Echo Property Group

Building an investment property comes with a lot of moving parts… and a lot of decisions.

Which site? What’s the right strategy? What should you pay? Who do you trust to build it? And what happens when something doesn’t go to plan?

We’ve learned the answers on the ground, managing projects from start to finish.

From renovations and subdivisions to duplex and rooming house builds, every project has taught us something different.

And that experience matters when you’re investing your own money.

Because when challenges come up, and they will, it helps to have people around you who have seen them before and know how to work through them.

You don’t need to know everything about property development - you need the right people around you who do.

How one negotiation saved Jason $40K

After four projects with Echo, Jason says there’s been plenty of moments where h he’s been glad to have us involved. But one particular land purchase really stuck with him.

He’d told Joel what he was comfortable paying for the land for one of his rooming house projects.

Joel could have taken that number, negotiated the deal and moved on.

Instead, he kept pushing.

Then came the phone call Jason wasn’t expecting: the land had been secured around $30–$40K below what he was prepared to pay.

For an investor, that’s more than a number on a contract.

It’s knowing that the person sitting across the table is actually looking after your money. That they’re not just trying to close the deal—they’re trying to get the right deal for you.

That’s what stood out to Jason.

After four projects together, it’s these moments that build the trust to keep investing with the same people.

Because when you’re putting a significant amount of your money into property, knowing you’ve got someone genuinely in your corner matters.

This is how property became part of our story...

If you’re new to Echo, you might know us as the people behind the business, but you might not know how we both ended up here.

For us, property started with something pretty simple: we wanted the freedom and choice to live the life we wanted.

For Bianca, that lifestyle has always been a big part of who she is. She grew up on the Sunshine Coast and has always loved the outdoors, the coast and having the beach right on her doorstep.

For me, it was a bit different. I grew up in Victoria before moving to the Sunshine Coast for university. After finishing, I ended up working in the mines in WA. It didn’t take me long to realise it wasn’t something I wanted to do forever.

While I was there, I developed a real passion for property and started thinking about what was possible beyond working a job for someone else.

Then I came across a seriously run-down property in Alexandra Headland, just two streets back from the beach.

It was the classic “worst house in the best street”, and it was going to auction while I was home on R&R.

I wasn’t actually ready to bid, which turned out to be a pretty good thing. It passed in, and I managed to secure it afterwards.

And that house ended up changing more than just my property portfolio.

It’s actually where Bianca and I met.

And, well… the rest is history.

Today, investing and developing is still a big part of our lives and why we love helping others do the same - but it’s always been about more than the property itself.

It’s about freedom, choice and creating a life you genuinely enjoy living.

What could your business help you invest in next?

This latest duplex project shows what a clear property strategy did for our client: over $700K in equity created, a $2,000/week rental appraisal, and a 6.5% gross yield.

At Echo, we help busy business owners put their capital to work through strategic property development - bringing the experience, planning and project management to turn an opportunity into an investment, while you stay focused on running your business.

Determining what the best and highest use is for this site 🏡

Duplex investment opportunity - Council-approved and ready to build. 🏗️

We currently have a block available in a recently completed subdivision on the Sunshine Coast, with council approval already in place for a duplex similar to the project shown under construction in this video.

With the approval process already completed, you’re not starting from scratch. You can secure the site and move towards construction sooner.

For the right investor, it’s an opportunity to add two new dwellings to your portfolio through one development project, build equity, and add rental income.

The site is also positioned in an area of the Sunshine Coast currently experiencing significant infrastructure investment, new development and continued growth.

The site is approved. The strategy is in place. Now it’s ready for someone to bring the project to life. 🏡🏡

Interested in the numbers? Send us a message, and we’ll take you through the opportunity.

From “I didn’t agree with it at all” to “Let’s go again!” 😄

Joel caught up with our mate Sutto from Sutton Constructions, who is also one of our builders, a client, and now a rooming house convert in more ways than one.

Sutto has worked with us on two rooming house conversions to add to his portfolio, and has seen the process from both sides: on site as a builder and as an investor himself.

So, what changed his mind? And what’s it like working through a conversion when things don’t always go to plan?

Watch Sutto share why it pays to take the emotion out of investing and follow the numbers.
