Some wins aren’t just about the numbers, they’re about timing, trust, and rewriting what’s possible for the next generation.
This story belongs to a determined single mum working in the mines, raising two sons in their early twenties. One is currently in the army reserves, the other ready to step into the world of real estate. She came to us with a big heart and a bigger goal: to help her kids step into property and build long-term wealth as a family.
But the journey almost began with a misstep. When she first reached out to us, she was just about to sign on to an apartment in Queensland, one that would have capped her borrowing power and severely limited her growth options. Thankfully, she paused to have a conversation with our team. That call changed everything.
We crafted a strategy that allowed her and her sons to combine their serviceability and buy smart. The goal was to grow together initially and structure things in a way that would allow the wealth to be separated when the time was right. It wasn’t just about buying a property; it was about building a blueprint for long-term success.
That blueprint started with a well-located property in Metro WA, purchased for $535,000. Sitting on 576 sqm of land, it came with a brand-new granny flat at the back, instantly creating a dual-income opportunity. Rented at $660 per week, the property returned a strong 6.48% yield—ideal for balancing growth with cash flow. Less than 25 km from Perth CBD, the home is also walking distance to parks, schools, a lake, and two major shopping centres, with easy access to the city via two main roads and a nearby train station.
Fast forward just nine months, and the property has grown in value by 20.56%, adding almost $110,000 in equity. Today, she’s sitting on over $140,000 in unrealized growth, and the path ahead is wide open, she can either reinvest that equity into the next asset or sell and scale it up into a higher-value property.
What makes this property even more exciting is the market it sits in. This suburb is a textbook growth corridor. The demand-supply ratio currently sits at 64, showing significantly higher buyer interest than available stock. Properties are being snapped up in under 22 days—an incredible shift from the 74-day average just a few months prior. Stock on market is critically low at under 0.15%, vacancy rates are sitting below 0.12%, and 24% of the area is made up of renters, indicating consistent rental demand and strong cash flow potential.
This wasn’t just an investment, it was a turning point. A single decision saved her from a costly mistake and set the stage for something much greater: a family-built portfolio, a generational wealth plan, and a strategy rooted in structure and intent.
If you’re standing at a similar fork in the road, know that it only takes one right move to change everything.
Let’s chat property. Until the next purchase. Peace out!
