Strategic Property Plan
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
Strategic Property Plan
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.
Strategic Property Plan
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%.
Strategic Property Plan
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.
Strategic Property Plan
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.
Strategic Property Plan
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.
Strategic Property Plan
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
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
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.
Metropole expert
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.
Metropole expert
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.
