ESTABLISHED PROPERTIES

Why Established?

Why would I choose an established property investment?

Investing in an established property is often the first step for many investors who are starting their property investment journey.
One of the key benefits of investing in an established property is being able to have it tenanted straight away.

Here at Create Cashflow, we require three things to be present before buying an existing property.

Under Market Value: Most profit comes from time in the market, however we like to make money entering the market so we have a head-start to purchasing the next one.

Can You Add Value: Is there an opportunity to quickly and cost-effectively add value to that property? Generally, this comes by adding a bathroom if the plumbing is in the right place, a bedroom or updating an old kitchen.

Unique Selling/Renting Point: What does this property have that others do not? Is it a corner block, at the end of a cul-de-sac, does it have a large backyard, or access to parklands? This is where we are able to get premium rent and lower the time the property is sitting available.

Is Established Right For Your Property Portfolio?

Is an established property right for your property portfolio?

We aim for diversification in assets in both location and build type. However, our main goal is to build wealth aligned with your personal goals.

Established properties, like all investment types, have their own set of advantages. Purchasing established properties allows you to be in a position to rent out the property straight away, without the pressure of repayments through the build stage. If chosen correctly, there will also be an opportunity for a value-add. This can be paid for via equity or savings, allowing you to manage cashflow at a pace that fits your needs.

If you are not in a position to hold and afford the property during build time (which is often achieved through a level of income or an equity redraw) to ease the burden until completion, then an established property may be right for you.

When calculating if this property is right for you, we ensure to calculate ‘post-tax and depreciation schedules’. More often than not, this will make a huge difference in the property’s effectiveness and affordability – especially utilising a tax valuation request form to capture those funds as often as you get paid rather than waiting for the EOFY.

Most Australians stop at one investment property - not because they want to, but because they don’t have a scalable strategy. Buying a property isn’t a strategy, building a portfolio is.

Whether you’re just starting out and buying your first investment property, or you’re a seasoned investor looking to expand your portfolio.

Frequently asked questions

A property investment is the purchase of real estate with the intention of building wealth over time. This may come through rental income, capital growth, or a combination of both. When done well, it’s a proven strategy used by many Australians to create long-term financial security. The key is making informed decisions, understanding the market, selecting the right property, and having a clear plan from the outset.

Buying an investment property starts with clarity. You need to understand your financial position, your borrowing capacity, and what you’re aiming to achieve. From there, it’s about selecting the right property — one that aligns with your strategy, performs on paper, and has strong long-term fundamentals. This involves research, due diligence, and careful assessment of risk. Many investors choose to work with experienced professionals to guide this process - not just to save time, but to make more confident, well-informed decisions from the beginning.

The most effective way to start is by getting the foundations right. That means understanding how property investing works, from finance and tax through to market selection and strategy. Starting with one well-chosen investment is often the smartest approach. It allows you to learn the process, manage your risk, and build a strong base before growing your portfolio further. A measured, long-term approach will almost always outperform rushed or reactive decisions.

The amount you need to get started will depend on the type of property, location, and your borrowing capacity. As a general guide in Australia, most investors will need around 10–20% of the purchase price as a deposit, along with additional funds to cover costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, and inspections. It’s also important to have a buffer in place and a stable income to support the loan. The exact amount can vary, so it’s worth understanding your position early before making any decisions.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The right property depends on your goals, budget, and strategy. That said, many investors focus on well-located residential properties with strong demand and long-term growth potential. Areas with good infrastructure, population growth, and consistent rental demand are often a priority. The key is choosing a property that performs over time, rather than chasing short-term trends or making decisions based on emotion.
