Faq’s - Ethicalgrowth

Process

• how long does the process take from the discovery call?

  If you qualify to work with us, the next step will be a 45-minute Strategy Session with one of our advisors. From here, it takes 8 – 14 weeks from signing up to settlement, depending on your criteria, goals, and strategic brief.

• how long does it take to secure a property?

  It takes between 8-14 weeks after we begin working together to source you the right property that meets your strategic brief.

• do you recommend accountants, brokers, property managers, lawyers, and tax agents?

  Yes, we have recommendations for all of those partners. As part of our service, we find the right team for you, and your property depending on the location of the investment. We handle the admin so that this is seamless for you.

• what happens if i don’t like the property that you present?

  Typically, this does not happen since we spend so much time at the start of the journey developing a plan and understanding your needs and how they will fit into your property portfolio. When we create a Strategic Brief, we are extremely clear about the results and do not deliver any properties that do not fit that brief. We typically look at 60 properties before we present the ONE to you. So you can be sure, we are sure.

• who will help me/us through this process?

  You will be assigned your own client success manager who will engage with you throughout the entire process. You will also be assigned a property acquisition manager who will source the property on your behalf based on your Strategic Brief.

• everywhere has done well over the last few years, why should i work with you?

  That is a misperception. Not everywhere has done well; it is more a media story than reality. Our results have little to do with the general market increases. We get our results regardless because there is always an opportunity, irrespective of what’s happening.

• what makes you different from a buyer's agent?

  We are Property Portfolio Partners. The difference is, that a buyer’s agent is typically like a shopping service. We are here to build you a profitable, prolific portfolio, that requires extraordinary levels of research, data science, and analysis to understand every suburb in Australia.
  We provide an end-to-end solution, aggregating 40+ steps of the process when you buy an investment property into just 1 contact point. You have a whole team behind you, including a dedicated Success Manager. From signing-on to sourcing the property, settlement, and beyond.

• can i work with an agency, or is there an exclusivity clause when we work with dashdot?

  Yes, you may work with others and purchase additional properties. We only ask for exclusivity if you have enough to buy only one property so that we are all being effective with our time and efforts.

• how does dashdot make money?

  We make money by charging you a fee. There are no hidden costs or fees. We are completely transparent about our fees and do not operate with partner kickbacks or affiliate bonuses. No kickbacks and no referral fees, ever.

• do you have partners on the ground for inspections?

  We have agents on the ground who evaluate the property for you and prepare thorough reports on the property before you purchase it, so you don’t need to inspect it yourself, including building and pest inspections.

• do you consider potential insurance issues? i.e. houses in flood or fire-prone locations where insurance may be difficult to get?

  To avoid insurance issues, we review all flood zones and fire zones and do not present houses in those locations. Obtaining insurance estimates for our clients is also part of our due diligence.

• do you take into account the cost of repairs or renovations?

  We consider any minor renovations that may be required for the properties we select.

• how often do you review client portfolios and report the results to clients?

  Every six months, we conduct a review and get values for each of our clients’ properties, which we then report to them.
