Why We Recommended this Property
Based on Michael's criteria, we found a townhouse in a growth area in Southwest Brisbane. It is just a 1-minute walk from the proposed train line, which has now been fast-tracked ahead of Brisbane's 2032 Olympics. The townhouse has good capital growth potential and also provided the opportunity to earn a rental income from the start.
Results
The townhouse is located in an upcoming suburb of Southwest Brisbane, which is already showing signs of impressive property growth owing to local infrastructure development. Currently, the townhouse valuation is close to $70,000 above its purchase price in just 7 months while the weekly rent is covering his property costs. We're already chatting with Michael about his next property goal!

Bridget and her husband are both employed with the government and have never owned an investment property before. As first-time investors, they were understandably nervous and came with a lot of questions. A huge concern was owning an investment property that was difficult to rent and lost money. Ultimately, they trusted our knowledge of the property market and invested in a dual key property we recommended.

Why We Recommended this Property
Our goal was to find a property in an area with extremely low vacancy rates. The area we chose was a large employment hub, which meant a lot of tenants looking for good properties. The dual key property itself had a custom design and outdoor facade that was extremely attractive.
Results
The dual key property was so attractive that the first open home received 5 applications. They were able to secure a tenant almost instantly, which alleviated all their fears. Moreover, the property has already appreciated in value, while the rent more than covers the property costs. Bridget and her husband were thrilled with the outcome and are hoping to secure their second investment property very soon.
