Sourcing high growth investment property Fees Our investment property acquisition services are available via two fee structures: 1. A free to you commission structure: This service is basically an investment property brokerage service where the vendor, developer or project marketing company pays us. We are essentially being paid as (or replacing) the real estate agent. Technically, in a compliance sense, we are acting for the vendor, selling a pre-selected investment property product to you, while still using all the principles outlined above. This product is usually limited to new property where commission is available to be paid. There are literally hundreds of developers vying for us to sell their product, however we only recommend around 1-3% of the property that passes our strict preselection process. 2. Comprehensive fee for service buyers agent service: This is a completely comprehensive, independent service where we are wholly paid by you to exclusively represent you. As you pay us, we are not limited to assessing and sourcing only new property that has commission available. We are then free to source from every property on the market, Australia-wide. If we source a property where commission is payable, 100% of that commission is paid to you. In most cases, this commission will cover the full fee, and often leave surplus funds for your own use. The fees for this service range from 2-4% of the purchase price (2% for established/ complete property, 3% for off-the-plan (though rarely recommended) and 4% for house and land packages). This higher rate for house and land is due to the high amount of project and contract management and assessment required, however the cost is often completely rebated by commission payable, so there is rarely a net cost to you. Note: Fees are generally tax deductible* *Please consult your accountant to ensure this applies to your individual situation PAGE 7
Specialised investment finance broking insynergy offers specialised mortgage broking and finance services that help our clients safely build significant wealth. Successful investors treat debt as a tool to build wealth rather than seeing it as a burden. This is an important mindset when creating your finance strategy. Our advanced lending strategies, including finance and ownership structures, land and income tax minimisation, borrowing capacity optimisation and valuation maximisation enable the creation of substantial and tangible wealth far over and above any one lender or standard mortgage broker. Using Advanced Equity Strategies to grow your wealth If you have more than 25% equity (this is, the difference between the value of your home and how much you owe on it), it s considered lazy equity and could be costing you as much as $50,000 a year in lost opportunity. Property valuations are another area that can make or break an investment strategy. Unfortunately, valuations between lenders commonly vary by 5% and in some cases, up to an astonishing 25%. This is especially true if it s for a property being revalued to access equity. Putting that in perspective, for a $1 million property, it translates to a difference of $50,000 to $250,000, all because of contrasting opinions between a conservative valuer and a more confident one. We work with our clients to teach them methods to legitimately get an appraisal that reflects a property s true potential something that can significantly increase your returns. Other strategies we use include: How to secure your loans separately and why this nearly always helps you make hundreds of thousands of dollars more over the medium to long term; How to structure the ownership and borrowing to increase borrowing capacity, while reducing risk, income and land tax (this alone can save around $200,000 plus over 20 years in cash flow), which in turn can help you hold more property more safety and significantly increase returns; Which lenders will allow you to make the most of this equity and how to effectively split your structure and strategy between these lenders. Industry Accredited insynergy are full members of the MFAA (Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia). The MFAA is Australia s peak industry body for the mortgage and finance industry.
