When it comes to property investment, the first step isn’t just about choosing the right suburb or crunching the numbers—it’s about making sure both partners in the relationship are on the same page. If you’re trying to build wealth through property and your partner isn’t fully engaged you’re setting yourself up for roadblocks instead of results.
At OpenCorp, our rule is that both partners must attend the initial appointment.
In every relationship, there’s usually a “driver” and a “passenger.” The driver is fired up and ready to go, but if the passenger isn’t on board, the journey won’t go far. Instead, you’ll end up with doubts, disagreements, and dreams that never take off.
Breaking Through
Without a clear step-by-step roadmap, property investment can seem overwhelming or unattainable. Concerns like “It’s too risky,” “We can’t afford it,” or “This sounds too good to be true” are common and often stem from misconceptions or a lack of understanding about what’s truly involved in starting the journey.
- “Property investment is only for rich people.” Everyday Australians can build portfolios without breaking the bank. According to ATO data, the median taxable income of property investors in Australia was around $65,000–$80,000 annually in recent years. Holding two or three investment properties might cost you nothing—or even put a bit of extra cash back in your pocket each week.
- “Debt is scary.” Sure, debt can be daunting if you don’t understand how to use it as a tool. That’s where our team at OpenCorp come in, breaking it down so it feels manageable and empowering.
The Power of Alignment
We’ve seen it happen countless times: the “passenger” partner reluctantly comes to an appointment, only to end up driving the strategy a few years later. Why? Because once you start seeing the results—growth in equity, extra income, financial freedom—it’s hard not to get excited.
The real roadblocks aren’t about money or time—they’re about mindset. Our role at OpenCorp is to equip both partners with the knowledge and confidence to move forward together.
