James: Second-time Investor

James was a second-time property investor who bought his first investment property himself, 8 years prior…and achieved a great result from it!

But it took a toll.

“From the moment I started researching to actually signing the contract, it took a minimum of two years. Every weekend I’d be out looking, comparing, and analysing. I had a few deals fall through along the way too. It was exhausting, and an intense process that ate up so much of my time.”

“And now, I just don’t have that kind of time anymore. Life is busier.”

James knew he could benefit from the help of an experienced Buyer’s Agent for the purchase of his second investment property.

“I found Property Navigation through a Google search and did a pretty thorough cross-reference against them and all the others" he said. The hesitation was real; after all, hiring a buyer’s agent is a significant financial decision. "I think it comes down to the idea of ‘False Economy’ …. I’ve done this before, so why would I pay someone to do this when I can do it myself?" James told us.

“I was originally looking to overlap lifestyle goals with investment goals, so I was searching for Buyer’s Agents and Advocates in my local area of Greater Brisbane.”

“I came in thinking I’d buy an apartment in Brisbane that I could both live in and use for investment. My initial thought was to go local and overlap those two ideas, but thankfully Boyd helped me reframe my perspective, and that was very useful.”

“Boyd heard me out and said, ‘We can absolutely do that, but you should consider these other options, which may serve your goals better.’”

“And that was just in my free Discovery Call” James recalled.

“I can’t tell you how glad I am that I listened.”

“The most valuable part was that I was told what I needed to hear, not just what I wanted to hear.”
