ADF HOUSING INVESTMENT PROPERTY: SUCCESS STORY #14

Welcome to the first success story of 2022. This is something we have NEVER done before – showcase 3 x client stories in the ONE post… read on. 

BLUF: these are all serving ADF members that are now living in their own homes in Brisbane (aka PPOR).

They all used a combination of free money provided to them from Defence and the QLD Govt (~$11K HPAS, $15K FHOG, DHOAS loans, and $25K HomeBuilder Grant). 
These are 4Br, 2.5Bathroom, DLUG, premium, brand new Townhomes. Check out the images – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better first home, right in the heart of Brisbane’s Northern growth corridor. All properties were occupied in Nov/Dec 2021. 

Investment Property Success Story Details: 

  • Properties: ~$530K (market appraisal of similar properties is over $600K). 

We took care of the project management of these builds, interacting with the construction team from one of QLD’s best builders. The clients literally did NOTHING during the build – they just got the keys handed to them at settlement and moved in! 

Looking ahead, once these ADF members post away from Brisbane, they turn these properties into pure cash cows (investment properties).

That is, they KEEP all the free money, start receiving rent, write all expenses off on tax and maintain their DHOAS loan. THREE forms of income – how good is that? 

Attn: ALL if you’re posted to Brisbane (RAAF AMB or GAL Bks), especially if you’ve just arrived: it is an absolute NO-BRAINER that you get a plan together to pull the trigger on your ADF and Govt housing entitlements… the Brisbane market is going off and the scenario I just painted above can happen to YOU. 


Well, there you have it folks – our first success story for 2022. Rest assured, we have dozens of ripper success stories coming your way. Everyone has their own story and I know you’ll love relating to them all 

Let us know what you think of this one.

ADF Housing: Investment Property Success Story #78

Back in March ‘21, Amy was introduced to us by another client. (The constant referrals within our community are humbling to be involved in!). She was a Learning Development Coordinator, not in the ADF. She was coachable and definitely needed some assistance in the whole process.

She had been diligent with her money habits and mindset, with a good amount of savings under her belt. However, we needed to put a plan in place for her to keep saving so the acquisition of her first property was done in a sensible way. This happens all the time. The fact she had financial milestones to reach helped her immensely in getting there!

We first met R&K in Aug 2020. They wanted to secure their financial future using property. Posted to Wagga (R was an RI at Kapooka and K was a civvie Dental Assistant), after a series of coaching sessions, we implemented a plan and strategy for them to acquire IP#1. That $457K property was built without any issues in 2021. Happy days, a good start for R&K.

M&V are a double-defence couple posted to RAAF AMB in Brisbane. After watching our educational videos, they came to us in March 2021. They needed guidance on all things money management and proven strategies to follow.

ADF Housing: Investment Property Success Story #75

This inspirational young lady came to us way back in June 2021 at age 20! 20! Already possessing great money habits and a desire for success, she had an openness to learn how to invest the right way. Ella was remarkably clear about what she wanted to achieve and knew that she needed to seek guidance from professionals to ‘force multiply’ her well-established position. With the deposit and cost already saved and a yearning to move with a sense of purpose towards her goals, it was time to put a plan and a strategy in place to set her on an even greater path to success.

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.
