Buyer Brief
Kanishka and Anu, a professional Sydney couple with a young family, wanted to expand their portfolio using their Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF). They set a budget of $650,000 and aimed to purchase an investment property in Brisbane with strong capital growth potential. They also wanted a property in good condition that required no renovations and could remain neutrally geared.
Because they were unfamiliar with Brisbane and lived interstate, they needed qualified property investment advisers on the ground. After a recommendation from a previous client, they engaged Home Scouts Buyers Agents to take charge of the search and acquisition.
Our Approach
At first, the couple hoped to buy a freestanding house. However, their budget limited what was available within a reasonable commute to Brisbane CBD. To overcome this challenge, we suggested an alternative strategy: look at townhouse investments in premium Brisbane suburbs.
From there, we carefully shortlisted suburbs. We considered their budget, capital growth objectives, and the fundamentals that drive long-term value. These included major infrastructure investment, proximity to transport and schools, and local lifestyle amenities.
Next, we inspected a range of properties across Brisbane. After reviewing the options, we identified a townhouse that ticked every box for yield, capital growth, and location. We moved quickly to complete due diligence, prepare a pricing strategy, and negotiate with the agent.
Because the property attracted multiple offers, having a buyer’s agent gave our clients a clear advantage. Our involvement gave the seller confidence, and our negotiation secured the property. Once the contract was finalised and the building and pest inspections were completed, we introduced our clients to trusted property managers to ensure a smooth handover to tenancy.
