How does it work?

Once you establish that P16 Investing is the right service for you, we follow a proven 5 Step process.

STEP 1: ADVICE
We conduct a face-to-face meeting where possible and do an initial fact find about you. P16 has a wholistic approach to wealth building. We then devise a property wealth action plan by weighing up your investment goals, preferences and financial situation while guiding you to set up the right mortgage, tax and ownership structure and the investment strategy.
For SMSF investors we work with your financial planner/advisor and help you to ensure the property purchase is supported by your current SMSF investment strategy.
Our team is supported by a licensed financial planner, a mortgage broker and a tax advisor. You have a direct access to these professionals.
The strategies help you to add the next property to your portfolio, convert non tax deductable loan to a deductable loan, pay off your home loan faster and build wealth quicker while also minimizing risks.
The strategies will serve you well throughout your portfolio building journey.


STEP 2: RESEARCH
By undertaking a robust fundamental and technical analysis of real time data, we offer you a selection of at least 4 high returning suburbs, that matches your investment strategy. You then decide your preference from the list.
While quantitative analysis is our prime driver in selecting a suburb, we also conduct a qualitative analysis before making a final decision. Qualitative analysis involves researching changes happening to the suburbs, eg demographics, infrastructure etc.


STEP 3: SOURCE
Sourcing involves search and negotiation. We search from both ‘on and pre’ market properties, while our connection with a number of industry players is used to your advantage.
We physically inspect our recommended properties and complete a valuation analysis which helps us to secure a property at a discount to the current intrinsic market value. Finally, we use our experience to negotiate a price and terms that are favourable to you to secure the property.


STEP 4: SUPPORT
We link you with trusted service providers to get necessary due diligence completed. Guidance is provided to setup risk minimisation strategies, while also helping you to obtain a depreciation schedule, tax variation etc. We also help you in the selection of a Property Manager.
We provide a complimentary annual portfolio review where we look at your capital growth position and rent on your entire portfolio to ensure you are optimising your cashflow and tax while utilising your equity effectively to build wealth further.


STEP 5: REPEAT
This is an important step in our process to build long term wealth for you. Once your situation permits to invest again through equity gained or cash holdings, we would be ready to help you locate and purchase your next property.
This process is repeated multiple times to build a long- term property portfolio to achieve your financial and retirement goals.

Investment, tax, ownership and lending strategies form foundation of wealth creation. Most Property adviser or Buyer’s Agent only looks at investment strategy because they or their team is not equipped with the knowledge and skills in lending, tax, ownership and financial planning.
Your total wealth as an investor over a period of time depends on
- Yearly income and growth of your property (or, properties)
- Ongoing and future tax paid on the income and growth of your property (or, properties),
- Yearly interest and other holding costs of your property (or, properties)
- The ownership and finance structure that supports an addition of the next property to your portfolio, consolidation of your portfolio and intergeneration transfer.
While strategizing we take into consideration your personal situation while taking the holistic approach to investing to help you select the best course of action in your individual circumstances.
Not having an appropriate tax strategy may cost you more in stamp duty, income tax, capital gains tax and land tax.
Not having an appropriate mortgage strategy may cost you more in interest and stop you buying the next investment property quicker.

We complete a fundamental analysis using 15 economic data trends (such as interest rates, unemployment rate, consumer confidence etc) to evaluate if a market is “cheap” to invest compared to others. In short, we look for undervalued suburbs/markets.
Concurrently, a technical analysis is completed using 15 on the ground property market real-time data sets (such as property search interest, days in the market, average discounting etc). This helps us to gaze into the current market supply and demand that would drive an immediate growth in a suburb (or pocket). In short, we look for suburbs that are on the cusp of a growth spurt.
While combining the fundamental and technical analysis we regularly identify high returning suburbs (or pockets) across Australia that would continue to provide you with above average growth now and throughout your investment journey.
Our scientific modellings are based on statistical methods of ratios, correlation, regression, trend line and rolling averages.
Once we have identified the suburbs or areas for you to invest in, we look for an ideal property match. Through our network of real estate agents and collaboration with advertising platforms, we are often able to secure a property before it is listed on the market, eliminating the competition for you.
In finding a match to your strategy, we give particular attention to cashflow, holding cost, tax benefits and manufactured growth potential.
