With decades of experience, Invest by Metricon expert Daniel Hubbard notes that a few common concerns consistently hold people back from tapping into their earning potential through property investment.
"Fear and procrastination are the two big ones," Daniel explains. "Often, it’s a mix of both. But that’s where Invest by Metricon comes in - we’re here to offer the knowledge and support to guide you every step of the way. It’s about nurturing confidence and empowering people to take the leap. Ultimately, it’s an education process."
Could property investment be a reality for you?
If you already own your home, chances are you have a decent amount of equity that could be used to start building an investment property to rent out, even if you’re still paying off your mortgage.
“We’re talking about everyday Australians - whether single or part of a working couple - who are steadily paying down their mortgage but have the appetite to invest in property," Daniel says. "Often, they’re either too time-poor to pursue it or unsure of where to begin, so they bench the idea or put it off for later.”
People who might benefit from this process include those who:
- Have the equity but aren’t sure how to move forward
- Are uncertain why investing in property now is smarter than waiting until closer to retirement
- Are ready to invest but need the right guidance
- Are eager but simply too time-poor to manage the process
For all of these scenarios, Invest by Metricon provides a trusted service with integrity, focused on delivering tailored solutions. Daniel and his team are dedicated to turning tomorrow’s opportunities into today’s reality.
“The Great Australian Dream has always been rooted in trust and belief in property, and we’re here to support that aspiration,” he says. “Property investment is for the everyday Australian who wants to advance in their lives and prepare for their future.” Daniel Hubbard
“The real engine behind property investment is that you're receiving rental income from a tenant while saving through tax benefits,” Daniel explains. “We guide people through the process of gearing and show how you can access those tax savings in advance by using tax variation forms, rather than waiting until the end of the year.”
By providing potential investors with the right tools, the path to investing becomes much clearer. “We conduct a cashflow analysis to demonstrate how much tax an investment property could save you each year,” Daniel says. “That, combined with rental income, helps you manage your outgoings. It’s like a light-bulb moment.”
Through another lens
After Invest by Metricon opens the door, Daniel says potential customers often wonder why they didn’t take the plunge sooner.
“Once they understand the strategy and mechanics, we can then focus on building a beautiful Metricon home in a location with predicted growth, both in rental and resale value,” Daniel explains.
“We typically recommend a classic four-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a standard block. It’s about shifting the perspective - seeing it as a strategic investment tool to achieve your financial goals, rather than an emotional purchase.”
After all, you're buying to rent out, not live in the property yourself. This strategy is also available to non-homeowners through rentvesting. “If someone has an affordable rental arrangement that fits their lifestyle - like a couple of people living as housemates - that can help them save for a deposit,” Daniel explains. “This can open up investment as a potentially smarter alternative to buying for themselves.”
“With rent and tax deductions covering many of the costs, you could end up only paying a small amount a week out of pocket. Meanwhile, you're leveraging your borrowing power in the right area."
Building for the future
Daniel and his team are passionate about guiding people through the investment journey, helping them think big and see the potential for long-term growth.
“We are dedicated to ensuring the investment remains cashflow comfortable while targeting capital growth,” he explains. “The goal is to build equity and wealth, so you can leverage that to potentially pursue a second or even third build.”
One of the key benefits of partnering with Invest by Metricon is the comprehensive support offered, no matter your situation. “We cover everything, from property management and depreciation schedules to financing and solicitors. We will also guide you throughout the construction phase and getting your property tenanted,” Daniel says.
“We’ll be there for the whole journey. We offer a holistic service, an end-to-end solution, and you’re working with the leading home builder in Australia. We’re also building in master-planned communities that are top-tier, so there’s a whole lot of comfort in that.”
