ADF HOUSING INVESTMENT PROPERTY: SUCCESS STORY of Navy Member & Marketing manager
Mick and Cate first came to us in Feb 2021. With 10 years under his belt in the Navy, Mick is a brute of a man with a decent 🧔♂️ beard, beautiful soul and larrikin nature; Axon was the perfect fit for his character. Cate is also kicking butt in her role as a marketing manager in the retail sector.
When asked how they think Axon can help them, Mick outlined this: 𝑆𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑒 𝑢𝑝 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑦 1𝑠𝑡 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑦 𝑠𝑜 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑖𝑜𝑛.
Simple and straightforward, just the way we like it here.
At first, it was Mick driving the property bus with his girlfriend, Cate, watching on the sidelines. That’s fine; individuals can acquire property if the numbers stack up. During our initial ☎️ call, Mick literally turned around and put Cate on the spot and asked if she wanted in – it was the first real test of how committed she was…needless to say, they joined forces with this property, and now they’re married! 💒
They had to embark on a dedicated savings plan, and now they were officially DINKs. In Mick’s own words again: 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑡𝑠.

Yep, we got there in the end; 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞’𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲:
* Purchase price: $560K
* Land settlement: Nov 2022
* Key handover: Oct 2023
* Same land and build value now: ~$685K
* Rental income: $530pw (took 2 weeks to find tenants)
This property is located in a massive master-planned community in the South-Western growth corridor of Brisbane. Noting the capital growth that’s already occurred, Mick’s retirement will ❤️🔥 love this first property.
Fast forward to now. Mick and Cate are just about to settle on the land in preparation for the building of IP#2. They are both action-takers and firmly focused on creating some real 💰 wealth before pivoting towards starting a family in a couple of years.
Recently, we received a long and detailed review from Mick and Cate about their experience using Axon. An extract is below:
