Success Story

ADF HOUSING INVESTMENT PROPERTY: SUCCESS STORY #74

This is a success story that everyone should be inspired by!

 
After being referred to us through a mate who had built a house with 🙌 Axon, we first met Phil in March 2022. He is a single RAAF Pilot posted to Newcastle, loving life with his mates and regularly flying high-end platforms.

 
Phil had been brought up in a family that values education around money and wealth. (Yep, that’s also something that you should all be inspired by: “intergenerational wealth”). To his credit, Phil applied himself and came to us in a 💪 strong position (cash and shares). But, having this is never enough to be successful.

 
When we asked Phil how he thinks Axon can help him, his response was: “𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 (𝘦.𝘨. 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘪𝘯, 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴) 𝘢𝘴 𝘐 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.

During the coaching series that all of our clients must complete, we created a plan based on keeping his assets untouched – rather than focusing on gifted funds from mum and dad to form the deposit and costs allowing the acquisition of two brand new investment properties. 🏠🏠 Over the following weeks, we assisted Phil in placing 2 x EOIs on land and build packages. Submitting an EOI locks 🔐 everything in “at today’s prices’. This is especially important for IP#2.

 
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗣#𝟭. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘀:
* Purchase price: $595K (330m2 block and 182m2 house, FULL turn-key)
* Start of construction: Jan 2023
* Key handover: Aug 2023
* Same land and build value now: ~$675K
* Rental income: $540pw


The property is located in a massive master-planned community of SEQLD. The QLD Govt is building a city 🏙️ the size of Darwin there over the next 10 years. Phil now has a flag in the sand during the very early stages. We can all sit back and watch IP#1 do its thing in a buoyant market!

 
From here, we will do our usual ♨️🧼 hot-wash process for IP#1, and we can pivot towards commencing the build for IP#2 (build start early 2024). As Phil placed an EOI in late 2022, he is already around $75K ahead on IP#2.
