Getting started

Perfect if you are early on and want clarity on what matters most.

  • Start with your numbers and your goal, not listings. The fastest way to stall is buying something random because it looks good on a brochure. We help you define borrowing power, buffers, and a clear buy box, then we shortlist markets using data plus on ground checks. The aim is a decision process you can repeat, not a one off punt.
  • We buy nationally and focus on where the numbers and fundamentals stack up, not where the headlines are loudest. Your target state depends on budget, risk settings, cash flow tolerance, and timing.
  • No. We work with first time buyers and portfolio owners. What matters is that the plan matches your stage and capacity, so the next steps are realistic.
  • We look for strong fundamentals and performance potential, including demand drivers, supply pressure, rental resilience, and a price point that still allows growth. It also needs to make sense for your personal plan, not just in isolation.

Finance and deposits

Deposits, lending, buffers, and how to avoid buying yourself a headache.

  • A common starting point is around forty thousand dollars in savings or usable equity, but it depends on price point, lender policy, and your overall position. You also need room for costs like stamp duty, legals, inspections, plus a buffer so you are not stretched.
  • We work alongside specialist brokers. They handle lending, we handle the buy side strategy and acquisition.
  • Many investors aim for around twenty percent to avoid lenders mortgage insurance, but it is not the only approach. The right deposit depends on your serviceability, risk settings, and how quickly you plan to scale.
  • A buffer is your safety net for rate rises, vacancy, repairs, and unexpected costs. It helps ensure you can hold the property comfortably through changing market conditions.

How we buy

What happens after the call, how shortlists work, and what you can expect.

  • Timeframes vary based on finance readiness, market conditions, and how specific your brief is. The key is we do the heavy lifting, keep you informed, and only bring you options that fit the rules.
  • We confirm your goals, your numbers, and your risk settings, then build a clear buy box. From there we shortlist markets, assess properties against the brief, and present options that meet the criteria.
  • Yes, where it makes sense. Off market can help with access and speed, but it still must pass the numbers and the fundamentals. We treat on market and off market the same way, it needs to be a strong deal.
  • We use data to narrow down markets, then confirm with on ground checks. We focus on demand drivers, supply dynamics, rental performance, and the specific property fundamentals.

Fees and engagement

How the relationship works and what you are paying for.

  • Fees depend on the service and scope. On the discovery call we will explain what is included, what is optional, and what outcomes we are targeting. If it is not a fit, we will tell you upfront.
  • The payment structure and inclusions are outlined upfront before you proceed. You will know exactly what you are getting at each stage of the process.
  • No. The discovery call is designed to confirm fit and give you clarity on next steps. If we can help, we will explain how. If we cannot, we will point you in the right direction.
  • Yes. The process is tailored to your stage, whether it is a first purchase or you are scaling an existing portfolio. The brief and selection criteria adjust based on your goals and lending position.

After you buy

What support looks like once contracts are signed and you are moving forward.

  • Email admin@dilleenpg.com or call 1300 833 118. To get a clear plan fast, use the book a call form and our team will take it from there.
  • We can introduce trusted property managers and help set expectations for rent, vacancy, and upkeep. The focus is a smooth tenancy and strong long term performance.
  • Yes. We review performance and timing so the next move is based on serviceability and signals, not guesswork. The aim is progress you can sustain.
  • Markets move, so we adapt the shortlist and keep the brief tight. If conditions shift, we adjust the approach rather than forcing a purchase.
