Case Study: Guru & Divya

Guru and Diya, a Perth-based couple working full-time in IT, were keen to start building wealth through property investing. But with two young kids, busy work schedules, and limited time to research, they found it overwhelming to even know where to begin.

They faced several hurdles:

• Not sure where to start with the property market
• No clear direction on which suburbs or states to consider
• Time constraints due to work and family commitment 
• Overwhelmed by online information and conflicting opinions
• Lack of confidence in buying interstate
• Wanted an investment strategy backed by data, research, and clarity, not guesswork
   

They approached us looking for guidance, structure, and a partner who could simplify the process and help them make a smart, confident decision.

Our strategy for Guru and Diya was focused on clarity, data, and alignment with their long-term goals.

1. Understanding Their Position & Goals
   We began by mapping out their financial situation, borrowing capacity, and risk appetite. This ensured that every step of the process matched their comfort levels and long-term direction.
    
2. Identifying Growth Corridors
   Using our research framework, we shortlisted several warm, upward-trending growth corridors across Australia. We broke down the data—demographics, rental demand, infrastructure, and future growth drivers—so Guru and Diya could clearly understand why these suburbs made sense.
    
3. Shortlisting Strong Properties
   We filtered and analysed multiple properties, eventually narrowing down 2–3 high-performing options that ticked their criteria.
    
4. On-Ground Due Diligence
   Once the Bendigo property stood out, we handled inspections, negotiations, rental assessments, and all the details that are challenging for busy families to manage on their own.
    
5. Planning for Value-Add Potential
   The selected property came with room for future growth thanks to a 600sqm block with dual road access, giving them the option to add a granny flat later.

They secured a high-potential property that exceeded expectations:

• $45,000 equity growth in just 4 months
• Strong 4.7% rental yield, improving cashflow
• Secured a 600sqm block in Bendigo, a warm and rising market
• Purchased at a great price of $647,000
• Property includes dual road access and the option to build a granny flat
• A smooth and stress-free interstate purchase, managed end-to-end
• Enhanced confidence in analysing markets and making future investment decisions

This investment now serves as a solid foundation for their long-term portfolio.

With their first investment performing well, their next steps include:

• Monitoring equity growth to prepare for their next property purchase
• Continuing to build a diversified portfolio using the same data-driven approach
• Strengthening their long-term financial position to support their family’s future

They now feel empowered, supported, and clear about the path ahead.

Guru and Diya’s journey shows that even busy professionals with demanding IT careers and young children can successfully invest when supported by a clear, data-driven strategy. With the right guidance, interstate investing becomes far less overwhelming and can lead to strong early results as seen with their $45K equity growth in just a few months. A structured approach to suburb selection, combined with in-depth analysis and expert due diligence, removes confusion and provides the confidence needed to make informed decisions. Choosing a property with strong fundamentals, land value, and future development potential like a granny flat also sets a solid foundation for long-term portfolio growth. Their experience highlights how the right partnership can save time, reduce stress, and empower families to make strategic, future-focused investment choices.
