Our client is a high-income professional working in IT. When he saw us in early 2020, he had owned a unit in a high-density building in inner city Melbourne.

We purchased an investment-grade house in Brisbane in May 2020 for him, and at the start of this year, our agent assisted the client to sell the Melbourne unit due to improving market sentiment.

Purchase price: $651,000 (May 2020)
Value: $960,000 (October 2022) à 16.8% annual growth per year

Carina Heights, QLD

Jessica, 22, approached Metropole seeking guidance on where to purchase her first investment property. Her goal was to purchase an investment property while still living at home and studying part-time.

Metropole’s recommendation was an interstate purchase. Jessica secured her first investment property in Carina Heights, QLD (x2 bed, x1 bath), for $491,000. In less than 12 months, this property has grown in value to $569,000.

Tarragindi, QLD

Our client came to us to grow their wealth and had one existing property in a secondary location.

They only had a small borrowing capacity for another purchase, and by selling this property they were able to afford a property in an A Grade, a blue-chip suburb in Brisbane. They purchased a house for $743,000 prior to COVID.

A recent valuation came back to $1.05mil, a 41% gain, allowing them to redraw some of that equity to purchase another investment-grade property.

Holland Park, QLD

Our client came to us seeking advice on how to grow a property portfolio after losing her family home in a separation. Being a single Mum, she felt her options were limited and her goals unachievable.

Working with our client we were able to delineate a safe investment plan that will see her exceed her long-term goals, without being a strain on her cash flow. In the space of 3 months, her mindset changed, and 12 months later the property has outperformed even our projections.

Tomas, VIC

Tomas, VIC

Tomas approached Metropole looking for guidance around his first property purchase.

Living in inner city Melbourne and wanting to remain in the area, our brief to Tomas was to buy a property interstate and continue renting where he currently lives. This rentvesting strategy enables Tomas to purchase a property with far greater capital growth potential than where he lives with a rental yield that doesn’t impact his lifestyle.

Tomas purchased a three-bedroom townhouse in Brisbane for $603,000 with a rental yield above 4.2%.

Adrian, VIC

Adrian, VIC

Adrian and his wife approached Metropole looking for advice on their existing position to enable them to invest in property again.

Our strategic property plan provided options both inside and outside of a Self-Managed Super Fund.

This strategic advice and assistance of our Buyers agent saw Adrian and his wife purchase a three-bedroom townhouse in an affluent suburb of Melbourne’s North-west for $1,040,000 with a rental yield of 3.6% and depreciation benefits.

Jess, Strategic Property Plan Client

Jess approached Metropole at age 21 seeking advice and guidance on how to best start her property investment journey.

When Jess engaged with Metropole, she was still living at home, at university, and working part-time thus wanting us to focus on a balance of capital growth and yield as this was her first property.

After engaging in our Strategic Property Plan service, the recommendation was to purchase an investment property. We spend less than her pre-approval amount, purchasing at $491k. Today the property is valued at $550k.

Graham, Strategic Property Plan Client

Graham approached Metropole at the age of 53, debt free, owning his home outright, with no investment property, and some money in supernation. We worked through the advantages and disadvantages of 6 strategies as Graham had multiple options and strategies available to him.

After going through our due diligence, our recommendation was to purchase 2 houses. The first property was purchased for $701k and is now valued at $965k and the second property was purchased at $665k and is valued at $770k (Internet prices not our BA analysis). Graham not only added two investment-grade assets to his portfolio but can go into retirement knowing he made the right choices.

The client came to us already having a $4M portfolio with property exposures in ACT, Sydney, and Adelaide and wanted to take it to the next level.

We put together a property strategy based on their passive income goal of $100K in 15 years’ time. Based on the modelling that we undertake, we determined that they only need 2 more investment-grade properties.

The Brisbane house was purchased at the end of last year for $951K. This property is now conservatively valued at $1.12M. The Melbourne townhouse was purchased in April for $1.13M and is now comfortably achieving a gross yield of 3.2%.

