Marc and Lianne met us through a financial planning group and needed help securing their first investment.
Their home had grown significantly in value and they had a lot of idle equity they wanted to use. They had already met with a mortgage broker who confirmed how much they could access and borrow, allowing them to target a property around $1m.
We identified a few locations in Queensland that were of interest to them, and they could clearly see the potential. They wanted a home that would be low maintenance, but also something they or a future owner could add value to.
We initially missed out on a property, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the building and pest report was riddled with issues. After reviewing it, we would not have proceeded anyway.
We then found the perfect home in Griffin. We know the agent well and he was great to work with, sending us a video walkthrough straight away. We were able to secure the property within four days, and Marc and Lianne were very happy. The property also featured a large side garden with its own access, giving them flexibility for the future.
We assisted in appointing local property managers, and they had a tenant secured within 10 days of settlement.
Everything went smoothly and, as Marc said, it all felt a bit too easy. It is not easy, but we are good at making it feel that way for our clients.
