Setting yourself up through property investing
Over the past five years, WA homes have surged in value—many by $150K to $400K. That equity is the perfect stepping stone to securing a second property, to pay off your mortgage faster and setting yourself up for long-term financial success.
Smart investors have been using this strategy for years. It’s straight out of the most successful wealth-building playbooks, yet too many West Aussies are missing out.
Most people assume they need massive savings to invest and will be stuck with huge outgoings—but that’s not always the case. With the right structure, your investment property could more or less pay for itself.
Think you can’t afford it?
Here’s how the cash flow works:
Market growth = opportunity
If you’ve owned your home for a few years, there’s a good chance it’s worth significantly more today—especially if you’re in one of Perth’s high-growth suburbs. Areas like Piara Waters, Byford, and Ellenbrook have seen strong demand from families drawn to parks, schools, and community hubs, while established suburbs such as Balcatta have also climbed, driven by their proximity to key transport links.
All of this growth could mean one thing for you: increased equity. Unlocking that equity to purchase an investment property could open doors for your future:
- Paying off your mortgage faster or upgrading to your dream home
- Funding goals for your family, like private school or annual holidays
- Retiring sooner or making retirement a lot more comfortable
- Creating financial security
