How we manufactured $95,000 in equity on a single deal 📈👇

We didn't just buy a house—we built value from day one:

The Buy: Negotiated $10k off the asking price using a stumping issue quote as leverage ($530k final price).

The Value-Add: Cut builder quotes almost in half by assembling our own crew—converting a 3-bed into a 4-bed, plus a full bathroom remodel for $55k instead of $98k.

The Result: Bank valuation came back at $680k, leaving $95k in net equity. Weekly rent jumped from $430 to $520, boosting the yield to 4.6%.

We find the properties, run the numbers, and manage the project so our clients can scale effortlessly.

This is what happens when you buy the right property at the right time in the right area. This client now has enough money to go off and buy their next investment property! That means they don’t have to save a deposit again!

One tip I can give out for a value add purchase is to look for the "Bedroom Gap".

Before you buy a property, look for suburbs with a wide price disparity between 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes
Why? Because in the right suburb, a 4th bedroom can add $90,000+ in end value but building the wall to create it only costs about $4,000 to $6,000.

Here's the quick formula:
🔎 Find a suburb where 4-beds sell for significantly more than 3-beds
🏡 Buy a 3-bed property with an oversized second lounge or redundant family space
🔨 Build a compliant stud wall with a window and independent access
🚀 Capture immediate forced bank equity and a substantial weekly rental boost
⚠️ Rule of Thumb: If a suburb's price gap between 3 and 4 bedrooms is only $5,000, don't bother, there’s no arbitrage there.

Should we hold this it sell it? We talk about a property we bought in July 2024 for $435,000 that’s now worth $620,000, with a total project cost of $1,173,We explain why we’re not selling despite a potential profit of $379,440 after tax, but instead refinancing to release $421,000 tax-free and keep a positively geared asset generating $2,000 a week in rent. We discuss the strategy of building a five-bed rooming house on a subdivided block, the importance of relationships and off-market deals, and how negative gearing changes are driving demand for high-yielding assets.

Really happy with how this one has played out for Shaun.

Shaun is a returning investor who’d already done well with us in SA, and when he came back, he had a pretty simple brief.

He wanted a good property, decent land, solid rental income and something he could just hold without having to constantly work on it.

We secured this one in Victoria for $625k, sitting on 709sqm with a 4.2% yield from day one.

Now, 1.7 years later, it’s valued at around $740k.

That’s about $115k in equity growth, while the property is still renting well.

And honestly, this is the stuff I love seeing.

Shaun didn’t need to take on a massive project or chase the next “hot” suburb. We just found a property that made sense for his strategy and got it done.

Really happy for him and the result he’s got here. 🥳

Good property. Good numbers. Good outcome.

JUST BOUGHT 🏡

The client's brief was around $900,000, but we never see the budget as a target that needs to be spent.

The goal is to secure the right Property for the strategy.

This one was secured in Tasmania for $625,000. 🔥

✅ 4.7% to 4.9% estimated yield
✅ $570 to $600 per week estimated rent
✅ 562sqm land
✅ Secured off-market

The Property ticked the boxes, the numbers stacked up.

Massive congratulations to our client. Another good one secured. 🔥

Growth or cash flow?

A question I see investors get stuck on all the time.

Turnkey gives you simplicity and cash flow from day one.

Value add gives you the opportunity to manufacture equity and improve the Property over time.

Neither is the "right" answer for everyone.

It depends on what your portfolio needs next.

Know that before you start looking at Properties.

Spoiler alert, the answer is $26! We break down the numbers on whether to invest in established properties or new builds after the government scrapped negative gearing. We walk through a comparison of two $750,000 properties, showing that after 13 years, the difference in net profit is only $26, but established properties offer better capital growth and cash flow management. We emphasize focusing on assets with real growth potential rather than chasing tax perks.