Property Renovation

Derby St, Northcote, VIC

This charming Californian Bungalow was in need of a facelift to best usher in a new chapter in the lives of its baby-boomer owners.

Architecturally designed, and with a heavy emphasis on carbon footprint, we went to great lengths to not only deliver thermal performance but to minimise our environmental impact throughout the process. From demolition to decking oil… We even fed and watered the chooks!

The transformation was breathtaking and we strive for every project to be every bit as excellent as this one.

Property Renovation

Binnie st, Brighton, VIC

At first glance, this particular property would have scared most home-buyers or investors off. We were able to see through this and carry out a full renovation.

By removing the wall between the lounge and kitchen, and supporting the roof load with timber beams, we achieved a far more attractive and valuable floorplan for the client.

Combining this with the full internal renovation and some basic gardening was a six-week project from start to finish.

Parkdale, VIC

Melbourne

Parkdale, VIC

The reason we focused on this property was firstly the location. Great suburb, great neighbourhood, and great street. The home was also owner-occupied and presented well and offered extra quality fixtures and fitting.

Finance was approved, the Contract of Sale was reviewed by our Solicitors and our Building & Pest inspection was also done.

We viewed the property on Wednesday — and purchased it prior to the Auction 2 days later on a Friday.

Oakleigh East, VIC

A family of 4 in search of their first home… wanting to remain in the area where they were currently living to not disrupt their lives. 

When we found the home, it was very familiar with what they were currently living in and only a 7-minute drive away. 

This home was on the market and priced well above our spending. Negotiations took several days. We successfully purchased within their budget and well under intrinsic value. Comparable homes had sold $25-$30K more.

Our client came through to the Vendor Advocacy service as he needed to sell his investment home, so we appointed a local agency and marketed the home for sale by auction. 

The client was disappointed when the property was passed in at auction for $50,000 less than his previous offers prior to the auction.

But we negotiated a successful sale with the highest bidder shortly thereafter and the vendor was delighted with the result.

Carrum, VIC

Melbourne

Carrum, VIC

Our client was a first home buyer who came to us with his strategic plan. He had read all the Michael Yardney books and listened to all the podcasts and subscribed to our newsletters. 

First home buyers need Buyers Advocates to keep them focused on why they are buying. Their first home is more likely not their forever home, therefore the investment mindset is needed.

We negotiated and successfully purchased the home for less than intrinsic value. Comparable sales were $30-$40,000 higher.

Buying the first home for the client was refreshing for us. We were reminded of the raw and real emotions first home buyers experience.

The client was ready to purchase his first home and did not want to make any costly mistakes. 

The reason we focused on this property was a) its location and b) its accommodation and c) the value and price.

Our client, the vendor, is based and living in NSW.  She recently attended our wealth retreat seminar and engaged our Vendor Advocacy service to help sell her apartments in Melbourne’s inner North suburb of Alphington.

After much consideration, we appointed the right selling agent and within the month we sold both apartments.

We had 2 buyers on the 2-bedroom apartment within the first two (2) weeks of marketing.  And we achieved a sale price of $100,000 above comparable sales in the complex.

After her divorce, single mum Rebecca was looking for a new home for herself and her boys to call home. Her search was very particular, as she needed the location to be convenient for the boys’ schooling and she wanted an extra ‘granny flat’ so that her father could come and stay also.

Through friends of friends, Rebecca was referred to me to see if we could help her find her dream home. She knew the suburbs she was wanting were very popular and the market was very hot. Within 4 weeks, we managed to find and secure a perfect home that the boys absolutely love.

Finlay Casey was a single young male that was looking to purchase his first home. Before reaching out to us, he had been searching and making offers for over 6 months. Every time he kept missing out, the market was moving higher. It was after missing out yet again that he quickly realised that he needed help to secure a property. 

Within 2 weeks of signing up, he was very excited as we had managed to secure an off-market property that ticked all of his boxes. Results like this show the importance of using an experienced Buyers Agent that has lots of connections in the area you want to purchase in.

