Luke & Jessica Halbert

Luke and Jess came to Property Club on the recommendation of Jess's father, who had built his own investment portfolio with the Club’s guidance. While their journey started with a few unexpected hurdles, the couple ultimately walked away with a strong result and a much deeper understanding of property investing.

Unfortunately, their first two property selections didn’t proceed due to unforeseen issues on the developer’s side. While this could have derailed their plans, Property Club’s team stepped in quickly with support and alternatives, helping to keep their investment journey on track.

Mentors Michael Brooks and Roger Galway provided consistent guidance throughout the process. From negotiating with developers over last-minute issues to securing a better purchase price, they made sure Luke and Jess were not left to manage the challenges on their own. Their involvement was especially valuable as the couple were buying interstate, which can be daunting without trusted local support.

The initial rental appraisal was slightly above the final rental range, but the property still achieved a solid result. It was a reminder that market conditions can shift, and having experienced mentors to help navigate expectations is an advantage.

Meeting the mentors in person also made a difference. Roger provided airport pick-up and drop-off, helping to make their inspection trip as smooth as possible.

Ultimately, Luke and Jess say their experience with Property Club delivered more than just an investment property. It gave them greater confidence and clarity for the future. For anyone navigating the complexity of buying, especially interstate, they recommend Property Club’s mentorship to help guide the way.
