Back to Life Property Strategy

We work on the premise that the strategy is usually dictated by what is needed in the area, the property type and of course finance. However, we are currently looking at deals where we can generate profit from day one with properties we can hold.

Our proposed strategy is a four-step process where we secure a property in an area with high demand. We procure the property at a favourable rate and immediately add value through refurbishment. This will allow us to quickly provide a quality home in an area that needs more rental stock and allows us to refinance and recycle our money to reinvest.

Our strategy will allow us to sustainably scale our portfolio with properties that will, over time, appreciate in value and build equity in the medium and long term.

  • Source unloved property

    1. Source

    We seek unloved or underutilised properties that would benefit from refurbishment or even a brand new purpose. We aim to add value not just to the property, but to community too.

  • Purchase Property for Cash

    2. Purchase

    We believe the best deals are created when everyone’s needs are being met. Vendors often appreciate cash, speed and an ease of doing business. We aim to acquire property with cash, securing the best deals.

  • Transforming Property Through Renovation

    3. Transform

    Transforming the unloved into something that people can enjoy again. We aim to maximise value through refurbishment, renovation or completely reconfiguring the space.

  • Leverage Equity in Property

    4. Cash-out

    With our new value uplift, we can now leverage the immediate equity in the property and share the profits with our investors, ready to go again!
