Jacques and his wife Marcelle immigrated to Australia from South Africa nine years ago. They were seeking a better lifestyle and a safe place to raise their twin girls, who were just four at the time.
They found the exchange rate ‘daunting’, with 12 rand buying them just one Australian dollar. Despite selling a large home in South Africa, their money could not get them a home anywhere in Sydney. Jacques explained the situation left them feeling hopeless. Nevertheless, they found a home to rent and begun to establish themselves.
Fortunately, the couple were educated and keen to work in Australia. Jacques is an IT professional and currently works for DPN. Marcelle is a data analyst.
DPN introduced them to the idea of rentvesting.
Lloyd’s expertise and guidance was life changing.
He provided us with options and a clear vision, ultimately finding us the perfect investment property.
This strategy allows you to rent a property that suits your lifestyle while owning an investment property that suits your budget. In other words, live where you want to and make your money work for you by renting the investment property out.
They were presented with a few properties in their budget. They decided upon a house & land package to build a dual income home in Deception Bay in Queensland.
Deception Bay is in Queensland’s Moreton Bay region which is recognised as one of the fastest growing areas by population with a strong and growing economy. It is also a coastal suburb (40km from Brisbane) that’s still affordable.
We gave them a strategy
They were provided with a comprehensive property investment plan including a strategy to become rentvestors.
Independent research
All properties presented came with research and independent data on the suburb, region and home, including expected rental yields, vacancy rates and capital growth.
Secured their finance
They used DPN’s mortgage broking service. “Amy, who handled our finance, was amazing from the start. Her excellent communication and assistance secured us the best rates, making the process smoother than expected,” said Jacques.
Property construction from who to go
DPN’s property concierge team answered all their questions about building, timelines, insurance and quality control. Their portal kept them informed and their support made us feel comfortable throughout the building phase.
