Next step: answer a few questions to tailor your investment strategy

Question 1 of 5

What are you looking to buy?

How it works

Two parts. First we work out your strategy and where to buy. Then we find the property, check it and negotiate the price.

Part 1

Strategy and suburb selection

Before we look at a single property, we work out how to protect your borrowing capacity, your goals, cash flow and risk appetite, with your broker and accountant. Then the data picks the area: demand, supply, vacancy rates and building approvals.

Part 2

Search, due diligence and negotiation

We search on and off market, coordinate every inspection plus building and pest, check the numbers, then negotiate with the selling agent for you.

FAQs

How does it work?

We start with your strategy: how to protect your borrowing capacity, your goals, cash flow and risk appetite. Then the data picks the area. We search on and off market, do the due diligence and negotiate, through to settlement.

Where do you buy?

Wherever the data points. Most of our purchases have been in Victoria, Queensland and regional New South Wales.

I already have a suburb in mind. Can you look at it?

Yes. We put it side by side with the data, including vacancy rates, building approvals and supply, and show you any red flags.

Is now a good time to buy?

Sometimes it isn’t. It depends on what you buy and whether your cash flow lets you hold it. Nobody can time the bottom, so we focus on what you can control.

Do I have to inspect the property myself?

No. We coordinate every inspection, plus building and pest, so you can buy interstate.

Do you take commissions from agents or developers?

No. We work only for you.

Do you buy new builds or house-and-land packages?

No. We focus on established properties in established areas.

Can I use my own broker and accountant?

Yes. We work with your team, or we can introduce you to ours.

What happens after settlement?

We hand you over to a property manager, review your portfolio with you, and help plan your next purchase.

How much do I need saved?

Most clients start with $80k or more saved, plus a steady income.

What does it cost?

We’ll go through fees in your session, once we understand your situation.

What if I’m not ready to buy yet?

That’s fine. Your session is about clarity. If now isn’t the right time for you, we’ll tell you.

Meet Johnson

I’m Johnson Lin, founder of Prime Vantage. I started out as an optometrist. When Sydney prices put buying out of reach, I learnt how to invest interstate and built my own portfolio. Now I help first-time investors do the same, with a strategy first and the data behind every decision.
