What are the advantages in using us?

Buying, selling and investing in real estate involves some of the biggest decisions and financial committments people will face in their lives. Thorough research and a sound knowledge base is the key to stress free real estate transactions. Not everybody has the time, the confidence, the inclination or the resources to do property investment by themselves, especially for their first. For many other people we have simply been a more efficient way of helping to grow their property portfolio.

Finding a Property

Our data base of Australian Property [including quality builders and developers] is the result of extensive research and over 20 years experience in property investment. We are very selective and find the right property to suit the individual investor. Property selection and referral is included in our free services.

Australian Residential Property Planners refers to licenced real estates (in the capital cities) who will source and arrange inspections of properties that fit the recommended investment criteria. ARPP liaises and assists in a smooth transition from property selection and purchase, finance and construction, right through to tenant selection and beyond.

Why Australian Residential Property Planners ?

Property Investment is a specialty field, most real estates are geared towards the owner occupier purchaser. The Real Estate agents way usually results in a much too heavily negative cash flow. Why? Because the properties recommended are often second-hand, as a result the out of pocket expenses are higher as the depreciation does not give you the same level of tax benefits associated with new properties. The result is a heavily negative cashflow!

Secondly, most Real Estates are geared towards selling the properties they happen to have for sale according to the area they cover, usually with emphasis on their auctions and sole agencies as this is how they achieve their highest commissions. In other words, they are working for the vendor not the purchaser. We refer you to a licenced Real Estate who specialises in investment property.
