Why clients choose GetInvested

Most investors struggle because they chase the wrong suburb, follow social media hype, or buy without a strategy. It is rarely a lack of effort. It is a plan with no structure, no sequence and no risk controls.

GetInvested fixes that.

I help everyday people build portfolios designed to:

  • Be positioned for strong tenant demand
  • Grow to a plan, not a guess
  • Target positive cash flow, modelled and stress-tested before you buy
  • Be held with a long-term plan in mind

My approach blends:

  • Portfolio architecture
  • Finance structure mapping
  • Risk management
  • Property selection filters
  • Cash flow modelling
  • Long-term planning

This is not about hotspots, luck or blind optimism. It is about building an asset base that actually works.

Getting into property with less than $100K: here's how

See how everyday Australians are getting into property without massive savings. A simple, disciplined approach.

Real strategies. Real outcomes.

These examples show how structured property strategies can create value, and how disciplined analysis helps avoid costly mistakes. Every opportunity is assessed through planning controls, feasibility modelling and demand analysis before any recommendation is made.

Case study 1

Strategy breakdown

  1. Opportunity identified. A 1,020sqm block with subdivision potential overlooked by most buyers.
  2. Zoning verified. Local planning controls confirmed a clean one to two subdivision was permissible.
  3. Feasibility tested. Civil works and subdivision costs modelled before acquisition.
  4. Subdivision executed. A new rear lot created while retaining the existing dwelling.
  5. Equity created. Combined value increased to $935K, generating $235K in additional equity.
Case study 2

Duplex development

  1. Site sourced. A 950sqm block in a high-demand family suburb.
  2. Development potential confirmed. Zoning allowed duplex construction.
  3. Build feasibility verified. Build cost verified across multiple builders.
  4. Development executed. An efficient duplex design maximised land use and rental appeal.
  5. Value uplift created. Completed value $1.345M, producing $320K equity uplift.
Case study 3

A deal we advised a client not to buy

At first glance this property appeared to be a strong development opportunity. Large block. Good suburb. Strong resale market. After running our feasibility analysis we identified several planning and infrastructure issues that significantly reduced the project's viability.

What we found

  • Drainage easement affecting the build area
  • Higher than expected civil works costs
  • Planning restrictions limiting the build envelope

The revised numbers

Total project cost: $1.41M. Estimated end value: $1.38M. The project would likely have resulted in a loss once holding and selling costs were included.

We advised the client not to proceed. Protecting clients from poor investments is just as important as finding good ones.

Getting started: the steps
1

Book the call

We look at your numbers, your goals and what you are actually trying to build, to see if you qualify for the Strategy Deep-Dive.

2

Get your plan

If it is the right fit, we build a clear, personalised roadmap, define the lending structure and sequencing, and determine whether you are suited to value-add or development opportunities.

3

Execute the plan

We help source the right deal, whether that is a cash-flow property, a value-add purchase or a vetted development site, and make sure the structure supports a long-term plan.

No hype. No guesswork. Just a clear path to building a structured property portfolio.

When the structure is right, investors can make clearer decisions and avoid costly sequencing mistakes. These examples illustrate the kinds of outcomes a disciplined strategy can support. Individual results vary.

I ran into some challenges getting the loan approved and the deal was at risk of falling through. Alan stepped in and was able to restructure the finance and guide the process through to approval.

About me

Alan Dean

Founder, GetInvested

I don't trade theories, I build portfolios. I built my own property portfolio from the ground up using one thing: a disciplined strategy applied consistently in the real world. Now I help everyday Australians apply the same approach. My background gives clients practical insight into finance structure, risk, sequencing and property decision-making. Your outcome will depend on your own circumstances, borrowing capacity, property selection and market conditions.

I help source the right properties and structure the finance, and guide you through the same disciplined steps I have used for my own portfolio and with hundreds of clients.

I'm not an influencer coach or a traditional agent. I'm the person people come to when they are done wasting time and ready to build something real. If you are ready to move from interest to action, I'll show you how.

Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a big deposit to get started?
No. Most of our clients start with far less than they think, many under $80K to $120K depending on the strategy. The key is not the size of your deposit; it is the structure, your borrowing power and selecting the right deal. That is why the first step is running your real numbers, not guessing.
What if the banks have already said no?
It happens all the time. Banks often say no when the structure is wrong, not because the client cannot invest. We look at second-tier lenders, smarter finance setups and borrowing strategies most people never hear about. If there is a path forward, we will find it.
How soon can I actually get into my first property?
Many clients secure a deal within a few weeks of their plan being complete. The rest is settlement and setup. When your numbers and strategy are tight from day one, things move faster. Timeframes vary by lender, finance and property.
Will I end up with a property that bleeds cash?
We run everything through a cash-flow-first filter. If it drains your pocket, it does not make the shortlist. Every deal is tested against rent, repayments, buffers and long-term sustainability before we present it. Outcomes still depend on your circumstances and market conditions.
How much can I realistically make from this?
Honest answer: no one can tell you a number upfront, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Returns depend on your borrowing capacity, deposit, the property, rents, rates, costs and the market. What we do instead is model your numbers before you commit: expected rent, holding costs, interest rate stress tests and the assumptions behind any value-add work, so you can see a realistic range for your situation and decide with the risks on the table. General information only. This does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.
How do you source the properties?
We source off-market, pre-market and on-market opportunities using strict criteria: positive cash flow, strong rental demand, low vacancy, growth drivers and development or value-add potential. You are not guessing on a property portal; we do the heavy lifting and filter out the noise.
Do I have to figure any of this out myself?
No. We handle the strategy, structure, sourcing, checks, numbers and negotiation. You make the decisions, we manage the process. This is done with you, not to you.
What does it cost to work with you?
You will know the exact cost before you commit. No hidden fees, no surprises. We focus on the value the strategy adds through cash flow, equity and avoiding costly mistakes, not charging for the sake of it.
Is this strategy risky?
Every investment carries risk, but we work to reduce it through strict deal selection, structure-first finance, stress-tested numbers, buffers and long-term planning. We don't chase hotspots or hype. We focus on stable cash flow first.
Can this really grow into a full portfolio?
It can, if the structure is right. Many clients grow their portfolio over time because we focus on cash flow, equity recycling, smart lending sequences and controlled development options. A portfolio is built through sequencing, not luck. Individual results vary.
What makes your strategy different from a buyer's agent?
Buyer's agents find properties. We build portfolios: strategy, structure, sequencing and sourcing. They find a house; we create a plan and a sequence around your goals.
What if interest rates rise again?
All deals are stress-tested at higher rates before you buy. If it only works at today's rate, we don't touch it.
How do you check if a property is actually a good investment?
We analyse cash flow, equity potential, supply and demand pressure, infrastructure, rental data and suburb risk profile. This is a numbers business, not a hope-and-pray business.
Do I need to be great with money?
No. You need discipline and a plan; the money habits follow the structure.
What if I already own a home or investment property?
Good, you are ahead. We review your current structure, work to free up capacity and expand from there.
Can I invest while I'm self-employed?
Yes, with the right lender strategy. We work with self-employed clients all the time.
Do you help with development sites as well?
Yes, for qualified clients. We source, run feasibility and manage the risk properly.
How do I know I won't overpay for a property?
Every property goes through valuation checks, rent comparisons, local sales data and negotiation frameworks. If the numbers don't stack up, we walk.
Do you work with people who have bad credit?
Sometimes; it depends on severity and timeframe. We can review your file and tell you what is realistically possible.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. You still need to take action; we just remove the guesswork.

This is the step that turns interest into real progress.
