Residential Investors

As investors ourselves, we understand that buying a property to live in and buying one as an investment are two completely different matters.

A property you buy as an investment may not necessarily be one that you want to live in and vice versa. Because of this, as an investor, you have a lot more options in choosing a property. You can explore suburbs that you may not be familiar with or consider living in yourself, but which may have good projected growth.

Through extensive research and meticulous calculation, we can help you to objectively identify the properties worthy of your investment. We also see it as a process of education for our clients and will take the time to go through our data and analysis with you.

Because we buy properties for a living, we can very quickly identify good opportunities. Whether it is a property which is underpriced, has a significant tax depreciation schedule or one which simply needs a quick cosmetic makeover, we can give you the edge by showing you the hidden gems that many buyers simply overlook.

Buying the right investment property requires more than just speculation and luck. Yet, it is not an exact science with foolproof formulas because each property is different. With OH Property Group, you can be assured that we will help you look at each proposed investment from all angles.

Some questions to think about when deciding on an investment property:

• What is your investment strategy? (e.g. buy and hold? flip?)
• What is your investment horizon? (e.g. 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?)
• What is your appetite for ongoing work? (e.g. a strata property is often lower maintenance because the Strata will manage most issues which arise.)
• Is your focus on rental return or capital growth?
• Do you want to purchase a property which you can renovate to add value or would you prefer a property which is already in good condition?
• What type of tenants would you like to have? This will determine the location where you should buy.
• How risk averse are you?
• Who will be managing the property?
• Would you or any of your family members ever move into the rental property in the future?

Checklist

If you answer ‘yes' to any of the following, we can probably be of assistance to you:

• You have been thinking and talking about buying an investment property but you work long hours and simply have not had the time to actually proceed with it.
• You are an experienced property investor who wants to make sure you have the best and most up to date information on the property market and individual properties so that you can make new profitable investments.
• You are a successful young professional who is living at home but would like to find an investment property.
• You are an interstate investor or Aussie expat abroad who would like to find an investment property to take advantage of expected long term capital growth or the booming Sydney rental market.
• You are looking to purchase a neighbouring property to develop but do not wish to disclose your identity.
• You are first time investor and lack the information needed to make a smart investment: buying at the right price (at or under fair value), in the right location (where long term growth prospects are high) and with full knowledge of the property (such as defects, maintenance, upgrade potential, etc).
• You are trying to grow your investment property portfolio but need some help as it's quite a lot to manage.
• You simply need help and motivation to get you moving forward.
• You want an independent, informed, unemotional and objective advocate to make sure that your interest is protected at all times.

• You just want to go through the process as carefully, quickly and painlessly as possible - and perhaps even have some fun along the way.
• You are willing to spend a little bit of money in order to save a lot more.
