Suburb: Gracemere, VIC
Starting early doesn't always mean getting it right. Our high-income client began investing back in 2014, full of ambition, but her strategy? All wrong. She bought premium apartments in Chatswood and Castle Hill, each over $600K, all negatively geared, and none delivering growth. Years in, she was sitting on a pile of debt with zero momentum toward her retirement goals.
We started with a full portfolio review, what to sell, what to keep, and what to buy next. The plan was clear: stop the bleeding and build a portfolio that actually grows. Fast-forward, and her first purchase with us delivered 15% growth. The second? A sub-$700K duplex with 7%+ yield and $300K in upside. Then came this one.
A $450K purchase in regional QLD, set on 663 sqm of land. The property rents for $475 per week, 6.02% yield, and has already surged 17.89% in value. That's an $85K equity jump in under nine months. And this is just the warm-up.
The property's location is no accident. It's in a proven growth corridor, walking distance to schools, shops, parks, and more. Market conditions are red hot, demand is high, with a demand-supply ratio of 57. Properties now sell in under 47 days, down from 128. Stock on market sits at just 1.3%, vacancy rates have fallen below 0.72%, and renters make up 36.2% of the area.

Next on her roadmap? A co-living deal to add $50K+ in net passive income, plus a retain-and-build to get her into development. That's the kind of traction we build when we shift from random buys to intentional portfolio-building.
We aim to deliver the best life to our clients and making investment a choice to fully achieve it
