Investing in property is a great way to create wealth and provide you with a passive income for years to come. It’s also one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, so it’s important to get it right. Part of this is choosing a great team to support you through each stage of this exciting journey. Buying, selling and managing properties is the Professionals' business, and we're passionate about what we do. So whatever option you’re considering, we can provide an abundance of knowledge, experience and expertise to make the process as simple as possible. We’d love to be part of your team.

Buying a property as an investment is different from a home as it’s a business rather than an emotional decision, so it’s important to approach it this way. Like any property purchase however, there will be a lot of decisions to make. We understand your time is precious. Here’s how we can help make the process as fast, straightforward and stress-free as possible:

Deciding to sell an investment property is a big decision. Whether it’s a short-term investment or a long-term rental property, knowing when to sell is a key aspect of your success as an investor. If you sell it too soon you could miss a spike in the market cycle. Leave it too late however, and its value might decline while you miss out on better investment opportunities.

A good property manager is worth their weight in gold. Whether it’s your first investment or you own a large portfolio of properties, we strongly advise using a qualified and experienced manager to look after your valuable assets. They’ll take all the stress out of managing your properties, leaving you free to do the things you enjoy.

Choose an agent

The first step is getting a real estate agent who can help you find a property that fits your criteria, in the area you want and for the right price. Remember, the numbers need to stack up when you’re buying an investment property. You may already have an agent in mind, but if not, you can call your nearest Professionals office and they will put you in touch with the right person.

Check your finances

Speak to the bank and make sure you know how much money you have for a deposit, how much you can afford to borrow and if you have funds for any renovations that might be required. You need to have a clear understanding of the overall costs involved so there are no surprises.

Selecting the right manager

There are many aspects to property management so it’s crucial you choose a manager who is trained, experienced and equipped to meet these ever changing needs. It’s also important you are comfortable with the company you’re dealing with.

Getting good tenants

Good quality, long-term tenants who care for your property will maximise your investment returns. Professionals’ managers will advertise your property to effectively attract a suitable tenant and ensure the best result for your investment. This could include websites, office window displays, brochures, emailed newsletters and ‘For Rent’ signboards. Once an application for tenancy is lodged by a prospective tenant, we’ll check their rental history, employment and references.
