Max & Sally are $554,000 ahead of their own wealth plan. In Year 2.
Max and Sally are dual income professionals with a combined household income of over $308,000. They came to Ramsey Property Wealth with a primary residence in South-East Queensland, no investment portfolio, and a 10-year wealth target of $4.2M+ in net property wealth.
The plan came first. The properties came second.
The Starting Position
The couple held a strong primary residence in SE QLD - purchased at $1,120,000. They had equity, superannuation on track, and a clear wealth-building intent. What they didn't have was a structured, benchmarked plan to deploy that equity - or a Senior team to execute it across strategy, lending, and acquisitions under one roof.
That is what our 10 year Property Portfolio Program delivered.
The Execution
Through the Ramsey Advantage® - a 118-day structured journey from financial modelling to settlement - the team built a property portfolio plan with published benchmarks before a single property was selected. Debt architecture was modelled first. The equity release from the primary residence was structured to fund the first acquisition without drawing on savings.
The four execution pillars:
- Debt architecture modelled and equity released prior to property selection
- Buyers agent secured a property at $41,150 below the portfolio-modelled acquisition cost
- High-growth corridor targeting WA, a 16.7% suburb growth and a new build positioned below suburb median
- Through their financial Advisor, superannuation was tracked alongside property - one integrated plan, not fragmented advice
Measured Results - The Year 2 Benchmark
Every result below is measured against the published portfolio plan targets set at their Ramsey program commencement.
- Primary residence: $1,533,500 - 12.6% CAGR vs the 4.0% target. $290,683 above plan.
- WA property was purchased at $579,850, valued at $774,000 at practical completion - 33.5% above purchase price, $153,000 above our portfolio-modelled cost
- Rental secured at $650/week - 5.83% yield on purchase, 9% above the program-proposed rate
- Gross portfolio value: $2,307,500 which was $447,500 ahead of plan
- Total positive variance against program targets: +$554,000
- Usable equity available now for their current acquisition in 2026: $494,745 at 80% LVR
Why This Result Was Produced
The portfolio is not outperforming because the market got 'lucky'. It is outperforming because the strategy was modelled before the market moved.
The primary residence growth rate exceeded the portfolio program assumption by 8.6 percentage points. That outperformance was captured because the equity was structured for deployment - not left sitting. The WA acquisition was sourced below modelled cost in a suburb running at 16.7% annual growth, with a rental yield 9% above the proposed rate. Superannuation for both members is running ahead of the 5.34% planned benchmark because it was tracked from day one alongside the property plan.
This is what one team, one plan, and published benchmarks produce for astute investors seeking a competitive advantage.
What Comes Next
$494,745 is available at 80% LVR from the primary residence - sufficient to fund the deposit and acquisition costs on a $550K
established property without drawing on the clients savings. The 3-year base case projects a gross portfolio value of $3.39M. The 10-year
portfolio plan target of $4.2M+ net property wealth remains on track.
Ramsey Property Wealth have $579+ in client property portfolios under management and scaling.
