About Us

Australian Residential Property Planners [ARPP] is a property investment organisation initiated by Bruce Watt in the early 1980's with the goal being to assist investors Australia wide. ARPP evolved and grew out of a need for everyday investors to have access to property investment specialists in all the fields involved with investing in property. ARPP is able to refer potential investors to advisors who can help people considering property investment for the first time as well as existing investors in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and the Gold Coast.

Investment in property has been made easier by ARPP offering access and referral to a range of services from a panel of affiliated independant organisations, who specialise in property investment. These include professional consultants and qualified specialists in financial advice, accountant services, property insurance for investors, licensed real estates, conveyancing and rental management.

Australian Residential Property Planners is an organisation of property investors educating and helping others to do what they have successfully done. Our group is popular because it represents the buyer, and offers support throughout the purchasing process and ongoing service long after the property has settled. BEST OF ALL OUR SERVICES ARE FREE TO THE INVESTOR. We are funded through our many referral alliances with builders and developers throughout Australia

How do we help you?

Through the ARPP network of affiliates our goal is to provide people with simple, yet valuable information on the fundamentals of property investment, and to provide an insight into what makes a solid real estate investment, how to finance and protect your property investment, and how to maximise your investment return through professional property management.

Australian Residential Property Planners was set up to provide the knowledge and bring together the expertise and resources to enable investors to confidently invest in residential investment property with peace of mind through ongoing network support.

Our aim is to provide everyday Australians with the opportunity to enhance their financial situation through the effective co-ordination of a full range of affiliated specialised organisations with proven financial tactics designed for every stage of life.

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.
