Strategic investment with dual income upside in Birmingham Gardens

Troy and Viktoria came to Moove after months of doing it themselves. Scrolling, inspecting, second guessing, and slowly realising that the market was moving faster than vibes alone could keep up with.

They knew two things:
1. They needed data, not just gut feel.
2. Viktoria needed to stop emotionally moving into every property.
(Enter Troy, whose unofficial role became: “Please don’t imagine where the couch goes.”)

They wanted a proper investment. Something with land, long term growth, rental demand, and future upside. Not a fantasy home that would accidentally derail the strategy.

After months of searching solo, Troy and Viktoria realised:
• The good stock was moving fast.
• The numbers mattered more than aesthetics.
• And yes… suburb snobbery needed to be parked at the door.

They came to Moove for data led suburb selection, deal analysis, and negotiation muscle, knowing they needed a professional to cut through the noise, emotion, and market speed.

Week one of signing up, we found a gem. So good it went to auction… and we missed out.

The market was hot, competitive, and unforgiving up in the Brisbane catchment.

We then identified another strong contender, but when we ran the numbers properly, they did not quite stack up.

Then came another opportunity.

• Positioned in a recognised growth corridor.
• Low vacancy rates meaning strong rental demand.
• Generous land size (hello future granny flat or future extensions for a commune).
• Affordable entry point with upside baked in.

This purchase was about:
• Securing flexibility for future value add via a granny flat.
• Letting fundamentals do the heavy lifting.
• Keeping emotion out, even when Viktoria tried to picture morning coffee spots.

Troy did an excellent job preventing:
• Over romanticising.
• Suburb snob commentary during drive bys.
• And accidental owner occupier decisions.

Team effort.

The result: a strategic investment in a high demand location, with:
• Strong holding fundamentals.
• Clear long term growth drivers.
• And future upside when the timing and numbers align.

Despite all the restraint required, Viktoria’s final verdict:
“I love this house.”

Which, thankfully, was said after contracts were exchanged.
