Case Studies

39 Maryland St & 3 Springvale St, Stafford Heights

Knowing the city plan in detail allowed me to buy this property without paying a premium for its subdivision potential

EQUITY MANUFACTURED - SUBDIVISION: $148,364 (27%)
EQUITY MANUFACTURED - BUILD: $231,381 (17%)
EQUITY MANUFACTURED - SUBDIVISION & BUILD: $379,745 (31%)

By taking advantage of my knowledge about recent changes to the city plan, I was able to secure this property in 2014 without paying a premium for the subdivision potential. After building two brand new houses, I was able to manufacture over $379,000 in equity and improve rental yield to 5.5%!

9 & 9A Laurie St, Carina Heights

How I secured a highly valuable subdivision project with rapid analysis and by acting fast

EQUITY MANUFACTURED - SUBDIVISION: $227,104 (34%)
EQUITY MANUFACTURED - BUILD: $156,395 (20%)
EQUITY MANUFACTURED - SUBDIVISION & BUILD: $383,499 (36%)

My experience allows me to conduct rapid due diligence and feasibility analysis on new properties as soon as they hit the market. This means I can fully evaluate the development opportunity and act faster than the competition.

56 Tranters Av, Camp Hill

How I knew the price was right with a detailed feasibility analysis

EQUITY MANUFACTURED - BUILD: $168,204 (19%)
INCREASE RENTAL YIELD: 0.9% (to 5.5%)
SAVING ON PURCHASE COSTS: $28,391

After making a conditional offer on this block for just over $400,000, I felt worried I had offered too much. But I trusted my feasibility analysis and that the project had the potential to manufacture equity. Now the same block of land is valued well over $1,000,000 so I am glad I trusted my analysis instead of letting my fears hold me back.

28 & 28A Maryland St, Stafford Heights

My renovation project was subdivided and manufactured over $240K in equity in 9 months

EQUITY MANUFACTURED - SUBDIVISION: $242,348 (49%)
EQUITY MANUFACTURED - BUILD: $173,558 (11%)
EQUITY MANUFACTURED - SUBDIVISION & BUILD: $415,906 (32%)

In the midst of the GFC, I acted fast to secure a deceased estate which would later be subdivided and result in the manufacture of $242,348 (49%) in only 9 months while still working full time.
