Do Buyers Agents need to be Licensed?

In Australia, it’s against the law to practice real estate without a license. As a full-time Queensland buyers agent, I am a fully licensed real estate agent (L.R.E.A), Accredited Auctioneer and a member of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland.

How much do I need for a deposit to start investing?

The amount you need will depend entirely on your investment strategy, the purchase price of the property you choose and your overall borrowing capacity.

I generally recommend having roughly $120,000 in cash or available equity to purchase a quality, well-located investment property, however, I’ve worked with many clients who have successfully invested with less funds.

Book a free, no-obligation discovery call and I can better assess your unique circumstance and guide you toward an ideal approach to buying Queensland real estate.

Can I purchase a property in my Self-Managed Super Fund?

The answer will vary for each client depending on your circumstances. I generally suggest you obtain professional accounting, superannuation and taxation advice about any proposed purchase via a trust, or fund, including but not limited to SMSFs.

I have many relationships with certified practising accountants and business advisors who have strong expertise when it comes to the SMSF market and have assisted many clients in setting up an SMSF so contact us and we can point you in the right direction.
