Are you a roll-up-your-sleeves type or more of a let-the-experts-handle-it investor? Either way, knowing your style is the key to growing smarter.
Some investors like to roll up their sleeves — managing tenants, picking up the phone to organise repairs, even painting a room between leases. Others would rather trust a team of professionals to research the best markets, arrange finance, build the property, and manage it long term.
Both approaches work. The real question is: which one suits your lifestyle, goals, and tolerance for involvement?
Hands-on investors are the doers. They like control and aren’t afraid to get involved. From tracking suburb trends and scanning listings late at night, to touching up paint or arranging new carpet between tenants. This type of investor is happy to spend their weekends juggling spreadsheets and tradie phone calls.
Why it works: you’ll feel in charge and may even save on management fees.
The catch: it’s time-intensive, and without professional insights, you could miss out on smarter opportunities.
Tip: if the idea of a 10pm tenant call about a leaking tap doesn’t faze you, you may be a hands-on investor.
Hands-off investors don’t want property management creeping into their lives. Instead, they partner with experts who know the markets, structure the finance, oversee construction, and manage tenants from start to finish.
At DPN, this is our sweet spot. We’ve spent decades fine-tuning a system that delivers growth without the stress, backed by research, reviews and real results.
Why it works: you get professional strategy, less stress, and more time to focus on family, career or lifestyle.
The catch: you need to choose a team you can genuinely trust.
Tip: if you’d rather spend your weekends with friends than comparing rental yields, hands-off investing will feel like a breath of fresh air.
Of course, not everyone fits neatly into one box. Many investors like having oversight. Maybe you enjoy reviewing performance reports or knowing where the next hotspot is but don’t want the hassle of tenant calls or chasing tradies.
That’s where an integrated approach shines. At DPN, we combine transparency (so you always know what’s happening) with a fully managed service that takes care of the heavy lifting. It’s the best of both worlds: your portfolio grows, your stress doesn’t.
Success isn’t about being hands-on or hands-off, it’s about knowing your style.
Property investing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Success comes from knowing your style and choosing the approach that fits your life, not someone else’s.
So, are you a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up investor, or a hands-off “make it happen” type? Either way, the smartest investors make intentional choices.
