What does a property investment company do in Australia?+
A property investment company helps you build a property portfolio that matches your financial goals. Liviti combines buyer's agency, mortgage broking, tax structuring through wealth advisory, and construction services so one team manages the full purchase. Most Australian firms focus on one part of this. Liviti covers the full lifecycle.
How do I choose the right property investment company in Australia?+
Look for fee transparency (fixed fees over commissions), independent property selection (no developer kickbacks), an AFSL or credit licence where required, verifiable client outcomes, and clear suburb specialisation. Ask how many purchases the lead advisor personally completes each year and request recent case studies in your target market.
What does Liviti charge?+
Fixed engagement fees, not commissions. The exact fee depends on the service mix. A discovery call is free and includes a fee proposal scoped to your strategy. Book a call to receive the breakdown.
Is property investment in Australia still worth it after the 2026 budget changes?+
The 2026 federal budget proposed limiting negative gearing on existing properties from 1 July 2027, while keeping concessions for new builds, plus capital gains tax changes. Property investment remains viable, but strategy matters more than ever. The framework now favours new builds, growth corridors, and investors with strong tax structuring. Liviti rebuilt its advisory model specifically for the post-2027 regime.
Who is Liviti and where are you based?+
Liviti is an Australian property investment firm offering buyer's agency, mortgage broking, wealth advisory, construction services, and market research. The firm operates across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane and serves clients nationally. Liviti specialises in high-income professionals including doctors, expats, FIFO and mining employees, tech professionals with equity compensation, and business owners.
How is Liviti different from other Australian property investment firms?+
Three differences. First, full lifecycle in one firm from buyer's agency through construction handover. Second, fixed-fee engagements with no developer commissions. Third, specialist verticals for high-income professionals with complex income structures, including RSU and ESOP holders, FIFO workers, doctors, and expats.
What is the minimum portfolio size to work with Liviti?+
Liviti works with investors purchasing their first investment property through to those building a portfolio of five or more properties. There is no minimum portfolio size, but service scope is matched to investor goals during the discovery call.
Does Liviti help with SMSF property investment?+
Yes. SMSF property is one of Liviti's specialist areas. Liviti partners with accountants and SMSF advisers to handle compliance, structure, and property selection. See the SMSF pillar guide for the framework.
Where does Liviti source investment properties?+
Liviti uses a research-driven suburb selection methodology that excludes developer-incentive properties. The buyer's agency team accesses both on-market and off-market opportunities, with a documented preference for established suburbs in growth corridors over off-the-plan apartment stock.
How long does the Liviti process take?+
Typical timeline: discovery call (1 hour), strategy session and finance pre-approval (2 to 3 weeks), property search and acquisition (4 to 12 weeks depending on market), settlement and handover (4 to 6 weeks post-purchase). Total range: 11 to 21 weeks.
