As one financial year ends and another begins, it's the perfect time to reassess your investment goals and set a fresh course for the year ahead. If you already own an investment property, you might be asking: What's next?
Growing from one property to a full portfolio doesn't happen overnight. But with smart planning, the right advice, and strategic moves, the new financial year could be the launchpad for your next investment.
At D Residential Group, we work closely with Perth investors just like you, helping them grow with confidence. Whether you're looking to scale up or refine your portfolio, our boutique approach to property management ensures your assets are expertly cared for every step of the way.
Check your equity: How much usable equity do you have in your current investment or family home? This could serve as a deposit for your next property.
Assess your cash flow: Make sure you can comfortably manage a second mortgage, maintenance costs, and any unexpected vacancies.
Are you aiming for long-term capital growth or steady rental income?
How many properties do you want in your portfolio, and by when?
What kind of lifestyle are you ultimately working toward?
A mortgage broker can help structure your loans and unlock your equity.
A financial planner can guide you on wealth creation and tax minimisation.
A buyer's agent can identify off-market opportunities and high-growth areas.
And a trusted property manager — like D Residential Group — can help you maximise returns while taking the stress out of daily management.
