Tapping Into Off-Market Opportunities

We mentioned the legwork and research involved in finding an investment property. One of the reasons a good buyer’s agent finds better opportunities than you is because they have created a network of contacts in the real estate market. As a result, they always know what’s available sooner than everyone else. You get to see opportunities before other buyers even know they’ve hit the market.

Seller’s agents often have off-market opportunities and reach out to their network of trusted buyer’s agents to help their clients sell fast. These home sellers want to avoid the hassle of ongoing showings. Off-market or pre-market properties are either not advertised or soon to be advertised properties. When you go it alone, you don’t know these properties exist. This is a priceless benefit in a highly competitive market where everyone is looking to earn easy profits in the real estate market.

Devising a Plan

Investment Property Buyer’s Agents assess your budget and goals to devise a plan to suit your needs. Although all investors want to build wealth, how and when they do it varies. A good investment buyer’s agent keeps your end goals in mind and looks at how they can make it work for you. This includes considering your income, borrowing capacity, other investments if you have them and even your age. Your purchase is based on equity building, whether it is improved opportunity through renovation or building, or creating more cash flow through rent. 



Avoiding Dud Investments

The only way you’ll see a return on investment is if you have a real opportunity to build equity. An Investment Property Buyer’s Agent understands the market and knows what properties are at an affordable price now, with the most potential to see an increase to suit your investment plan. Based on your goals, a good Investment Property Buyer’s Agent eyes the market and looks for opportunities whether it is a property you can sit on for a few years, or a property perfect to rent to earn income right away. When you jump on a property without understanding that particular market, you might waste time and money waiting for it to provide equity that never comes. As a result, you miss out on other opportunities because your money is tied up in a dud investment.



Opportunities Across Australia



The Australian real estate market is like any other. It all boils down to location. Location considerations for an investment property are different than location considerations when buying a home. You may want to avoid properties on a street with tiny ramshackle homes on unkept larger properties as a home buyer, but these types of properties could be exactly what you want as an investor. Your agent considers your goals and looks to the future to find opportunities to help you meet them.

If you want to rent your property, they look for properties in prime locations where people need homes now and into the future. If you can sit on your property for long-term growth or want to increase your equity potential by engineering growth through renovations or building, these are the types of properties your agent will find, not just in your hometown, but across Australia. In these cases, you need a buyer’s agent who has a strategy to get your money working for you by acquiring the right property in the best location using a feasibility and due diligence study. 



Growth Potential with Experienced Project Management

There’s a lot that can go wrong with property investments if you don’t know what to look for. In fact, what might be a nightmare situation for a home buyer could prove to be an opportunity for an investor. Your Investment Property Buyer’s Agent has a job to do which is to find properties with the most potential for growth. Often, they need to engineer that growth with the help of trusted tradespeople. This is very strategic, looking at all the elements of the market to find the right location, the right property and the right market conditions that will see you sell your newly renovated property for top dollar. Whether it is renovation, subdivision, building works and/or development, your Investment Property Buyer’s Agent’s goal is to grow your equity.

At the end of the day, every minute you spend searching for investment properties is worth something. It doesn’t really matter what else you could be doing. You might own your own business, run your own practice, or simply need more time with family and friends. Either way, your time shopping for investment properties could be better spent. An Investment Property Buyer’s Agent invests their own time so you can spend your time wisely. More importantly, they ensure you spend your money wisely, to see the best growth potential to meet your goals.
