Success Story

ADF HOUSING INVESTMENT PROPERTY:
SUCCESS STORY of Psych officer and Insurance assessor

This is a success story that warms my heart, and I think you’ll love it too!


We received an enquiry from a lady named Kate back in March 2023. She knew we are a veteran-owned company in the property industry 🏡 and wanted to know more about our services. As part of the conversation, Kate informed me that she and her husband, Jordy, had recently been let down by a ‘similar company’, so began prodding to see if we would repeat that cycle…


Importantly, we discovered we had some mutual friends that are Axon clients. As one would expect, before they got started with us, Kate went and verified our status with them. The ADF community is so small and reputation is everything! I am glad we just scraped through… 😜


Kate is a Psych Officer in the Army and Jordy is an Insurance Assessor. Living in WA at the time, they were aware of the very long build times over there. After watching our educational 🎓videos, we put a plan together for Kate and Jordy to build their first investment property.


This is what they wanted from Axon: “We are seeking guidance to develop an investment portfolio which takes into consideration our particular circumstances as an ADF family. We understand Axon has a successful record in helping ADF members and their families make the most of their entitlements in addition to developing a workable investment strategy based on their personal needs. Ultimately we are wanting to make the most effective use of our entitlements combined with an investment strategy that suits the current and long term market. We feel Axon is well placed to help us achieve this.” ✅


Take a look at this beautiful property, the photos are stunning!

The property is located in a priority growth corridor of SEQLD. Current population is ~480,000. This is expected to grow to ~700,000 by 2041. which is not that far away if you think about it. That stat, combined with massive future infrastructure, will give Kate and Jordy a very good chance of ongoing capital growth.
Take a look at what Kate and Jordy said in their recent 5⭐ review:

Fast forward to now, Kate and Jordy are living in Adelaide (thanks to a sought-after posting for Kate). I told them to take a break from property for 6 months, and let IP#1 sit in the market. We will link up later in the year to put a solid plan together for what IP#2 will look like.


This is the best bit. Kate and Jordy are not just Axon clients. I genuinely call them friends of mine and look forward to another social catch up with Kate and to meet the great man Jordy! Oh by the way, Kate’s sister and her partner have nearly finished their first build with us. You’ll see their success story in a couple of months.
There is only one cycle

happening here 🔁 – one of success and happiness! 😁
