Tough news for the property community.

A major player in the buyer’s agency space, Dashdot, has entered voluntary liquidation (see article). This is incredibly unfortunate, not just for their business, but for the many clients caught in the middle.

For some, this may mean an initial deposit paid, a property journey left unfinished and uncertainty about next steps.

At Echo Property Group, we genuinely feel for everyone impacted. Situations like this can shake confidence and create a lot of stress.

If you’ve started the process with Dashdot, we want to help.

We will absorb your initial cost and apply it toward your buyer’s agency fee with us, so you’re not starting from scratch.

From there, we’ll help you:
• Rebuild a clear strategy based on your goals
• Source or develop an investment property tailored to you
• Move forward with certainty and support

This is about stepping up for people who need guidance right now.

If this is you, or someone you know, we’re here. You can DM us or book a call (via our page) to have an initial chat.

You can read more in the Dashdot article here:

In early 2019, Gabi and I started Dashdot with a grand ambition to "help 10 people make better property investing decisions".

Market Update!! What are we seeing on a daily basis? 🏡🏡

25/05/2026

$50K–$100K+ in growth… vs what most people can save in a year.

That’s the gap we break down in this video.

In many SEQ markets over the past 12 months, we’ve seen:

• $50K+ growth as a baseline
• Some properties pushing $100K–$150K+

Meanwhile, most people are doing the right thing, saving consistently.

But once you’re in the market, you can:

✓ Leverage equity as it grows
✓ Reinvest into your next opportunity
✓ Build momentum across your portfolio

We understand that getting into the market is the hardest step; we were there once, too, but what happened afterwards created real progress.

This is about understanding how the market can work for you over time.

If you’re sitting on savings or equity and unsure what to do next, it’s worth having a plan in place. Book a call with us:

Equity growth of $214K (59%) in just over 2 years.

Here’s a recent client win:
→ Purchased: $361,000 (March 2024)
→ Revalued: $575,000 (April 2026)

The strategy focused on purchasing in a high-growth area supported by strong fundamentals, then optimising the property for performance over time:

• Designed to improve rental appeal and long-term performance
• Aligned with the client’s broader portfolio plan

This client is an experienced investor who partnered with us to help execute while she focused on growing her business.

A clear strategy, backed by the right fundamentals, can make a measurable difference over time.

Less competition = more opportunity right now.

We’re seeing a shift in the market:
• Fewer buyers actively bidding
• Less competition on quality properties
• More room to secure strong deals

That matters if you’re looking to enter or expand.

Joel breaks down why timing matters less than having a clear plan, and how focusing on long-term hold + cash flow can put you in a stronger position over time.

The investors we’re working with right now are:
✓ Acting when opportunities present
✓ Building in cash flow to support repayments
✓ Holding assets for long-term growth

It’s a practical approach that prioritises consistency over perfect timing.

If you’re thinking about your next move, this is worth understanding.

Another duplex project kicking off 🏗️

We’re about to start construction on a duplex in Beerwah for a client who has built with us before.

They’re a busy professional and wanted the same thing again: a smooth, low‑stress build without needing to be involved in every little detail.

The build cost estimate is $794,561.

When clients come back for their second project, it’s a good sign that the experience delivered. We are so grateful that more than half of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals 🙌

If you’re thinking about a new build duplex investment but don’t have the time or headspace to manage it all, book a call with us to get started: https://loom.ly/77eQFlQ

This is why we always say: buy with a plan.

Joel gives an update on a property we picked up about 18 months ago on behalf of a client — and it’s a great example of how one good purchase can keep sn*******ng.

• Bought for $401k
• Did a simple 3‑bed rooming house conversion
• Now renting for around $1,200/week
• Revalued and refinanced to pull the conversion funds back out
• Subdivision done and a brand‑new rear lot created

Next step? Either a 5‑bed rooming house or a small house + secondary dwelling, depending on finance — both strong, in‑demand options.

No one buys an investment property hoping it’ll underperform… but it happens more often than people expect.

The tricky part?
Dud properties usually don’t look like duds at the start.

They often come down to things like:
• Overlooking infrastructure and population trends
• Buying into areas with too much supply
• Skipping proper inspections
• Letting emotion win over the numbers

Smart property investing isn’t about gut feel or hype. It’s about data, discipline, and knowing what really matters before you buy.

Slep prep underway on this 5 Bed, 5 Bath Rooming House in a HUGE growth corridor 🏡🏡

11/05/2026

$475,000 in equity in 12 months. This is exactly why waiting can cost you.

A client engaged us in March 2025 to deliver a five‑bed, five‑bath rooming house. We handled everything end‑to‑end - sourcing the land, managing the build, organising the furniture package and handing over to the Property Manager. From engagement to handover, it was a 12‑month process.

They’ve just had the property revalued by the bank:

• Their total all‑in spend was around $1.1M.
• The post-construction valuation came back at $1.575M.
• That’s a $475,000 uplift in just 12 months.

If they’d waited a year because life was busy or the timing didn’t feel perfect, this result simply wouldn’t exist. There’s no magic “right time” - there’s just the time you decide to take action.

If this resonates and you’re wondering what’s possible for you, our team is always happy to have a chat.
