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
Buying an investment
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.
Buying an investment
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.
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.
Buying an investment
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.
Buying a home
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.
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.
Buying a home
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 a home
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.
Buying an investment
Off-market opportunity purchase for our repeated clients to add to their SMSF.
After a disappointing building and pest inspection on another property we were considering, we offered this property to our clients.
The property was owner-occupied and offered many quality fixtures and fittings. Accommodating and spacious within good school catchments and a great neighbourhood.
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.
Buying a home
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.
Buying a home
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.
Buying a home
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.
Buying an investment
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.
Buying an investment
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
Buying a home
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.
Buying an investment
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.
Buying an investment
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.

This project is currently being built by a builder who is registered in Queensland. We bought the worst house in the best street in this high-end Brisbane suburb for our interstate (Melbourne) clients.
Buying a home
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.

Young Couples First Investment
Lily & Matt were busy young professionals looking to improve their circumstances by investing in property for their future. Their budget would not allow for a Sydney purchase, so we advised them to consider Brisbane.
We helped them locate a property 5km southwest of the Brisbane CBD, in one of Brisbane’s best-performing suburbs. Metropole assisted by being able to source and negotiate the property prior to the first open home.
The property was purchased for $740,000 in 2018. The average growth was 27% over that time. This property was revalued recently for $1.2mil a gain of 62%.

We were able to find a property in a strong northside suburb 8km from the Brisbane CBD. The property is located close to schools, shops, and a small walk to local parks and green space.
The property was secured for $480,000. Fast forward a decade and the property just sold for $881,000 after receiving multiple offers.

Stewart and Bree – rentvestors, who understood the importance of buying a house that would offer excellent long-term growth.
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.
During our discussion, we suggested they consider a villa unit, which is similar to a small house that would allow them to obtain their own outdoor space and room for their growing family.

— No more than 40 min Bike ride for Paul into the CBD
— 4 Bedrooms
Within 24hrs of Virginia arriving and taking her through three houses, we selected the most suitable one. In another 24hrs of negotiation, we were successful in securing the property along with lining up the settlement with the families moving time.

Our Sydney Buyer’s agent team helped a couple relocating from Melbourne to Sydney, due to work.
Our clients preferred the Sydney Eastern Suburbs, as they had a boat and wanted to get out on the water, but didn’t think they could afford a home close to the ocean and to the city, and thought they would have to live further out, but we surprised them with what we found.
Buying an investment
We provided our client with the benefit of decades of research and analysis, as we outlined why this particular property meets our strict search criteria. We were able to secure this property prior to the auction, which our clients were thrilled about, as they really wanted to avoid auctions.

We purchased this home which is approx. 3km to the CBD in the blue-chip suburb of Paddington in a quiet, tree lined street for one of our clients. It is within walking distance to all amenities and close to their work. The property has character and charm so they can live comfortably now but also provides a blank canvas and they can add value with future renovations.
Buying an investment
We snared this property at a great price for one of our clients. The location is superb, being around 6km from the Brisbane CBD, in the suburb of Tarragindi. 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.

We sourced a new townhouse in a high-growth location, east of the Melbourne CBD. Ignoring the plan and larger complexes, we sourced a stylish and spacious property in a small complex of only 3. A larger land component and an element of scarcity add room for superior growth over the longer term.
Paul & Valerie were looking for a partner rather than just a service to invest in a new property. They feel that Metropole has helped them to ‘remove the blinkers’ and give them confidence to invest into a property development outside of their suburb and in fact in a different city.
The team at Metropole helped Tim purchase a property in Stafford, Brisbane with a future potential to develop multiple properties.
Grace tried to secure the right property herself, but then quickly realised how much time, research and effort it was costing her. What’s more she realised that there were simply parts of the property investment process that she did not know and understand. Listen how Grace shares her experience and what happened when she contacted the team at Metropole.

Buyers Agents were able to find a property where we could add value over the longer term, by developing the site.
