For Investors
New Apartments That
Actually Make Money
Most investors buy the apartment that looks best. We help you buy the one that performs best.
Independent analysis across 30+ Sydney developments — yield, growth trajectory, strata costs, developer track record.
General in nature. Not financial advice.
Developer marketing is beautiful. It's also designed to bypass your critical thinking.
Display suites show you renders, polished finishes, and lifestyle photography. They show you gross yield — the most flattering number available. They don't show you vacancy rates, strata levy trajectories, or how the suburb's rental demand actually compares.
That's not an oversight. That's the business model. We sit on the other side.
Our Analysis
Fifteen criteria. One honest assessment.
Developers quote one or two of these. We look at all of them.
Rental yield
Gross and net, using current market rent data for comparable stock
Strata & body corporate
Estimated from disclosure documents, not developer projections
Vacancy rates
Suburb-level data from independent sources
Developer track record
Previous projects, delivery history, defect management
Build quality indicators
Materials, construction type, acoustic performance
Suburb growth trajectory
Five and ten-year median price data, demand drivers
Depreciation potential
New build schedules, fixture and fitting schedules
Completion timeline risk
Developer history, construction stage, sunset clause exposure
Comparable pricing
How this development sits against similar stock in the same area
Exit liquidity
How easy is this to sell in five years — and to whom
Gross yield is the start of the story.
Net yield is the end.
A 5% gross yield sounds compelling. After strata levies, management fees, council rates, insurance, and a realistic vacancy allowance, that 5% can become 2%.
"The gap between gross and net yield is where the real decisions live."

How one investor saved $40K by comparing what developers don't compare.
A Sydney-based investor came to us having attended three display suites. Both looked compelling. Both quoted a yield of around 4.8%.
When we ran the actual numbers — using current market rents and strata disclosure documents — one development had body corporate levies running 40% above the other.
The investor chose the development with the lower ongoing costs. Same price point. Meaningfully better cash position over a ten-year hold.
This is what independent analysis looks like in practice.
Stop buying on feeling. Start buying on data.
We've done the analysis. Let us show you which developments are genuinely worth your consideration.
