After

The Brief

When these clients first came to see us, they weren’t sure how to best use their savings — but they had a strong interest in property. Their goal was to learn about property development and begin with a small subdivision project that could generate extra income, build savings, and provide a pathway to financial freedom. They wanted land close to home so they could monitor the project’s progress and learn through hands-on involvement.

The Journey

  • December 2021 – Strategic property planning session completed to align goals and resources.
  • January 2022 – Clients connected with our trusted network of brokers, solicitors, and inspectors.
  • June 2022 – After multiple offers, we secured a block in Morningside that ticked all the boxes with favourable terms.
  • February 2023 – Clients were presented with builder options tailored to the target market.
  • May 2023 – Fixed-price contract executed with their preferred builder, ensuring financial certainty.
  • July 2024 – Landscaping design finalised and contractor secured.
  • December 2024 – Keys handed over after our team completed thorough defect checks.
  • January 2025 – Both properties successfully rented, generating immediate cash flow.

The Results

  • Lot Purchase Price (2022): $1,390,000
  • Construction Costs: $1,610,000
  • Total Investment: $3,000,000
  • Valuation (2025): $4,400,000
  • Equity Gained: $1,400,000 – 46.7% growth
  • Gross Rental Income (2025): $3,200 per week (~5.5% yield on total investment)
  • Leverage Potential: Equity gained could fund deposits for multiple additional projects or investment properties.

Outcome

This project transformed uncertainty into success. With strategic planning, guided land acquisition, and development advice, the clients not only gained valuable hands-on experience in property development but also built $1.4M in equity in just three years.

Today, the properties generate strong rental income, providing both passive cash flow and future capital growth. Most importantly, this first project has given the clients the confidence and equity base to pursue larger developments — setting them firmly on the path to long-term financial freedom.
