Buying an investment property can be stressful.
The list of unknowns is vast: is it really a growth area? Is rental demand really high enough? Is this particular property really suited to ‘flipping’? Is it really worth what I’m paying? Is my financier really offering the best deal possible?
If you could only know for sure that the property would make money, you’d feel a lot better.
Well, there’s only one guarantee in life, and it doesn’t relate to buying property! But at Mardent, our philosophy takes away the guesswork and makes your property purchase as future proof as possible.
Our philosophy has three pillars:
- Properly understanding your personal circumstances and the strategy you want to adopt, or in other words, what you want to do with your investment – for example, flip it, buy and hold, develop, or buy off plan
- Finding the right area and the right property – together, our DSR and SSI software quickly and easily identify the best properties in the best areas to suit you
- Wholesale purchasing – by buying with a group, you gain a financial advantage and have immediate equity.
We want to get to know you
Our property experts believe that understanding your financial circumstances and identifying what you want out of your investment property is key to success. We can help you work out the best strategy for your financial future, and then find the property to make it happen.
We have the technology to find the best property in the best area … in seconds!
Mardent uses two ground-breaking programs which take the guesswork out of choosing the right investment property: the DSR or demand to supply ratio; and the SSI or strategy suitability index. The DSR finds the best areas for growth while the SSI matches areas with your strategy.
The DSR is a measure of the demand in a particular property market compared to supply. It is calculated using statistics such as auction clearance rates, vacancy rates, days on market, stock on market, ripple effect potential, market cycle timing and rental growth.
The DSR pools these metrics to provide a single convenient score out of 100.
It’s like an overall summary so we can quickly know if the market is in trouble or has some investment potential. The higher the DSR the more demand outweighs supply and therefore the more likely capital growth will occur.
The exciting thing is we can pick out the better locations for our clients in a matter of seconds. What’s more, we can compare each market consistently and independently across 32,000 suburbs in Austalia.
The SSI Score gives a ‘strategy suitability’ score to each property on the market. So, as an example, we could tell you that Suburb A’s SSI for flipping is 50, but next door Suburb B has a much more compatible score of 65. The SSI is driven by real time data, is accurate, and can also be calculated in seconds. Read more about Wholesale Property Purchasing in our next article..or download our Wholesale Property Guide.
