Overall, we are committed to providing our clients with tailored advice and support, ensuring they make informed investment decisions and achieve long-term investment success. To learn more about how we have helped clients build their investment portfolios and achieve their financial goals, take a look at our case studies below.

First Time Property Investor

Our 21-year-old client wanted to build a portfolio of 10 investments by the age of 35. With a tight budget, we aimed to find affordable investment opportunities with high rental yields and strong depreciation outside of major cities. We found a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car home in far north Queensland for $475,000 that met our client’s criteria. It rented for $575 per week and has a current valuation of $530,000, providing strong equity growth. Leveraging the equity gained, we are already proceeding towards his second investment within 12 months. Our client is well on his way to achieving his investment goal with our guidance and support.

Cashflow Retirement Investor

Our clients from Sydney wanted an investment property to provide cash flow for their retirement. We identified an off-market property with potential for maximum depreciation and good cash flow, in a growth-oriented area. We contacted various estate agents, developers, and builders to find it. The property had a premium location in a sold-out boutique estate, offering our clients the potential for strong equity growth. After due diligence, our clients contracted and purchased the property for $790,000. It is now valued at $850,000, providing them with a significant equity gain. The property has a rental yield of $750 per week, with high-quality tenants, ensuring steady cash flow.

Second Investment Property

Our Brisbane-based second-time investor clients sought guidance to maximize their equity for future opportunities within a strict budget. We focused on areas outside major cities with high growth potential and attractive rental yields. Through research and our network, we found a property priced at $480,000, now valued at $545,000, with potential for equity growth and rented for $600 per week. Our strategy allowed our clients to achieve their investment goals and gain equity for a second investment within a year. The property’s valuation exceeded expectations, providing additional equity for future opportunities, ensuring long-term success on a budget.

First Investment Property

Our Sydney-based high-income investor client was seeking professional assistance to manage their investment portfolio, as they aimed to enter the property market while minimizing costs. For their first purchase, they used a guarantor to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). We focused on strategically selecting properties with strong growth potential and attractive rental income.

By employing our expertise and market knowledge, we secured a property with a total cost of $575,000, which is now valued at $650,000 and generates a rental income of $650 per week. Our tailored strategy allowed the client to access the market, create a profitable investment, and tap into the property’s equity to begin searching for their second investment immediately. This approach has positioned the client for long-term financial success and portfolio expansion.

Our young 20-year-old client was eager to purchase their first investment property with a limited budget of $450,000. With a substantial deposit saved and a stable income, they aspired to be on track for early retirement by the age of 30. We focused on finding affordable properties with promising growth potential, located near regional city centres, to kickstart their investment journey.

Utilising our expertise and knowledge of the market, we discovered a property for the client at a purchase price of $438,000, which has already appreciated to $480,000. The property generates a rental income of $520 per week and is situated just 2 km from the regional city centre. Our tailored strategy enabled the client to enter the property market without overextending their finances at a young age. This approach has set them up for success, allowing them to continue building their investment portfolio over the next decade towards their early retirement goal.

I had no real prior knowledge on how to enter the property market prior to meeting Trent, he has discussed everything in detail and makes the process seamless. I have worked with Trent closely since April 2022, he has provided me with resources and a strong education towards purchasing my first investment property. Trent works really closely with his clients and ensures everything will benefit the person purchasing without any stress. I would highly recommend having a call to understand your situation and see what could work for you.

I cannot recommend Trent and the Carters team any higher! I went from having absolutely no knowledge about realestate and investment properties to having a great level of understanding with Trent's guidance. Trent has helped through every step of the process from initial discussions to a finished build, holding my hand and putting up with a lot of calls and questions along the way! With Trent's guidance it made me realise how much more attainable property investing is and I honestly just wish I bit the bullet and did this years ago!

For a little less than a year now, Trent has been assisting me with my real estate investments. He has taught me how to invest wisely during this time to get the best return in the shortest amount of time. I was successful in purchasing my second property, a land house development, and I have already witnessed an increase in its value. We are now investigating how to get the third. Throughout this adventure, Trent has been extremely approachable and a great communicator while keeping a high degree of professionalism. I cannot recommend Trent highly enough and look forward to building and expanding my portfolio with his guidance in the future.

In 2022, Trent assisted me to purchase my first investment property. Trent is an excellent advisor and mentor who consistently demonstrates his technical knowledge and practical wisdom in property acquisition and investment. He analyses and explains potential investment opportunities in a sophisticated, yet easy to understand manner (with a detailed financial analysis for those interested in the numbers!) and is always available for administrative support. I have grown significantly in my confidence in approaching property investment under Trent’s tutelage.

I reached out to Trent at Carters Investments early last year for advice and help on buying my first investment property. He’s worked closely with me ever since to help find the right interstate house for me to purchase which is now beginning construction. He’s given good consultation, advice and ideas based on his own successes with property investing. Thanks for your help mate!

Trent was a great help in starting me on my own investment portfolio. He has been very thorough in the information he has provided. Trent has amazing contacts to help with purchasing a property. This made it even easier to get myself started. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy realestate as I already have with friends and family.

Our association with Trent has been extremely productive, he gave us a lot of sound advice and linked us up with builders able to offer us houses either in the later stages of being built or council approved plans, giving us a decent head-start with our investment strategy, houses we would never have found on our own. Trent has a strong network of contacts for building and finance and knows the industry well, minimising costs such as stamp duty and negotiating with builders on our behalf. 5 stars!
