‘Investor Finance has helped me double my portfolio within 12 months and profited at least 50% of my investment.

The best part is Investor Finance staff members are also investing in property and well trained to help other investors in achieving their goals’

‘We didn’t think we could ever afford to buy an investment property – we struggled to budget our weekly expenses with three teenage children. We owned a nice home though that had grown in value since we had bought it in 1995.

In 2003 we discovered the power of the equity in our family home. We realized that we didn’t need to wait until we had saved a deposit as the equity allowed us to borrow 105% of a new investment property’s value.

So we bought our first investment property late in 2003. The rental income paid for most of the loan, we managed to pay the rest and then we got a great surprise at the end of the financial year by getting some of our tax payments back from the government!

Before we knew it, we were hooked – within 3 years we had purchased 5 investment properties, in places all around Australia. We currently are organizing to buy a new home, and our equity growth has allowed us to keep our original home and turn it into an investment also.

So our property portfolio now totals 7 properties worth a combined value of $2.7 million. My husband and I often say “if only we had understood the power of equity in our own home even 5 years earlier…imagine where we would be now!’

‘Living in QLD, renting and on not on huge wages, we thought we would never afford to buy our own home , let alone an investment property – they were all just too expensive.

But in speaking with an Investor Finance strategist they showed us how we could get into a property and that we need to think ‘outside the square’. Once I had got my head around the fact that I don’t need to live in a property or even in the same town it opened up so many more possibilities. We ended up buying our first investment property in Western Australia, finding a block of land for $45,000 and constructing for about $110,000.

Straight after completion this WA property was worth $220,000, however we left this equity alone at this stage and went into a joint venture in QLD with some friends to make some quick cash. They had the deposit & we had the income to service the loan. We did a land and construction which cost about $410,000 all up – which we turned around and sold for $485,000. (it took about a year to complete as we did a lot of the work ourselves).

The money we made from this joint venture we used as a deposit to get into our first owner occupied property in QLD (we paid $335,000 which is now worth $410,000 –with a couple of minor renovations).

Whilst waiting for the construction on our Joint Venture to be completed we unlocked the equity from our first property (which had since doubled due to the boom in WA).

Over a period of 18mths, we have now managed to unlock & use this equity to purchase a further 5 investment properties – 2 in QLD & 3 in SA. Bringing our total to 7 properties including our own Owner Occupied property, with a total value of $1,765,000.  Not bad for a couple of 25year olds.’

‘Thanks Scott for all your help getting an approval for us.

We were convinced no main stream bank would touch us with our list of previous issues but you were positive, confident and tenacious enough to pull it off!

Not only did you get us an approval, but an awesome interest rate to match, we are truly impressed and grateful for what you have achieved.

Thanks also for your great communication throughout the whole process, you always made us feel like we were the most important people to you at any given time.

We cannot speak highly enough of your service look forward to giving you plenty more business in the future.’

‘We had a client who came to us with his own home and 3 investment properties.  All of his properties were with the same lender.  The client wanted to keep as many of these properties with that lender as possible because he was a loyal customer.  However, he wanted to purchase another 3 more properties.  With his current lender he could only purchase 1 more.  Taking his wishes and goals into consideration, we were able to show him that by taking only 1 property to another lender that this would allow him to purchase 2 – 3 more properties.  Imagine the growth of his portfolio when he chooses to do the same with his other properties!’

‘I have been working with Scott for near on 12 months and have found him to be an invaluable part of my investing team. Scott is very knowledgeable in the finance arena and having an investment mind set he quickly understands what I am trying to achieve. With this wealth of knowledge Scott has been able to source some fantastic solutions for us. I look forward to working further with Scott in the coming year.’

‘We just wanted to say a huge ‘Thank You’ for helping us buy our first home! You made the process so easy… to know you were looking after the financial side of things meant we could concentrate on everything else involved in purchasing a home!

We loved the fact that you discussed all our options and recommended a few strategies to help us pay our home off quicker… as well as discussing possibilities for the property in the future.

When we did come across a small hiccup with one bank, you straight away took charge to find us another suitable lender, without wasting any precious time.

You were such great source of enthusiasm… your excitement was infectious and even when we were stressed, you were there to pick us back up again and helped us find the excitement again.

You kept in constant contact… something a lot of people lack these days. You were there to keep us informed EVERY step of the way and you always made yourself available.

Now we have the keys and will be moving into our first home on Friday

Once again, thank you so much Scott… we couldn’t have done it without you.’
