A young couple with little kids, Indian nationals in Singapore with new Australian PR, investing to secure their future move.
Rohan and Akansha are a young couple with little kids, Indian nationals who'd built their working life in Singapore. Rohan had recently secured Australian PR, and they planned to stay in Singapore a few more years before any move. Rather than wait, they wanted to put their PR to work and start investing in Australia now, so the foundation was laid for when the time came.
A solid rental-yield investment that made sense on the numbers, structured to avoid the extra upfront costs foreign buyers usually wear. With young kids and a busy life across two countries, they needed it to be straightforward.
Canberra made the case on its own. The ACT has no FIRB stamp duty, which saved Rohan and Akansha around $71,000 on entry costs alone. We secured Phase 1 pricing on an off-the-plan two-bed apartment, structured the foreign-buyer entry, ran the financial modelling, and coordinated the legal and conveyancing end to end so they could stay focused on family and work.
Tenanted at $850 per week within seven days of completion in December 2025, a gross yield near 4.9%. Bought at $893,900, currently valued around $950,000, roughly $56,100 of growth (≈6.3%). A foothold in Australia, secured for the family's future.
