CLIENT SUCCESS STORY
Diversifying a Growing Property Portfolio
How Ryan and Kylie added an established South Australian property to their portfolio, with a focus on long-term capital growth and negative gearing.
The Client Goal
Ryan and Kylie were looking to purchase their third investment property as a long-term hold. They wanted an established family home with the potential for strong capital growth, while also diversifying their portfolio across different locations.
As high-income earners with an existing property portfolio, negative gearing was also an important consideration in their broader strategy.
Ryan and Kylie wanted to expand their property portfolio with a high-growth investment that would support their long-term wealth strategy. Galaxy identified and secured an established family home in South Australia for $706,500, helping them diversify into a new market while taking advantage of potential capital growth and negative gearing. After 15 months, the property was estimated to be worth $770,000, representing an estimated $63,500 increase in value (8.9%) while generating $550 per week in rental income.

The purchase helped Ryan and Kylie expand their portfolio into a new location while securing the established property and long-term investment profile they were seeking.
