs and lifestyle. These strategies may include:

• Capital growth
• Positive cashflow
• Renovation/ value adding
• Buying under market value
• Buying off the plan
• Strata title
• Subdividing
• Developing

You will get impartial and objective advice on the best opportunities for investors. We regularly come across deals that are not advertised on the internet (silent sales). Through our contacts you will gain access to a much wider variety of opportunities than just approaching individual agencies or developers. And since we never accept sales commission, we can always obtain a much cheaper price than you would get going direct to a developer, because we get all of the sales commission rebated to you!

Since our Director is also an Economist, he likes to crunch the numbers. We will help you identify the after tax cashflow for any investment property you are plainning to purchase. We provide you with comprehensive figures covering rental returns, expenses, vacancy rates, capital growth, demographics and maps and pictures along with current median prices and comparable sales data.

Our fees are affordable, competitive and for investors may be tax deductible (check with your accountant).

We offer a fixed fee structure to ensure you will save time, money and stress and receive expert service and the result you require. Our fees for the full search service are less than 2% of purchase price (scaled fixed fees depending on price bracket) with an intial retainer fee starting from $1990.
