Client Background
Joe, the breadwinner of a family of four, had diligently paid off their mortgage and was on the verge of becoming mortgage-free. However, he faced the question of what to do next. Living off a mortgage-free family home wasn’t enough to fulfill their long-term financial goals, and they lacked investment and retirement plans to secure their future.
Challenges and Concerns
Despite considering new builds and the government benefits associated with them, Joe had reservations. He questioned the cash flow negativity of these properties and doubted the capital growth potential due to their small land size.
Solution
To address Joe’s concerns and guide him towards a financially sustainable future, he participated in a free strategy session with us. We developed a 10-year plan that leveraged his existing resources and focused on building secondary income through property investments. Joe also joined our Property Formula Workshop and became part of our tight-knit community for ongoing support and knowledge-sharing.
Outcome
The results of Joe’s journey were remarkable. Within just eight months, leveraging our network and expertise, he successfully acquired three blocks of units in regional main centres with a total acquisition cost of $4.2 million. These properties were 100% financed using their freehold owner-occupied property. The portfolio comprised 17 rental units, generating a substantial rental income of $7,340 per month.
Future outlook:
Notably, each purchase was cash flow positive, despite the challenging interest rate environment and the recent changes to interest deductibility rules. Joe now has full confidence in his investment strategy, even assuming a conservative 6% annual capital growth. Over the next 10 years, this portfolio is projected to add an additional $3 million in equity, providing Joe with financial security and ensuring he will have more than enough for retirement. Additionally, it offers him the flexibility and options to support his children’s future endeavours.
