How do I know SPI is legit? The industry isn’t regulated.
Excellent question. It is important to be very wary of anyone giving you ‘property investment advice’. Unfortunately most property marketers and some real estate agents will promote their exclusively listed properties under the guise of property investment advice however their responsibility is to the vendor and not to the investor (purchaser).
Are you qualified with legitimate certifications/qualifications?
Are you insured to offer property investment advice?
Do you/does your organisation get exclusive property listings?
Are you a member of an organisation or association that enforces you to adhere to a strict code of conduct?

Founder Nick Holden is a Licensed Real Estate Agent, holds a Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) and Certificate IV Financial Services (Finance and Mortgage Broking).

Can I buy a property in my suburb?
Yes, however we want you to have the property best suited to your needs, rather than just because you live nearby. After we discuss your goals and create a strategy, we will help you find a property anywhere around Australia that fits your profile and comfort level. To give you the best choices, you will have access to properties across Australia through a private online property portal. Or if you have something specific in mind we can request the Acquisitions team to source it if possible.
Whether it’s in your suburb or interstate, the Acquisitions team will personally visit every property to make sure it meets our strict property selection and due diligence requirements. And importantly, we will make sure it will meet your long term property goals.
At no point will we ask you personally for a fee. Our advisory work is also provided without obligation to qualified investors. To be a qualified investor you simply need to have a suitable borrowing capacity and a genuine interest in wishing to invest in property.
Am I paying current market value for my property or has the price been inflated?
One of the most important requirements that our Acquisitions team undertake during their due diligence process is to make sure that the purchase price the vendor has set is at competitive market value. If it isn’t, it will not pass this step and will not be listed on the portal.
Remember that we work for you and not the vendor. We have no obligation to promote any particular property. This is a major point of difference from property marketing groups and some real estate agents where they have exclusive listings and can set the price at what they hope to get. They do not have your best interest at heart.
One thing to be aware of is the difference between bank valuations and market valuations.
I don’t have an accountant or financial planner. Do I need to find one?
Through our extensive network, we can introduce you to a range of professional advisors.
We have strong relationships with every advisor we work with, so you can expect the experience to be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. With peace of mind that everything will be taken care of.
Will you get me to only buy certain properties?
No. Our role is to give you professional advice and guidance based on your goals and strategy. We’ll also act as your buyer’s agent to find the property that fits your personal criteria – anywhere within Australia, not just your local area.
With access to a broad range of properties all around Australia we identify the very best in each segment of the market. From affordable options to boutique properties, house and land to luxury apartments, if it makes a good investment we’ll find it.
We’ll give you options to properties that will have the best possible chance to perform well. You will have all the insight, data, research and reports at your fingertips through our online client portal. So you can make a well informed decision about your investment.
Isn’t it better to live near the property I want to invest in?
Not necessarily. You don’t need to physically check on your property regularly to make sure all is well. In fact sometimes that can cause unnecessary frustration. We recommend that you have a good property manager and one of their roles is to perform regular inspections. We also encourage to have complete Landlord Protection Insurance for risk mitigation.
You are welcome to choose whichever property manager you wish. Through our affiliation with the ASPIRE Advisor Network we are able to introduce you to trusted professional property managers around the country if you wish.
As we predominantly recommend brand new properties there is usually very little, if any maintenance issues for a good period of time and most things that may arise are generally covered by warranties or guarantees.
You have made our venture into the investment property world a lot easier and more enjoyable. We appreciate all the advice, service and support you have given us over the journey so far. Everyone of your contacts have worked out to be just as helpful and easy to work with.
