Don't catch a falling knife.

Fair warning, except a falling market is the only time sellers accept offers they'd never look at in a good one. Everyone's waiting to pick the bottom of a 15% correction. We're buying 25% below peak right now. Why would we wait?

Three wrong beliefs

01

"Building is risky."

We've done 50+ of these projects, they're near identical, and not one has gone over budget.

02

"A dual occ is just a granny flat."

A granny flat stays on one title. We split the titles, so you own two separate houses and $350k of equity.

03

"I don't have time to run a build."

You buy the property. We run the build, from approval through to two titles.

How we buy them

When an owner has to sell, the agent calls

the buyer who's ready. We make sure that's

us:every suitable SEQ site assessed, every selling agent spoken to weekly.

Properties like these usually sell at a premium. The ones we buy are listed as ordinary houses, nobody has spotted the development potential, and the buyers have gone. You pay a 2024 house price.

1 in 50

Of the properties that suit these projects, we buy about 1 in 50. Those are the ones mispriced for no good reason, worth far more than they can

be bought for.

From clients

“He truly found a gem that was well below market value… a property that can be purposed for more value creation down the road and be a fundamentally better investment than what I could do on my own full-time.”
Gavin OngBirkdale
“Between him and his team the outcome we will achieve is turning our $740,000 purchase into two properties, separate titles and a gross end result of $1,600,000… this was an absolute no brainer.”
Dion FernandesCrestmead
“Chris has now secured 2 x properties for us in the last couple of months, that we are set to make 300K-350K net per property with the simple sub divide and build strategy… The team are not focused on volume, they are focused on securing properties that add value.”

The equity you create is your buffer. With every cost considered, values would need to fall a further 15% before you break even.

On the way up:

Any market recovery is extra. You already get $250k+ of equity across two houses, and every point of growth adds to it.
