Client Background: Jen and Luke were first time property investors. They were renting in Sydney and wanting to start their property journey. They had spoken with friends living in Melbourne and hoped to get a property through personal recommendations. Though they realised that just chatting with friends about a “good area” to invest didn’t mean it was a relevant deal for their goals.
What was important to them: Jen and Luke wanted to build financial security for themselves and their family. Whilst they were happy to rent where they wanted to live, they wanted an asset growing and working for them. Their goal is to continue expanding their property portfolio.
