We all know that the main objective of owning an investment property is to make a healthy, total return, but what a lot of service providers fail to appreciate is that those healthy returns depend on healthy relationships. One of the biggest contributing factors to a healthy return is rent, because it brings money in the door every month, regardless of whether the property’s value has gone up or down. So that’s where the need for good relationships kick in with your tenants, building suppliers, maintenance people…

At APF we believe our size is an advantage, we are large enough to have the appropriate infrastructure, but small enough to have a more hands-on approach to managing your property.

We also look at ways to maximise your return. Recently we doubled the annual income from a property in the CBD but were still able to keep expenses at a reasonable level due to our consistent dedication to understanding tenant relationships, balanced with our client’s expectations.
