First home buyers buy 3 properties in 2 months and amass $265K in INSTANT equity!
Overview:
Prior to consulting with REIF, the client’s wanted to purchase their first home but were unsure on where to start. They engaged the services of REIF after receiving a recommendation through their network.
​
The client’s position was conservative with $250,000 in available funds to support their goals.
​
Solution/ Results:
In the onboarding process, REIF were able to establish the needs of the clients after doing a holistic analysis and fact find. Once this was established, the clients were appointed a REIF Property and Finance Specialist who could best support their circumstances.
​
The clients were eligible to incorporate the First Homeowner’s Grant of $15,000 and the Federal Government Home Builder Grant of $25,000.
Integrating these grants within the client’s position represented the ability to acquire a property in an ideal location with a positive future forecast as a strong investment.
​
REIF sourced a suitable property option in a high-growth corridor of South East Queensland. The property investment analysis predicted marketability and solid foundations for the clients to create a future portfolio.
​
Furthermore, the eligibility of Government grants and affordability meant that the clients were able to retain their initial deposit of $250,000 and utilise the incentive funds in their purchase.
​
Within a short period of a month, they were able to return to REIF for their next property and enquire on an additional investment option. With the savings initially retained, they purchased a duplex in another area forecasted for substantial growth. The property came prequalified for subdivision, composing two separate dwellings to draw income.
​
Upon settlement and from the initial expression of interest on this property, the investment cultivated an equity uplift of $265,000 upon the initial purchase price.
​
Furthermore, the equity has enabled the deposit to be funded relinquishing the client's own funds from the purchase.
19-year-old investor makes $284,000 in equity from two investment properties
Overview:
When initially introduced to Real Estate Investment Finance, this Sydney-based client was 19 years of age (in 2018). The client was a casual retail worker who’d saved a significant nest of savings over several years. After identifying that they wanted to invest their savings into real estate, the client approached the services of REIF to facilitate their needs.
​
Solution/ Results:
The client initially participated in REIF’s onboarding process. Our expert wealth creation team worked with the client to analyse their long-term financial goals.
​
Several properties were proposed to the client by one of our Property Specialists; based on a borrowing capacity already determined by an REIF Finance Broker. The properties introduced to the client had locational benefits and were forecasted for capital growth. The property that they chose was a townhouse located approximately 17kms from the Brisbane CBD.
​
The client’s Finance Specialist was re-engaged in the sale process to lodge a home loan application. They presented the client with a range of home loan products suited to their needs. Once the consumer selected a product to proceed with, the Specialist facilitated all the consumer's home loan documentation in a timely, stress-free manner.
​
The client was left to read and sign-off on the application if they were satisfied, which they were. The home loan application was submitted and approved by the chosen lender on the first submission.
​
Since the completion of their property over three years ago, the client has seen an $84,000 uplift in their townhouse’s value. Recently, they’ve been able to use this uplift to purchase a second investment property to add to their portfolio. The recently purchased property was a dual living house and land located in the fast-growing investment hotspot, Logan Reserve. This dual living property is still not completed, and the client has already made instant equity on it, valuing $200,000.
