Property Investment – Taking that first step…

Having helped hundreds of people get into property investment over the years, the one thing that
is consistent amongst most of them is the fear of taking the first step and the fear of the unknown.

Many clients are concerned about how little superannuation they have or they heard their friends
or neighbours had purchased an investment property and they silently wondered why they
couldn’t do the same. When I ask the question what has held them back, the response is generally
that they didn’t know enough about it. Once their questions get answered and the processes get
explained, many people feel more at ease and can use their newfound knowledge to make a more
informed decision.

With any large financial decisions, it pays to have a good team of experts around you to guide you
through your decision and beyond. From mortgage brokers or lenders, to conveyancers, to
property managers, to having the right accountant to help you out initially and on going. Many of
these professionals have fees for their services and these are understandable given the extent of
their knowledge and the benefits they bring to you. As an investment and home buyer’s advocate,
My Property Buyer is also a fee for service business where you tap into our decades of experience
to access a myriad of information to help you get to your end goal. The benefits of a buyer’s
advocate are in the planning and research of property purchasing as well as the negotiation of the
ideal property once we’ve located it with you. For investors, our fee is tax deductible and often
our buyer’s advocate fees are well and truly saved through our calculated negotiation skills
resulting in a lower purchase price for your ideal property.

So whether it be where to buy, what to buy, how much to pay or simply whether or not you are in
a secure enough position to actually do something now or in the future, our role is to educate you
and from there you make the final decision… the decision to wait a little longer or the decision to
take the next step…
