Client Background: Our clients Katie and Seb are corporate professionals who were looking to expand their property portfolio. They had done a couple of purchases in the past with two of these being brand new / off the plan properties their financial planners facilitated. The brand-new properties purchased didn’t see the growth that was hoped for and one even valued 20% lower than the purchase price!
They were encouraged to purchase further new properties; however, they sought visibility on the commissions received by their financial planners. They were not allowed this visibility.
Given the track record with the previous deals, Katie and Seb had decided the next purchase would be an established property.
This next purchase was done as part of their Self-Managed Super Fund.
What was important to them: They wanted a property which gave them capital growth over the longer term, that will put them ahead with growth and cashflow.
They purchased a 4 bed, 2 bed house in South East Queensland in a tightly held after owner-occupied appeal suburb.
