We caught up with her to find out more.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE?

HAVE YOU ALWAYS WORKED IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT WITH INVESTORS AND WHAT ATTRIBUTES DO YOU NEED TO EXCEL AT THAT SIDE?

investors, initially in managing their properties and now as New Business Manager.
I provide an advisory service, helping investors to maximise the return on their investment and identifying what makes a good investment.
I have extensive knowledge of the local rental market as well as an understanding of areas that enjoy good capital growth.
HAVE YOU NOTICED ANY CHANGES WITH THE RECENT GOVERNMENT CHANGES?
Some investors are nervous with the changes, but my take is it’s a lot of “noise” and that the changes are not as scary as they sound. However, the government changes could see investors turn their focus to new builds.
PROPERTY WITH INVESTORS AND WHERE ARE YOU SEEING THE BEST RETURNS FOR YOUR CLIENTS?
Duplexes have always enjoyed a high yield and more recently we are seeing an increase in interest in purpose-built co-living accommodation and properties with dual living.
WHAT TYPE OF INVESTORS DO YOU WORK WITH AND WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOR AT THE MOMENT?
I work with clients looking to
DJ Stringer
start or build a residential property portfolio and these can be local or interstate clients.
Everyone knows that demand for rental properties in the Tweed is at a premium with demand far outweighing supply.
WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR TYPE OF DO YOU THINK THE RECENT GOVERNMENT CHANGES WILL DRIVE MORE INVESTORS TOWARDS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY?
We are still receiving good levels of enquiry and seeing strong attendance from investors at our open homes.
Potentially we may see more interest in commercial investment as government changes don’t impact commercial properties.
ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE CONSIDERING INVESTING IN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY?
Do your homework, seek an independent opinion on the property’s potential performance and buy with your head, not with your heart.
FINALLY, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
In my spare time I love long walks along the beach, cooking, and sharing time with family.
