I recently purchased my first investment property, and at hand over last week the capital growth is already at $77,000! Thank you so much to Michael and the team there for making this so easy for me.

Hey Jack, congratulations on buying your first investment property, we are very pleased with your initial capital growth and we believe there is much more to come. We helped, but you are the one who made the decision to buy the property so congratulations again.
All the best from the whole team at The Successful Investor

Having just purchased my third property through Karen and the team at the successful investor, I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for getting me on the way with my investment property portfolio.
Being a busy professional they took the hassle of finding and co-ordinating the whole project from beginning to end and both my first two properties were quickly tenanted and now cover their own costs completely. Getting closer to having this support me completely!

Hello Bejay, and thank you so much for your positive comments, Karen is a wonderful member of our team and we are lucky to have her with us. Thank you for trusting us to help you build your property portfolio and we are as excited as you are about the great results you have achieved already.
Best regards from the TSI team.

We were introduced to The Successful Investor in early 2016 and all throughout the experience we felt as though our personal goals were well considered. The options presented to us were in line with our aspirations. We agreed on an investment which worked for us and our experience was nothing short of brilliant with our dealings with representatives from the company, with consistent contact both throughout and after our investment was in place we were extremely happy. We’d have no hesitation in recommending TSI to any of our family and friends.

I went to a forum in Melbourne, it was not pushy and no big sales pitch which was a big suprise for me, i have been to others recently and they all wanted me to sign up on the night. The information was very good although there were a lot of topics discussed, many too many. Question time would be good as well.
I met with one of their agents about the loan they discussed at the forum about helping a relative buy their first home with no deposit, i had never heard of that but now we are looking into it.

Approximate cost: $0

Thanks Mosh, yes our forums are not like the others, just quality information and great content, thanks for your positive comments and we look forward to helping you on your investment journey.

My wife and I purchased an off the plan apartment through TSI 6 years ago, after being told that TSI only use reputable and long standing builders and businesses, that they have had success with in the past. (low risk) Six years later, the complex remains unfinished with the builder having taken off. Our particular apartment has more than $200,000 of defects to rectify. It is unable to be sold and is not up to code. We have had nothing but heartache and stress from this [redacted inflammatory comment] "investment" recommended by TSI. And when we approached them, they washed their hands of any responsibility. Worst of all, they actually called us to invest with them again, without even researching the outcome of our last investment. This company is a joke and anyone wanting to better the future of their family through investment property should steer clear of TSI.

This is Michael Sloan, owner of The Successful Investor. Im sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the investment property you purchased from our agency.

Our goal is for every purchaser to leave a 5 star review and be totally satisfied with their experience.

Unfortunately even builders and developers with a long term positive history can develop financial issues and go into liquidation.

Having gone through a very similar process with a property my wife and I bought, I can sympathise with your circumstances. This is a very rare occurrence. At the time we were so positive about these investment properties that one of our own agents who worked here at the time bought one herself.

Rather than wash our hands of the situation you may not be aware that we took the builder to court at our expense in an endeavour obtain compensation for our clients. Unfortunately this was unsuccessful and the builder went into liquidation.

Currently this matter is with QBE the builders warranty insurance company and we very much hope for a positive outcome for all the buyers in this complex.

We will continue to offer whatever help and expertise we have.

I first met Karen over three years ago and she encouraged me to get going and use the equity we had our in our home to buy an investment property.
I now have three properties and the advice, support and patience I have received from Karen and Daniella has been sensational.
I love the continued support I get along the way and I would certainly recommend the SI to people who are willing to improve their financial situation.

Approximate cost: $400

Hello Mick, thank you very much for your positive comments, all the feedback in the office is that you were an absolute pleasure to work with.
Cheers from the TSI team

Unfortunately my experience with TSI has been a very poor one. My property settled $20k under purchase price, others were $60k. After two years I found out there were significant defects. Luckily other owners were qualified builders and identified the issues for the other owners. My apartment has no insulation in the walls, on top of other issues, meaning it would cost over $200k to fix everything! The developer went broke and didn't finish the complex and the builder went bankrupt after an insurance claim was put in. It has been a nightmare! I strongly advise against working with TSI as their checking of developers and builders is appalling. I know they will say this was a one off [redacted unverified claim] Please get your properties thoroughly checked by professionals as I had no idea there were any issues, now I have an apartment that is almost worthless! Financially my future has been significantly compromised because of TSI and their lack of due diligence. The stress and toll it has taken on my wife and I has been enormous.

We do recommend our clients engage an independent building inspector for their purchases.

We love that the Successful Investor team have already conducted the due diligence on the properties and locations prior to offering them to investors. They truly have your best interests at heart and they lead you through every step of the process which is great for new as well as experienced investors. We have already purchased two properties through The Successful Investor (with very pleasing results so far) and we won't hesitate in purchasing our next one through them. Thankyou to Karen, Daniella and the rest of the team. Our financial future looks very positive indeed!

Hello Naomi and Craig, thank you so much for your really positive comments, we agree that we are very lucky to have Karen and Daniella as vital parts of our team. You have been a pleasure to deal with the whole time, we look forward to assisting you in the future.
Regards,
Michael

I highly recommend The Successful Investor! I was a bit skeptical at first as I had almost been burned badly before with a similar company. However, I did not pay anything to engage them and the process from meeting with Karen the very first time to handover last week has been so easy. Karen helped me select, inspect and build my investment property and kept me up to date with the financial gain whilst I was waiting to build. Daniella in the office is so helpful, she followed up with questions I had, she liaised with the builder for me where needed, she updated me on progress every week once the build started and she guided me through the whole process. The fact that she is so lovely, was a bonus :) My partner and I are planning to use the Successful Investor again in the future. Thankyou so much for helping me to start my road to property investment, you guys are awesome.

Hello Natasha and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Thank you as well for your really nice comments, we could not agree more with your thoughts about Karen and Daniella. We are proud to have helped you on your journey to wealth creation through property.
Cheers,
Michael
