The 15 Steps
One Made Easy guide per asset class — the structure, the income, the diligence and the jargon, in plain English. Read online or download as a booklet.
Before you start searching for your ideal property, work out exactly what equity you have, how much you can afford to spend and the level of borrowing you're comfortable with. Accommodation is a specialty business, so consult an industry specialist finance broker to determine what you can afford and the debt level you're able to service. Ask us for a list of industry professionals in your region. This is a free service that will save you time and money in the long run. Due to the large volume of transactions they complete, finance brokers are often able to secure better deals than going directly to a bank.

Sellers take finance-ready buyers seriously, and the fastest settlements belong to buyers who lined up their professionals before they offered. Three seats to fill.
A specialist finance broker knows which lender is moving on your asset class this quarter and packages the deal so it clears at the LVR you need — before you make an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The six questions buyers ask most during the process. For the terminology itself, the Jargon Buster defines every term in plain English.
Open the Jargon Buster →From first enquiry to keys, the trailing-12-month median is 112 days. Leaseholds with finance pre-approved settle faster; freeholds, parks and anything with a licence transfer run longer. Your broker gives you a class-specific timeline at the brief stage.
You don't do this alone
Specialist accommodation work is a thin profession — a generalist solicitor or a high-street accountant will miss what matters. From due diligence onward, the broker who showed you the asset introduces the experts who've worked on dozens like it. The relationships pre-exist; you inherit them at the point of enquiry.
Specialist solicitor
Reviews the lease, the caretaking and letting agreements, the FF&E schedule and the contract itself. In accommodation, this is the single most important appointment you'll make.
Accountant
Verifies the trading numbers, normalises the P&L for add-backs, and structures the buying entity for tax before you're committed.
Finance broker
Knows which lender is moving on your asset class this quarter, and packages the deal so it clears at the LVR you need.
Building, pest & QS
Inspects the building and the depreciation schedule — what you'll actually spend in year one — so there are no surprises after settlement.
