The market has turned, did you notice?
I have been studying the market with interest these past few weeks. Despite what you may still be hearing out there in the media, the market has turned. Prices have plateaued out and are on the way back up. We've recently attended auctions for clients in Box Hill and Blackburn and I can tell you first hand the market there is piping hot!

6 Things our Clients thank us for!
We often get asked: what's the difference between a buyer's advocate and a real estate agent? The key difference between a buyer's advocate and a real estate agent is who they represent.

Here is a golden rule for your investing. Rather than buy first then wonder, how do I get a tenant, why not buy with the tenant in mind? For the suburb that you are looking to buy in, go into the real estate agency, walk past the sales guy/gal, sit down with the rental manager and ask them: Then go and buy that sort of property.
