Secure Your Next High-Yield, High-Growth
Off-Market Property In Less Than 6 Weeks Without The Risk

We don't publish a fixed price list, because the scope of work varies depending on each client's situation.

What we can say is that our fee is structured to be a fraction of the value we create on each purchase - whether that's through buying well, avoiding costly mistakes, or positioning you in the right market at the right time.

We cover all of this in the initial strategy session, so you'll have full clarity on fees before making any commitment.

As a rough starting point, you want somewhere between 10-20% of the purchase price, plus enough buffer for stamp duty, legal fees and initial holding costs (roughly an additional 5.5%).

Realistically, that means around 15% of the purchase price gets you into the market. Some lenders may allow you in with a smaller deposit, but you'd need to speak with your mortgage broker about what's available to you.

To put it in perspective, one of our clients Ali got started at a $375,000 entry point. We've even had clients buy at $320,000, and less than 12 months later those properties have a 4 in front of them. The market is a lot more accessible than most people think.

The exact number depends on your borrowing capacity and goals, which we map out during your strategy session. Have a conversation with us and we'll tell you honestly where you sit.

Great question, and one we get a lot. Short answer: yes, and here's why.

A lot of people see headlines about wars, inflation and rate hikes and assume it's a bad time. But inflation actually works in your favour when you hold property debt. You borrow $500k today, in ten years you still owe $500k, but that money is worth far less in real terms. Your property value and rental income rise. The debt stays fixed, everything else moves up.

We saw this play out during COVID. Most people assumed property would collapse, but Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth surged. Undersupplied markets with real demand don't just hold, they take off.

Right now, supply is well behind demand and migration is at historically high levels. For investors positioned correctly, this is a strong environment to buy in. The bigger risk is sitting on the sidelines and paying more later.

We start with a strategy, not a suburb.

Using PropGoal, our internal proprietary software, we map out your borrowing capacity, risk tolerance, income position, and long-term goals.

From there, we identify the types of properties and markets that align with that strategy, and only then do we begin sourcing.

This is what ensures every purchase actually fits into a bigger plan.

You work directly with our senior team from strategy through to settlement. Every person on the Alaya team is someone we'd describe as an A-player. We don't hire generalists or people still figuring out property.

Collectively, our team has been involved in over 2,000 property purchases across Australia. That means whoever is working on your portfolio has seen markets move, negotiated in competitive conditions, and knows what a strong deal looks like versus one that just sounds good on paper.

We keep client numbers limited and operate on an application basis so every engagement gets the attention it deserves.

Hell no.

We don't accept commissions, kickbacks, or referral fees from any third party. Our fee comes directly from the client, which means our incentives are fully aligned with yours. We have no reason to push a particular property, developer, or market.

If a property doesn't meet our standards, we walk away. It's that simple.

This depends a lot on how clear the brief is.

When we have a really well-defined brief and clear decision-making from the client, we're able to execute quickly, even in some of the more competitive markets.

At the moment, we're averaging somewhere between 4 to 6 weeks to secure a property.

If the brief is still evolving or decisions take longer, that timeline can naturally stretch out.

Every property we assess goes through a pretty rigorous internal process before it ever gets near a client.

We have a 45-point checklist that we run through consistently, covering things like main roads, flood exposure, bushfire overlays, zoning risks, and a range of other on-ground factors that can impact both growth and risk.

From there, we layer in suburb-level supply and demand, comparable sales, rental demand, and broader market positioning.

The reality is, most properties don't make the cut. On average, we reject 9 out of every 10 properties we assess.

The goal isn't just to find a property - it's to filter aggressively until only the ones with the strongest fundamentals remain.

There's a bit of nuance to this.

We're not out there chasing unicorn deals or distressed sales.

What we focus on is buying at a very competitive price relative to the current market, which comes from strong negotiation and great relationships with agents across multiple markets.

Because of that, most of the properties we secure end up being bought well relative to comparable sales, which is where that initial value comes from.

We don't rely on surface-level data or general suburb trends.

Every decision is made by combining macro analysis - things like population growth, infrastructure, and economic drivers - with very local, on-the-ground insights like street quality, housing mix, and buyer demand.

On top of that, every property goes through our internal filtering process, which is designed to eliminate avoidable risks before a property is ever presented.

No.

We buy across multiple states depending on where the best opportunities are at the time.

Our job isn't to push a specific city or suburb - it's to find the best risk-adjusted opportunities across the country based on your strategy.

This really depends on you.

There isn't one suburb or one market that is "the best" for everyone, because the right balance between growth, yield, and risk is driven by your income, borrowing capacity, time horizon, and overall strategy.

That's why we run a strategy session upfront using PropGoal, our proprietary internal software, where we map out what that balance should look like for you specifically.

From there, we can identify the markets and asset types that actually align with your situation, rather than trying to force a one-size-fits-all answer.

"Instant equity" gets thrown around a lot, but it's often misunderstood.

In most cases, you can't just settle a property and immediately refinance it the next day - that's not how lending works in Australia.

What we do focus on is making sure the property is purchased really well relative to the market.

Through detailed comparable sales analysis - which is really just a deep dive into what similar properties have actually sold for in recent months - we know that the majority of the properties we buy are secured at a level that sits meaningfully below what the market is currently paying for similar assets.

That's how we create a strong starting position from day one.

Yes, absolutely - for the right client.

We do come across deals that have renovation or development potential, and in some cases they can make a lot of sense.

But in general, we prefer to focus on buying a quality asset in a growing market, because that's usually what creates the most value in the short to medium term.

Value-add deals can work, but they also take more time, more effort, and more execution risk, which is why we generally don't encourage early-stage investors to rely on that strategy unless it genuinely suits their situation.
