Housemark's Investment Services
Many people believe that the job of a Property Manager is simply to collect rent, and for a lot of agencies, this can be the case. At Housemark, we have a strong belief in providing a holistic approach when assessing and assisting our landlords with their investment portfolio.
We believe partnering with a Property Management team that focuses on additional ways to add value outside of the standard Property Management tasks can positively impact your wealth and contribute to you achieving your long-term property and financial goals.
That is why our Investment Services Department was created.
Maximising the return on your investment can look different for each and every landlord. Housemark’s Investment Services will meet with you to understand your short and long-term property objectives and goals and also complete a full review and analysis of your property portfolio.
This analysis will include any properties our Housemark team may already manage for you, any other properties sitting within your investment portfolio across Australia, any potential properties you are looking at adding to your portfolio along with your primary place of residence where applicable.
This analysis will then allow our Investment Services department to provide you with recommendations and a strategic plan and for you to increase the return on your property portfolio.

Case Studies
8 Bracknall Place, Ashgrove
Previously rented for $880 per week by a group of four tenants, the property faced recurring maintenance issues that impacted its performance. Housemark guided the landlords through a comprehensive renovation, enhancing the property’s appeal and functionality.
Once listed, the property attracted immediate attention, renting at the very first open home for $1,200 per week—a remarkable $320 weekly uplift. Not only was the rental return maximised, but the property also secured a long-term family tenant, fulfilling the landlords’ vision for tenant stability and property longevity.
At Housemark, we understand that success in property investment goes beyond rent collection. Through tailored strategies, expert market analysis, and proactive management, we help landlords achieve their property aspirations.

Ways Landlords Can Better Leverage Their Property portfolio
Ensuring weekly rents across the portfolio are achieving or exceeding market value.
Completing small- or large-scale renovations that allows you to achieve a better weekly rent long term and increase the capital value of your property.
Annually reviewing your home loan to ensure your interest rate is the most competitive in the market and the structures of your loans are set up in line with your long-term property objectives.
Accessing equity in your property to buy and add additional properties to your portfolio.
Strategically purchasing a property in line with your long-term property goals. Understanding am I buying with a focus on a certain yield %, am I buying with a focus on capital growth or a combination of both.
Purchasing a property that requires a little TLC, completing a minor or major renovation on the property then launching to the rental market and achieving a premium weekly rent or flipping the property and buy again.
Consolidating your debt with the focus of increasing your cash flow or reducing the length of the loan.
Insurance reviews to ensure the policy is comprehensive and priced fairly in the current environment.
Increasing returns through a Tax Depreciation Schedule and aligning with a quality accountant.
Completing pre-sale works or renovations to achieve the best possible sales outcome for your property if it does come to time to sell.
Ensuring that you are partnered with the best possible sales agent at the time of selling your property.
Surrounding yourself with an eco-system of professionals including Building and Pest Inspector and an Conveyancer to ensure you are well cared for as you do work through the process of buying a property or selling a property.
Housemark’s Investment Services means we can work with you to ensure all of your needs are met under one roof, stress free and that your property portfolio is set up for success.
