29th. August 2025 – Case Study, Umina Beach

The Client

Our client was seeking an investment property on the Central Coast, an area about to experience rapid growth driven by new infrastructure and gentrification. After thorough research, we identified a suburb offering both strong rental returns and excellent long-term capital growth. Just 5 minutes from the train station, popular Ettalong Beach and the ferry, we secured a solid brick home with a near-new, high-quality granny flat on a large flat block. The property delivered a 5% rental yield while also ticking every box for future growth potential. Finding such a complete package with growth location, lifestyle appeal, dual income, and strong returns only within 75 minutes of Sydney is rare. After carefully reviewing all available opportunities, we successfully negotiated the purchase off-market, eliminating competition and securing an attractive price. The client was able to successfully complete the transaction through their SMSF within only a few weeks of engaging our services, confident they had secured a high-performing asset that will deliver both immediate income and long-term growth.
