Meet Risy: A Dedicated Nurse and Loving Mother
Risy, a 39-year-old registered nurse and single mother of two has always put her family first. Between long shifts at the hospital and managing her household, her days were often a blur of activity.
She worked tirelessly to provide for her children, determined to give them the opportunities she never had. Owning her family home with a small remaining mortgage gave Risy a valuable opportunity to leverage her equity and take her first step into property investment without straining her finances.
She created a cash flow surplus by taking on extra shifts at work and managing her relatively low mortgage repayments. This financial breathing room eased her immediate concerns and gave her the confidence to explore opportunities she had once thought impossible. For the first time, Risy could see a path toward building a brighter future for her family.
“I’ve always dreamed of giving my kids a better start in life,” Risy shared. “But as a single-income earner, I didn’t think property investment was something I could ever achieve. It felt like something out of reach for someone like me.”
Despite her disciplined approach to managing her finances, Risy still felt uncertain about securing a stable future for her children without sacrificing the precious time she had with them.
The Challenge: A Mother’s Struggle to Plan for the Future
For Risy, the idea of building wealth through property felt overwhelming. She was balancing the high costs of raising two children with extra work hours to keep up with her bills, which made investing seem out of reach.
“Every month, I’d look at my accounts and wonder if I was doing enough,” Risy explained. “The thought of starting over with another mortgage felt impossible, but I couldn’t stop worrying about what the future held for my kids.”
Adding to her uncertainty, Risy had no experience with property investment and worried about making costly mistakes.
The Turning Point: A Plan for Growth and Security
Referred to us by her mortgage broker, Risy sought guidance to turn her aspirations into a concrete plan. During our consultation, we introduced her to a tailored approach designed for first-time investors like Risy. This plan focused on achieving her financial goals, starting with a manageable investment in a high-demand growth area.
“For the first time, I could see a clear path forward,” Risy shared. “It wasn’t about risking everything; it was about taking the right steps to build something lasting.”
By selecting an affordable property aligned with her budget and long-term goals, Risy could balance her financial responsibilities while building equity for the future. This strategy gave her the confidence to take the first step toward creating a secure foundation for her family.
Our Approach: Making the Dream a Reality
- Personalised Strategy:
We created a tailored property roadmap that balanced affordability with Risy’s goal of building long-term wealth for her children while ensuring manageable costs for her single-income household. - Identifying the Right Market:
By carefully analysing key growth factors—such as proximity to schools, transport networks, and employment hubs—we identified a high-demand location in Brisbane’s north as the perfect place for Risy to invest. Its robust rental market and access to education precincts made it a strategic choice for long-term value and tenant appeal. - Securing the Right Property:
We leveraged our network to secure a 4-bedroom home for $685,000. Its functional and spacious layout and outstanding access to community amenities such as parks, schools, and transport ensured strong tenant appeal and long-term value. - Seamless Implementation:
We handled every detail, from connecting Risy with a trusted property manager and working with her mortgage broker and solicitor to organising landlord insurance and tax depreciation schedules. The property was leased within two weeks of settlement, providing Risy with rental income.
The Results: A Tangible Path to Wealth
Risy’s investment delivered measurable results:
- Equity Growth: In its first year, the property generated significant equity, exceeding $50,000—equivalent to saving an additional 45% of her annual net income.
- Tax Benefits: Deductions, including depreciation, reduced her out-of-pocket expenses, making the investment more affordable.
- Cash Flow Confidence: The property’s rental income covered most of her holding costs, requiring a modest $45 weekly savings contribution to her investment plan.
- Projected Gains: The property is forecast to grow steadily, reaching approximately $875,000 in four years. This could unlock an additional $190,000 in equity—equivalent to nearly two years of her annual net income, positioning her for future reinvestment.
“This has given me a sense of control over our future that I didn’t think was possible,” Risy shared. “Knowing I’ve started building something lasting for my kids makes every long shift worthwhile.”
The Transformation: Confidence for the Future
For Risy, taking her first step into property investment was more than just a financial decision—it was an act of empowerment. The experience gave her the tools and confidence to think bigger about her future and her children’s opportunities.
“It’s empowering to know I’ve started building something lasting for my kids,” Risy said. “Imagining how this could secure their future gives me the drive to keep going and the reassurance that every overtime shift has been worth it.”
With her children as her greatest motivation, Risy is already planning her next steps to expand her portfolio and secure their future.
