🧠This client is an experienced property investor who already owns several properties in Sydney. He reached out to me through a referral from one of my previous clients — someone I had helped purchase an investment property with strong rental returns. He was happy with the results and felt confident recommending me to his friend.

📌The investor had a clear brief: he was looking for a high-yield property with the potential to build a granny flat. Ideally, it would be a large block of land, preferably a corner block, so that both the main house and the future granny flat could have separate driveways and access — an appealing feature for future tenants.

🏡We found a property that ticked all the boxes. It sat on a generous-sized block, located on a corner, and was priced in the low $600Ks. Considering that even in the Crestmead area, homes with good land size and decent quality are already selling close to $700K, this property was a hidden gem. However, there was another buyer making a similar offer, so we needed to act fast and decisively.

🔍During my inspection, I noticed some ceiling issues, and the property was generally worn out. Rather than seeing this as a drawback, I saw an opportunity. It became a crucial part of my strategy. Before we even knew the other buyer’s exact offer, I advised my client to move quickly and submit a strong offer of $658K to secure the property. Once we had it under contract, we conducted the building inspection, and used the findings to negotiate a $5,000 price reduction. In the end, we successfully purchased the property for $653K — a fantastic result considering the location, land size, and development potential.

🎉The client was thrilled. For just over $650K, he secured a corner block with the capacity to build a granny flat and achieve a dual-income setup. We’re now assisting with renovations and planning the construction of the granny flat. The main house (3 bed, 1 bath) is expected to rent for $600–630 per week, while the granny flat (2 bed, 1 bath) should fetch $400–430 per week — a total of up to $1000 in weekly rental income.

🚀This case once again proves that the right strategy and sharp market insight can make all the difference — especially in a competitive market.

【🎯靠策略致勝，實現Dual Income目標】

🧠這位客人是一位有經驗的投資者，在 Sydney 已擁有數個物業。今次透過一位舊客人的介紹聯絡我，希望在 Brisbane 再下一城。這位舊客人曾找我協助購買投資物業，當時取得不錯的回報，對我非常信任，於是將我推薦給他的朋友。

📌客人目標明確，希望找一間有潛力建 Granny Flat 的獨立屋，最好土地夠大，有未來增值空間。他特別喜歡 corner block，因為這類地段可以從兩邊開設Driveway，讓主屋與將來的 Granny Flat 可完全獨立出入。

🏡我們幫他找到一間非常理想的物業，不但地大、處於 corner block，而且開價只在 $60 萬頭。要知道現時即使在 Crestmead，地大或質素稍高的屋都已接近 $70 萬，$60 萬頭這個價錢絕對屬於筍盤。不過，當時已有另一買家出相近的價錢，市場競爭激烈，我知道不能等。

🔍我做 inspection 時留意到物業天花板有些問題，整體狀況略為殘舊，這正好成為我們日後議價的伏線。當時我們還未掌握對手出價的實際金額，但我決定先發制人，建議客人果斷開出一個稍高的價錢 $65.8 萬，先行鎖定買賣合約，之後再按房屋檢查報告作進一步談判。結果，Building Inspection 完成後，我們成功向賣家爭取減價 $5000，最終以 $65.3 萬成交，為客人成功搶下這間潛力屋。

🎉客人對結果非常滿意，以 $60 多萬的價錢買到一塊大地，實現了他的雙收入「dual income」的投資目標。目前我們正協助他進行物業翻新及規劃興建 granny flat，主屋 3 房 1 廁預計每週可租 $600–$630，Granny Flat 2 房 1 廁則預期租金為 $400–$430。換言之，整體租金回報將接近每週 $1000 ，對長線投資來說是一個非常穩健的選擇。

🚀這單成功個案再次證明，策略正確、判斷準確，才是在競爭激烈市場中突圍而出的關鍵。