After selling their home to upgrade, Jonathan and Rebecca Staples quickly realised that the market was moving very quickly and their dreams of upgrading were harder than they thought.  Although they had a long settlement — they ended up homeless and living in the downstairs area of their parents’ home.  

Rebecca had all the online searches set up and was actively sending us through what she thought were great options. We thoroughly investigated each one and showed them why we were rejecting most. With our help and guidance, we kept them from panic buying a lemon property and secured their dream home in their dream suburb.

Camp Hill, QLD

Our clients came to us wanting to expand their portfolio with another investment property.  With only a small budget of $500,000, we recommended the purchase of a well-located townhouse, as close to the CBD as possible, rather than a house further out in an inferior location.
 
For $491,000, we secured this townhouse pre-market with long-term professional tenants that wanted to stay on.  Only 6km from the Brisbane CBD, this townhouse sits within a highly affluent suburb of Camp Hill.  In a small complex of only 4 townhouses, this three-bedroom townhouse sits on a large 303m2 corner block, ensuring a high land to asset ratio.

An Agent that I had been working with for several years called me about an off-market listing in the highly sought-after suburb of Tarragindi. After inspecting the property with my client, we both decided it was a fantastic investment in a very tightly held location.

There were several reasons why this property represented a great opportunity including:

— Located 6kms to the CBD (12-minute drive)
— Highly sought-after location
— 100% land to asset ratio (we secured this property ta land value)
— Opportunity to renovate the house and develop equity
— 607sm site

The property was viewed off-market prior to the Auction campaign beginning, clients went through and liked the size, location the add-value potential. (Small security block, walk to the newly completed light rail, downhill walk to Coogee Beach, walk to UNSW, Walk to POWH and in a great school catchment area) so we prepared for the Auction. (Finance, contract review, strata review, budget set- we were ready). There were 5 registered bidders. We were successful on the day!

The clients have since renovated the bathroom and are very happy with their first home.

Mount Gravatt, QLD

Case studies

Mount Gravatt, QLD

We carried out a private inspection during the week – whilst the rest of the market had to wait till the Saturday – that allowed us to do most of our due diligence prior and had an offer ready to make on the weekend. We were advised that there were multiple offers submitted – and that condition, as well as price, would ultimately get the property secured – we ended up winning on the day with the best conditions due to the prior due diligence. 

The reasons we focused on this property were a) key location, b) 708m2 subdivision potential due to it being within its proximity to the local shopping centre – c) great family appeal with highly ranked School catchments, and offering a long term hold with a brick highest home.

Bentleigh, East

When l first viewed the property, it was under construction around 6 months from completion. My clients took a big leap of faith trusting my relationship with the builder whose reputation was triple-A to quickly negotiate the deal as the builder wasn’t aware that the property had now fallen into the new McKinnon Zone School catchment area that alone would add between 15-20% to the sale price.

The reason l liked the property was it was architecturally designed, and the finish was the high end which would make the property stand out when it came to achieving a strong rent. Also as mentioned it was in the school zone which will make it easy to rent. It has excellent access to parks, transport, shops, and lifestyle choices.

Sydney

Rushcutters Bay, NSW

We viewed the property on Thursday — showed clients on Saturday — were advised that owners were open to offers prior to the auction so did all the due diligence and submitted the offer on Monday. The vendor was in Singapore so we had to wait for an overnight response but purchased it on Tuesday. We negotiated a later settlement due to Christmas shut down to avoid downtime and not being able to get trades in.

The reason we focused on this property was a) its location (close to Rushcutters Bay, parks, transport, shops, restaurants, cafes) and b) its rooftop terrace — as big as the apartment which has a Harbour & city view.

Initially, they were looking to purchase a large apartment within the CBD as they felt it would best fit within their budget, lifestyle, and family needs.

However, we initially ruled this property out, as it was priced around $100k over our client’s budget. This property originally went under contract at this higher figure, but the contract fell over. With the sellers needing to sell urgently and due to our strong relationship with the selling agent, we snared this property around our client’s budget the very next day.
