3 ways to boost your commercial property’s value 💼📈 — without lifting a hammer:
1️⃣ Secure a long lease or medical/legal tenant
2️⃣ Add usable floor space
3️⃣ Get DA or zoning approval
Value doesn’t always mean renovation. 😉

📐 Apartment hunting tip: Not all floor plans are created equal! 🏢

Pay attention to:
👉 Kitchen placement (noise can travel!)
👉 Corner units = more natural light 🌞
👉 Fewer shared walls = more peace & quiet 🧘‍♂️
👉 Galley vs breakfast bar kitchens 🍳

It’s the 1% details that give you the edge when buying off the plan or comparing units in the same block. You might not notice them at first glance—but once you do, you’ll never unsee it. 👀

"Quote this now: By 2026, Sydney units will boom." 🏙️
We're calling it—Dee Why and Manly are set for serious growth. But beware of high-supply suburbs like Mascot and Parramatta.
🔍 Supply is the enemy of capital growth.
💡 Tip: Look at density, planned developments & long-term trends.

When inspections feel like a police car behind you...🚓😅
Even with notice, inspections can feel stressful. From spotless showers to weekend boundaries, every tenancy is different. Just remember: you have rights, and timing matters.
📅 Keep it within 8am–5:30pm, weekdays preferred.
✨ Be kind to yourself this silly season.
🎄 Merry Christmas and thanks for an incredible 2025!

🏡 The property dream: Is it really slipping away?

We get it. It feels harder than ever to buy a home.
But when you zoom out over 30, 50, even 70 years… the data tells a different story 👇

📈 Generational ownership has followed a consistent, steady trend.
👵🏼 Baby Boomers made their mark.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Gen X and Millennials are now taking the reins.
🤝 Government incentives have never been better to help you in.

Despite the headlines, real estate continues to prove itself — decade after decade.
The dream’s not dead. It's just different.

If you're sitting on the sidelines, wondering whether to make a move — take heart. Yes, it's tough. But it's always been tough. What matters is strategy, guidance, and playing the long game.

💬 "Property still feels like the safest long-term bet."
🧠 Think: Generational wealth, not overnight wins.

📍Sydney. D.Y. Northern Beaches. But relevant to the whole country.

🏠 Shared tenancies: Start it right. Finish it properly.

Had a few laughs today (yes, someone did ask how to use the washing machine 😅)…
But seriously — if you’re in a shared rental, here’s what you must know 👇

✔️ Communicate with your property manager
✔️ Make sure all documents are signed — starting and ending a tenancy
✔️ You can’t just remove yourself from a lease — landlord approval is required
✔️ The person staying behind must also be approved
✔️ Don’t forget: bond paperwork ≠ end of lease

⚠️ Pro tip: If you’re leaving a shared house, grab the termination form from the Office of Fair Trading. Cover yourself.

Renting is a partnership — transparency is key, especially in a tight market where great properties (and great landlords) are harder to find.

💥 “Stretch yourself — you sort of can’t afford not to.”

Getting into the property market isn’t easy. Deposits are tough, super takes a bite, and banks lend less than you hoped. But here’s the reality 👇

📈 Property prices have outperformed wages for years
🏠 The median house price in Australia has jumped 50% in the last 5 years
💡 Northern Beaches property doubles every 10 years (on average)

So what’s the move?
💰 Be strategic
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Leverage family if you can
🤝 Buy with a mate
🥣 Eat rice and beans if you have to
But get in.

Because the longer you wait, the harder it gets.
