PROPERTY ADVISORY

Introduction

As a property investor, you are likely to face the following time-consuming and challenging tasks during the life cycle of any investment property:

  1. Keeping up to date with the market so you can confidently select which are the highest performing locations in the country;
  2. Ensuring that future trends for demographics, population growth, affordability and future government planning in your selected areas align with your investment preferences;
  3. Researching all available properties in your selected areas down to the street level to identify potential purchase targets;
  4. Analysing the suitability of each property’s design and features to ensure it will continue to be in demand in that area during good times and bad;
  5. Spending multiple weekends personally inspecting lots of properties (average 50-200 properties per purchase) before considering an offer;
  6. Negotiating with the vendor and fighting off other bidders to ensure you get the best deal possible at the time;
  7. Performing building inspections and obtaining finance approval for your chosen property to ensure you avoid costly mistakes;
  8. Finding a good property manager to manage the property on your behalf and hoping they will find you a good tenant;
  9. Performing investment analysis on your property regularly to decide whether it is a hold or a sell opportunity;
  10. Finding the best selling real estate agent in the area or other effective marketing channels to dispose of the property when it is no longer a hold opportunity;

For investors who don't buy properties themselves on a very frequent basis, it is very hard to do all the above well without taking your focus off your work and family.  Hence people use a property advisory service to help them with such an important decision.

Investors Direct Property Advisory is set up to help our clients complete the 10 steps above, within a fraction of the normal time required. Very often we can deliver a much better outcome than what a single property investor could normally achieve because of our economies of scale and long standing relationships with vendors and other market participants. Also, our extensive inside knowledge of the finance industry enables us to understand the true worth of properties and areas and predict property trends ahead of their time.
