FAQs
How do I start investing in property for the first time?
If you’ve never invested before, the best place to start is with a personalised strategy.
At OpenCorp, we help you understand what’s possible based on your income, lifestyle, borrowing power, and goals. From there, we create a tailored plan and handle everything, from finance, property selection to property management, so you can invest confidently, even if you’ve never done it before.
Do I need a big income to become a property investor?
Not necessarily. What matters most is your borrowing capacity, ability to manage cash flow, and how your loan is structured.
We work with clients from a wide range of income levels and help them get into the market with a plan that fits their situation and supports growth over time.
Can I invest in property while renting?
Yes. It’s called rentvesting, where you rent the home you live in and invest in suburbs with stronger growth potential.
This strategy helps you build wealth sooner, without giving up the lifestyle or location you want now.
What is equity and how can I use it to invest?
Equity is the difference between what your home is worth and how much you owe on it.
If you’ve owned a property for a few years, you may be able to access that built-up value to fund your next investment, without needing to save another deposit.
We help you unlock equity safely, structure your finance correctly, and invest in a way that doesn’t impact your lifestyle.
Can I use my Super to invest in property?
Yes, if you have a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and follow ATO guidelines.
OpenCorp helps clients understand how SMSF lending works and how to invest in property inside a fund. While we don’t provide financial advice, we work alongside your licensed advisor to ensure compliance and support your investment strategy.
What stops most investors from growing beyond one property?
Most people hit a wall because they invest without a strategy.
Poor suburb selection, emotional buying, inefficient finance, and poor structure can all block future borrowing. We help you avoid those traps by building a clear plan for growth, so your next move doesn’t become your last.
Do I need to manage the property myself?
No. OpenCorp offers full-service property management to make your investment truly hands-off.
We handle tenant selection, maintenance, rental optimisation, and compliance, so your property performs, without adding to your to-do list.
What makes OpenCorp different from a buyer’s agent?
We don’t just find you a property, we build you a plan and execute the plan for you.
Buyer’s agents typically help with one transaction. We help you grow a portfolio, with end-to-end support including finance, property selection, risk mitigation, and long-term portfolio planning. We also hold an AFS Licence and submit client performance data to ASIC.
What kind of returns do OpenCorp clients see?
Our clients’ portfolios consistently outperform capital city market averages.
On average, since 2006 OpenCorp clients have generated $254K+ more per property than standard benchmarks (based on performance independently verified to ASIC standards). We’re the only property investment firm in Australia who transparently share client results to this level of accountability.
Is now a good time to invest in property?
The best time to invest depends on your personal situation, not the headlines.
With a sound strategy and long-term view, there are always opportunities. We help you understand the market, your position and whether you’re ready to move.
What if I don’t know what I can afford?
That’s exactly where we come in.
We help you get clear on your borrowing power, savings requirements, and finance structure, so you know what you can do right now, and what’s possible in the near future.
How do I know which suburb to invest in?
We do that for you, using 19,000+ hours of annual research.
Our suburb selection process is backed by data, not emotion. We look at rental demand, infrastructure, capital growth potential, and affordability to ensure your investment is positioned to perform.
What does the process look like from start to finish?
Here’s what it typically looks like:
- Free strategy session
- Finance assessment and structure
- Property research and recommendation
- Approval, settlement, and setup
- Property management and tenant placement
- Ongoing portfolio reviews and growth planning
You stay focused on your life, we handle the rest.
