How We Helped A Couple Without Any Investing Experience Go From Owning 0 To 7 Low Risk Properties
(And Set Them Up For a Secure Retirement)
Creating an investment property portfolio can seem intimidating at first. But this is one of the best ways to plan for the future.
Our clients, the Knights, used our services to set up for retirement. They selected properties for long-term capital growth. In just over three years, the property values grew by $500,000.
When the Knights contacted Think Investment Realty, they didn’t own any investment properties. They only had the home they live in. As they were new to the investment process, they came to us with a number of questions.
With our help, they purchased 9 low-risk, blue chip properties across Queensland. This put our client on the path to a safe and comfortable retirement. It also empowered them to consider future investments.
If You’re New to Property Investment
It’s natural to feel uncertain about purchasing your first investment property. You have no way of knowing the pitfalls.
Like the Knights, you may feel uncertain about whether you can afford this kind of investment. Is it safe for you to take on another second mortgage?
This is where we come in. During the course of our 36 years in the field, we have met many investors who were just starting out.
How to choose the right property – the wrong choice can hold you back for years.
How to find the right builders – we have already interviewed prospective builders and chosen the best ones. Our team will manage the entire process for you ensuring a fixed price contract, with no hidden financial surprises. This is a very unique service rarely found – and for no extra cost for you.
What about all the paperwork you will have to handle? Setting up an investment property portfolio requires an expertise that the average person doesn’t have.
We understand your point of view. But all of these questions have easy answers, so long as you have the support of a seasoned property investment firm.
Funding an Investment Property?
In our experience, investing in property always pays off. As long as you’re employed, you can afford to purchase an investment property.
But where do you get the funds for this substantial investment?
Use Equity
Getting an investment property can be an excellent choice for some families. The important thing is to learn how to leverage your equity.
In the words of Jack Childs, founder of Think Investment Realty: “Having unused equity is like having a suitcase full of cash buried in the back yard.”
The equity on your own home is an excellent place to start. Once you buy the property and find tenants for it, you can use the yield to make mortgage payments.
We find for you properties with high growth potential. As soon as the property value goes up enough, you can use your equity to fund another high-potential property.
And on it goes.
If you have any questions about this process, our team will be glad to help you out. We offer a personalized wealth coaching service. Here, we take a good look at your situation and look at where you are starting from and what you are trying to achieve and help you map out a plan to achieve it.
Reconsider Your Budget
We can introduce you to finance specialists who can take a look at your budget and help you make better use of your money and equity.
Additionally, they can help you reduce your debt through various means. For example, you may be able to consolidate your loans or your existing mortgage.
A good finance specialist can give you more than budgeting advice. They may help you rethink your current beliefs about money. You may find yourself more ready and able to invest after that.

So Where Do You Start?
1. Choose a Property to Invest In
Think Investment Realty can help you figure out your next move. If you’re willing to work with us, you won’t have to worry about choosing the right properties.
We research each property thoroughly before we present a comprehensive group of properties to you for consideration. Our team uses a specially developed rating algorithm. This helps us make objective decisions about the potential investment properties.
In the Knights’ case, the properties we suggested spanned all of Queensland. They included townhouses, units, and house & land packages. But if you have preferences about the area or property type, we can work with that
2. Sending an E.O.I. (Expression of Interest)
Once you have selected a property, it’s time to send your Expression of Interest to the developer or builder.
When they receive it, the property will go off the property market. The developer then draws a contract with your information.
Our team helps you with this part of the process. We also make sure to put you in touch with trustworthy contractors and developers. All of our professional connections are yours to leverage.
3. Negotiating and Signing a Contract
Don’t worry about the negotiation if it’s not your thing. Our team specialise in ensuring we get the best fittings at the best price we negotiate on your behalf while keeping you informed of every new development.
After the contracts are done and sent out to every party involved, you still have a few decisions to make about the management of your property.
We can help with this too. Our inspectors and database of property managers are at your disposal.
4. Supporting you to settlement
Now its back to finance so they can organise the loans, we support you to deal with solicitors, assist with the solicitors paperwork and organise everything for you from lodgement to settlement.
5. Ongoing Support
Troy and the rest of the team hold your hand through the whole process. Our qualified builder will inspect the property through each stage of the process giving you reports and photos along the way.
