Property investors

Your next purchase should know what comes after it.

Whether it is your first investment or the fifth, the question is the same: what does this purchase need to do for the portfolio you are building? We answer that before we look at a single listing.

What the engagement covers

From the first conversation to settlement.

A strategy before a suburb
Your position, borrowing capacity and goals set the brief. We work back from where you want to be to what this purchase has to achieve.
Australia wide research
We assess markets, locations and opportunities against the agreed brief, not a predetermined list of postcodes or developments.
On market and off market
We search on market and, through our industry relationships, off market opportunities where they exist.
Due diligence, negotiation and settlement
We review the property and the key information, negotiate price and terms on your behalf, and coordinate the purchase through to settlement.

The Best Invest approach

There is no single best property. There is only the property that makes sense for you.

First-time investors who want to get ahead through property
Mum and dad investors building a portfolio around the family
Owners of an existing portfolio who want it restructured to work harder
Investors who want a second opinion on where the next dollar should go

How the seven steps work

Six strategies

The objective picks the strategy, not the other way round.

Established property, high growth markets, building, units and townhouses, renovation or value add, and development. Which one applies depends on your position and what the purchase has to do.

Capital growthEstablished property in markets with the fundamentals for long term growth.
Cash flowRental returns and holding costs that support a portfolio you can sustain.
Manufactured equityRenovation, subdivision and value add opportunities where the numbers stack up.
BuildingHouse and land and new builds, with the land, supply, build cost and end value assessed together and the build run through to completion.
Units and townhousesConsidered where affordability, yield, scarcity and location create the opportunity.
DevelopmentSubdivision and development opportunities for the investor whose position and goals support them.

Building and development

Not every purchase is something already built.

Some briefs are answered better by building than by buying. We take on house and land, new builds, and subdivision and development projects, and we run them the same way we run a purchase: the numbers first, then the site.

House and land, and new buildsLand and build assessed as one project: the land, the builder's contract, the build cost, the timeline and the end value. A build only makes sense when all five do.
Renovation and value addWhere equity can be manufactured rather than waited for, we cost the work against the lift it creates before the property is bought, not after.
Subdivision and developmentDevelopment sites for investors whose position, borrowing capacity and goals support them, with the feasibility done before an offer is made.
Managed to completionA build does not stop at the contract. We stay across it through the build and into the first tenancy, then into the portfolio review that follows.

Melissa built her own portfolio this way, using building, developing and renovating to manufacture equity, and it is one of the strategies the brief can land on.
