Our clients range from professionals and business owners to SMSF trustees looking to build wealth through smart, sustainable property investment.
At minimum, you’ll need a sufficient deposit to be in a position to purchase — typically 5% to 20% of the purchase price, depending on your finance setup. If you’re unsure what this means for you, we can help you determine your borrowing capacity and deposit requirements based on your goals and timeframe.

That’s exactly what we’re here for. At IFS Mentor, we use data-backed analysis, property modelling, and market research to identify high-performing locations across Australia — not just this week's trending suburb.

With Peter’s background in financial planning and strategic structuring, we’ll help you explore the best ownership options with either your accountant or our trusted partner, whether that’s personal name, company, trust, or SMSF, and align your property purchases with your long-term wealth and tax goals.
Start by booking a free discovery call with Peter. We’ll talk through your goals, financial position, and ideal outcomes. From there, we’ll map out a clear investment strategy tailored to your circumstances — whether you’re ready to buy now or still preparing for your first purchase.
