Why a strategy

Avoid the problems investors only find after they buy

Each one is set before the purchase, by a decision made on purpose or left to chance. A strategy makes those decisions first.

  • Stuck at one property

    Your first purchase can use up your savings and your borrowing power, leaving nothing for the next one.

    A strategy Plans your next purchase before the first

  • Costs you didn't plan for

    Rent may not cover the loan, rates, insurance, repairs and the weeks between tenants, and the gap comes out of your own income.

    A strategy Sets what you can afford to hold each year

  • A suburb picked by habit

    Buying near where you live can feel safe, but jobs, transport, rents and new building nearby shape how a property performs.

    A strategy Picks where to buy by your goal, not by habit

  • The wrong property for your goal

    A property bought for rent when you needed growth, or for growth when you needed income, can work against you for as long as you own it.

    A strategy Decides growth or cash flow before the property

Decide growth or cash flow first, so the property fits your goal

Two properties compared: one earns more rent for its price and often grows in value more slowly, the other earns less rent and often grows faster.

Cash-flow property. More rent, slower growth Rent for the price, Growth in value.

Growth property. Less rent, faster growth Rent for the price, Growth in value.

Illustration only. Every property is different.

Properties that earn a lot of rent for their price often grow in value more slowly, and those in the fastest-growing areas often earn less rent. Investors often lean one way, depending on their income, their timeline and how many properties they want to own.

What the choice changes

  • Which suburbs make your shortlist
  • What the property costs you to hold each year
  • How soon you could buy the next one

Start with a free property strategy assessment: a few quick questions about where you are now.

No surprises after settlement

Whether a property makes you money often comes down to what its listing photo leaves out.

Check before you make an offer

  • What the houses next door actually sold for
  • How many rentals nearby sit empty
  • How much new housing is coming to the area
  • Whether the street sits in a flood zone

The free property research toolkit walks through each of these checks.

Where you're starting from

Find the first step in your strategy, whatever stage you're at

  • Paying off your home

    The equity you've built in your home may be enough to fund the deposit on an investment property.

    What matters most How much of your equity you can use

  • Own your home outright

    With no mortgage, you may be able to borrow against your home to buy an investment, without selling it.

    What matters most What a lender will let you borrow

  • Renting, with an investment property

    You've bought once already. How your first property is performing shapes what you can buy next.

    What matters most Growth or cash flow for property two

  • Renting

    You can rent where you want to live and buy an investment where the numbers work.

    What matters most A suburb where the property pays its way

Frequently asked questions

What's the catch? Why is the assessment free?

There's nothing for you to pay. If your enquiry suits one of our referral partners, they pay us for referring it, and what we're paid doesn't depend on whether you go ahead with them.

Will someone call me?

Yes, if your enquiry suits one of our referral partners. We share it with one independent property investment or real-estate service provider, who may contact you by phone, SMS or email about it.

Am I committing to anything?

No. You're under no obligation to use a referral partner, buy a property or go ahead with any service. What you do next is up to you.

Do I need to own a home?

No. The assessment starts with where you are now, whether you're paying off a home, own one outright or rent, with or without an investment property.

Should I wait for a better time to buy?

Nobody times the market perfectly. A strategy tells you when you're ready instead: when you know what you're buying for and what you can afford to hold for the long term.

Who am I dealing with?

Aussie Property Investing, an Australian property investment enquiry and referral service. We don't provide property investment services ourselves, and our referral partners operate independently of us. Our company name and ABN are at the foot of every page.

What happens to my details?

This page collects none. When you fill in one of our forms, your details come to us, and we may share them with one referral partner, who may contact you about your enquiry. The Privacy Policy linked on that form sets out how they're handled.
