InvestorKit for tradies
You know a solid house. Now find the right market for one.
You can spot tired wiring and a sagging roofline from the street. Choosing the suburb, running the numbers and negotiating with a selling agent is a different trade. We handle that side, and you keep the final say.

Google reviewI'm a licenced builder and long term property investor. This was my first time using a buyer's agent. I will use investorkit for all future purchases as I now see the value that they add.

Sound familiar?
You work hard for your money. You just don’t have the hours to research markets.
Your income moves with the work
Busy months and quiet months make it hard to know what you can commit to, and harder to explain to a bank.
Your evenings are already spoken for
After a day on the tools, then quoting and invoicing, there is little left for suburb research and weekend open homes.
Lenders read your income differently
ABN income, overtime and allowances are not always assessed like a flat salary, so it can feel like the goalposts keep moving.
You have seen the shortcuts up close
You have worked on houses built to a price. You do not want to own one because someone was paid to sell it to you.
What is really going on
You already know the house. The gap is the market and the numbers.
Knowing how a house goes together is a real advantage when you invest. What it can’t tell you is which market has the demand, supply and rents to support growth, or what a property is really worth on the day you make an offer. A plan built on your real cash flow, quiet months included, covers the first gap. We handle the research, checks and negotiation, so less of your own time goes on the search.
How we help tradies
Your eye for a house. Our research and negotiation.
The same process every client follows, run around your working week.
- 01
Start with a free call
A 15-minute conversation about your goals, your income and your timeline. There is no obligation, and you do not need to be ready to buy.
- 02
Plan around real cash flow
Your strategist looks at your borrowing, buffers and how your income moves through the year, so a quiet month does not put the plan under pressure. Your broker confirms how lenders will treat your income.
- 03
Research nationally, on data
We compare markets across Australia on demand, supply and rents, then narrow to suburbs that fit your budget and plan.
- 04
Check and negotiate established houses
We focus on established houses. Every shortlisted property goes through our 20-point due diligence before we negotiate. You see the evidence, including the building and pest findings, and you make the final call.
- 05
Stay with you after settlement
We coordinate settlement with your broker, solicitor and property manager, then review your plan as your work and income change.

What clients say about working with us.
Excerpts from verified Google reviews. Individual experiences, not promised or typical results.
Google reviewI hired Investorkit because I’m time poor and didn’t have the capacity to do all the research, deal with agents or handle negotiations myself.

Google reviewThey really do all the heavy lifting, meaning my husband and I could continue focusing on our work commitments.

A fair question
I know houses. Why would I pay someone to buy one?
Because the house is only part of the job. The rest is choosing a market on evidence, checking the numbers and negotiating with a selling agent whose job is to get the most from you. That is weeks of research and inspections you would otherwise fit around paid work. We cannot promise the fee pays for itself. We show you the evidence behind every recommendation, and your trade knowledge makes those reviews sharper, not redundant.
- We confirm the scope and fee with you before you engage us.
- Paid by you only: no developer commissions and no selling agent referral fees.
- You approve every purchase. Nothing is bought without your agreement.

Law, not yet startedFederalFrom
Negative gearing limited for established homes
From 1 July 2027, losses on established residential investment properties bought after 7:30pm AEST on 12 May 2026 can only be offset against residential property income and gains, not wages. Properties already held at that time keep their current treatment, and newly built homes are exempt.

Law, not yet startedFederalFrom
CGT discount replaced by indexation and a 30% minimum tax
For gains that build up from 1 July 2027, the 50% capital gains tax discount is replaced by indexing the cost base to inflation, plus a 30% minimum tax on the real gain. Gains built up before that date keep the 50% discount, and main residences stay exempt.
