Frequently Asked Questions

What does a property investment adviser do?

A property investment adviser helps clients identify and purchase investment properties that align with their financial goals. At Leverage Property Advisers, we go beyond simply finding properties—we provide tailored, data-driven strategies to help you build long-term wealth through smart, fit-for-purpose property investments.

How is Leverage Property Advisers different from a typical buyer’s agent?

Unlike many buyer's agents, we don't just help you buy real estate—we help you make strategic investment decisions. With over 20 years of experience, a background in financial planning, and a proven track record of successful purchases, we bring a deeper level of financial insight and personalised guidance to every client relationship.

Who do you work with?

We work with a wide range of clients including:

  • First-time investors

  • Rentvestors

  • Wealth accumulators

  • Pre-retirees

  • Busy professionals

  • SMSF investors

If you're looking to make a strategic investment that supports your long-term goals, we can help.

How do I get started?

The best place to start is with a free 30-minute strategy consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, review your current financial position, and outline a strategy that suits your needs. Book your session here.

What areas do you buy in?

We work across a wide range of locations throughout Australia—focusing on high-growth areas backed by data and leading indicators. Every location we recommend is tailored to your specific investment strategy, cash flow requirements, and financial goals.

Can I use the equity in my current home to buy an investment property?

Yes. Many of our clients use the equity in their existing home to fund their first or next investment property. We work closely with mortgage brokers to help you understand your borrowing power and create a financing plan that works for you.

Do you help with properties purchased through SMSFs?

Yes, but only where appropriate. We work alongside licensed financial planners to ensure that SMSF property purchases are suitable for your retirement goals and financial situation. SMSFs are complex and not always the best vehicle for property investment—we'll help you understand your options.

What does the process look like after our initial consultation?

After the initial strategy consultation, the process includes:

  • Confirming borrowing capacity

  • Signing an agency agreement and paying the engagement fee

  • Research and analysis of suitable locations and property types

  • Property sourcing, inspections, and due diligence

  • Offer negotiation and contract management

  • Tenant placement (where required)

What are your fees?

We charge a competitive engagement fee to begin the search and strategy process, and a success fee once the property is secured and tenanted. As part of our rental guarantee, you're not out of pocket for the success fee until the property is income-generating.

Do you only recommend off-market properties?

No—we source both on-market and off-market properties, depending on your goals, budget, and what will give you the best outcome. The key is securing the right property, not just the hidden ones.

What makes a property "fit-for-purpose"?

A fit-for-purpose property is one that suits your specific investment goals, cash flow requirements, timeline, risk profile, and overall strategy. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all investing. Every recommendation is made with your unique objectives in mind.

What makes a property "fit-for-purpose"?

That’s what the strategy consultation is for. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons based on your financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance to help you decide if property is the right fit—and if so, what type of property strategy makes the most sense.
