A great result for a returning investor client in Dakabin.

We helped this client secure their previous investment property. Around two years later, the cash flow and equity position from that purchase helped them move forward with their next investment.

This newly completed dual-occupancy property provides two separate dwellings and two potential rental-income streams from one property.

Based on current estimates, it is projected to deliver a gross yield of approximately 5% to 5.5%. It was also completed on time, within budget and to a very good standard.

Properties like this are generally not advertised online or listed publicly.

Why do many investors consider buying new property rather than existing?

A well-selected new property can offer several practical advantages.

Lower maintenance in the early years
New fixtures, appliances and building materials may mean fewer immediate repairs and less disruption for the owner and tenant.

Strong tenant appeal
Modern layouts, energy-efficient features, air conditioning and contemporary finishes can help a property compete in the rental market.

Greater cost certainty
A genuinely turnkey package can make it easier to understand the total cost upfront—provided the contract, inclusions and allowances are checked carefully.

Potential depreciation benefits
New properties may offer greater depreciation opportunities, depending on the property and the investor’s circumstances. A qualified quantity surveyor and accountant can provide advice.

Less renovation work
Instead of budgeting for upgrades before the property can attract a tenant, a completed new home may be ready to rent sooner.

However, new doesn’t automatically mean better.

The price, location, builder, rental demand, inclusions and long-term strategy still need proper research and due diligence.

At GCT Property, we help investors assess suitable locations and properties, understand the numbers and coordinate the professionals involved—from finance and legal pathways to inspections, settlement and property management.

A very special handover day for Leo and Penny!

Last week, they received the keys to their beautiful new property and officially began their next chapter as homeowners.

It has been an absolute privilege to support Leo and Penny throughout their journey—from the early planning stages right through to handover.

Congratulations to you both, and thank you for trusting me to be part of such an important milestone. I wish you many happy years and wonderful memories in your new home.

“Turnkey fixed price” sounds simple—but what does it actually include?

Not every new-build package includes everything needed to make the property genuinely ready to rent.

Before you commit, check whether the price covers:

🔹 Driveway, fencing and landscaping
🔹 Floor coverings and window furnishings
🔹 Air conditioning, lighting and appliances
🔹 Service connections and site costs
🔹 All other items needed before a tenant can move in

You should also look closely for provisional sums, allowances, exclusions and circumstances that could change the final price.

A package that appears cheaper upfront could cost considerably more by completion if important items have been left out.

At GCT Property, we help investors assess the complete package—not just the advertised price—so they can understand what they are buying and avoid unwelcome surprises.

Is waiting really the safest property decision?

When markets feel uncertain, doing nothing can seem like the sensible choice.

But waiting indefinitely can carry risks of its own. Your borrowing position may change, suitable properties may become harder to find, and you could still be unprepared when the right opportunity appears.

That doesn’t mean rushing out and buying any property. It means getting the preparation right:

1. Understand your financial position
Know your comfortable budget, borrowing capacity and cash-flow limits.

2. Establish clear buying criteria
Define the locations, property types and fundamentals that support your goals.

3. Have the right professional team ready
Finance, legal advice, inspections, construction and property management may all need to work together.

This is where GCT Property can help.

We assist clients in researching suitable locations and properties, assessing the available options and coordinating the different professionals and steps involved—from strategy and finance pathways through to purchase, inspections, settlement and property management.

You remain in control of the final decision, while we help reduce the research, confusion and legwork around it.

Property Investors: You Could Be Missing Thousands in Tax Deductions

Many property investors don’t realise how much they could be claiming through tax depreciation.

A professional tax depreciation report identifies the depreciation on the building and the fixtures inside your investment property, allowing your accountant to claim these deductions each year and potentially reduce your taxable income.

Even if your property isn’t brand new, you may still be able to claim significant depreciation.

I’ve partnered with Duo Tax, a specialist quantity surveying firm that prepares ATO-compliant depreciation schedules for Australian property investors, to make it easy for my clients to get this organised.

If you own an investment property and don’t yet have a depreciation schedule, it’s definitely worth looking into.
