This client approached Moove Property looking to purchase her first investment property and diversify her portfolio while living and working in outback Queensland.
The main challenge was distance. Travelling to Townsville to inspect properties was not practical, and without strong local market knowledge, she was not confident identifying the right opportunities or avoiding costly mistakes.
Her brief also had a few layers. While the property needed to perform as an investment, there was also the possibility of relocating to Townsville in the future. This meant the asset needed to suit both investment fundamentals and owner occupier appeal, all within a limited budget.
We started by guiding her through our process and providing clarity around how we source, assess, and secure property. With access to Moove’s data, insights, and local network, she was able to make informed decisions without needing to be on the ground.
We then assessed a range of opportunities across on market, pre market, and off market listings to ensure we were not limited to what was publicly available.
After completing thorough due diligence, we secured a property in a flood free location at a price below market value and below replacement cost. This positioned her well for both long term growth and risk management.
To ensure the property met all expectations, we coordinated and reviewed building, pest, plumbing, and electrical inspections. This confirmed the condition of the asset and gave her confidence in the purchase. Following this, we negotiated a further price reduction, improving the overall outcome.
During the settlement period, the client was able to travel overseas knowing everything was being managed on her behalf.
The result:
A well located, investment grade property secured remotely, aligned with both her financial goals and future flexibility, without the need for her to step foot in the market.
