Obsessive Research

There’s a saying that ‘knowledge is power’. We’ve proven it over and over again.

Our track record of uncovering high growth, high yielding properties is the envy of investment advisors across the country.

Each year we spend in excess of half a million dollars in research and well over $50k per annum in data subscription services alone. One of our Founders, Lianna Pan, is one of only 3000 qualified actuaries in the country and has been researching deep into the property market for over 15 years. The team have formulated a top down algorithm running all 15,000 suburbs in the country through a strict 13-point selection criteria.

Once we have identified an area of investment potential, we then apply a further breakdown on six major macroeconomic influences. The final step we take is performing due diligence on any developers that we would consider working with.

Our research department invest hundreds of hours each month buried in the latest economic data and following the latest news from federal, state and local governments so that we are the first to find out about new development opportunities.

More still, we can be found driving and walking around new areas just to get a feel for what a suburb is like on the ground.

This is how we have an edge over everyone else when it comes to what’s happening in the market and this is achieved through our sheer organisational size. Not only can we identify the top handful of suburbs to invest in, we narrow this right down to the very streets which will perform the best.

Once we have identified an area of investment potential, we then apply a further breakdown on six major macroeconomic influences.

The six key indicators are:

Future Housing Supply (vs underlying demand) Population Growth and Demographics

Rental Yields

Affordability Infrastructure Investment

Employment and The Economy
