How we do it
01
We target 5 to 10% under market value.
Five to ten per cent below an independent bank valuation at contract. A sourcing target, not a guarantee.
02
80 to 90% of what we buy never hits the market.
Off-market, pre-market, and agent relationships built over hundreds of deals. You are not bidding against the internet.
03
High demand. Low supply. Nothing else.
Sub 2% vacancy, falling days on market, committed infrastructure. Twenty nine checks decide it.
04
Yield deals have to pay for themselves.
We target cashflow positive on yield-focused deals, stress tested at the current rate plus two per cent.
Step03

You do not run out of money.
You run out of capacity.

Nobody stops because they ran out of deposit. They stop because the bank stops saying yes. We model 25 years ahead before you buy anything.

Step04

Population. Income. Infrastructure.

Twenty nine checks across three pillars. All three must clear, or the suburb is out.

Our sourcing policies.

The targets we hold ourselves to on every search. Aims, not contractual guarantees.
Every deal
5 to 10%
Target, below bank value

We target deals that can be secured 5 to 10% below a Big 4 bank valuation at the time of contract.

Yield strategies
Cashflow positive

Our target on yield-focused deals, and a must on FLOW, YARD and NEST. Modelled at the current rate and again at plus two per cent.

Timeframe
90 days
Sourced and purchased

We aim to have a deal sourced and purchased within 90 days. Many clients buy in as little as two weeks.

These are Handle's sourcing policies and client experience standards. They are aims only, are not guarantees or warranties, and do not form part of your Service Agreement.

Step03

Property and Location.
The Lease. The Tenant.

Forty two checks in three groups, all run before you go unconditional. One failure can kill a deal, and often does.

Step04

The NEST Strategy.

Net Escalating Secured Tenancy. $500k to $10m, bought on covenant, lease term and land value.

What it is

A contracted income stream with a building attached. The covenant matters more than the paint.

Who it suits

Established investors, SMSFs and trusts chasing income, at 65% LVR.

What you end up with

  • Materially higher net yield than residential
  • Rent reviews contracted into the lease
  • Most outgoings carried by the tenant
