Wamberal NSW
$418,000 of equity, and nothing had been done to it yet
Bought off market in November 2025. The bank valued it three weeks after settlement. Nothing had been built or renovated, and the market had not moved in three weeks, so the equity was in the price paid.
The owner refinanced against the new valuation and released the equity. The block has plans drawn for two duplexes, not yet built.

Points 2, 3 and 4. Point 1 was traded away knowingly: a beachside duplex site does not come with a 5% yield, and the equity carries the holding cost until the build.
Bensville NSW
+$260,000
equity in 10 months
Off market and below market value. A second dwelling on the block would add Point 1.
Morisset NSW
+$212,000
equity in 12 months
Secured off market through the Bothsides agent network.
Toowoon Bay NSW
+$195,000
equity in 8 months
Secured off market in a tightly held coastal market. All four points present: dual income, growth, below market value and the X factor.
Morisset Park NSW
+$90,000
equity in 4 months
Two three bedroom houses on one title, so two rents from one purchase.

How these figures are measured
- Equity is the valuation minus the price paid, before stamp duty, fees and holding costs. It becomes cash only when refinanced or sold.
- Seven figures are bank valuations. Four are desktop valuations, automated estimates from RP Data, labelled that way in the table.
- Each valuation is a point in time and values move both ways after it. Four older bank valuations from 2024 are left off, taken before the market softened.
- Two of the eleven are homes to live in. All eleven are in NSW, and Bothsides also buys in QLD. Past results, not a prediction.
Reviews
In clients' own words
Shania & Mike
“My partner and I purchased our first investment property with Dan and Josh. They are both incredible, knowledgeable, communicative, and guided us through the entire process. I couldn't have done it without them.”
Peter Hinding
“I arrived in Australia from Zimbabwe with $200. My life goal was to provide my children with homes so they'd never pay rent or live under a landlord's control so I only trusted someone I knew had true integrity. Dan quietly researched the market and acquired not one but two properties within my budget, maximising both capital growth and rental return. As a first-time investor, he was literally by my side at the bank through every step. I have no hesitation recommending Bothsides to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property.”
Mikhaila
“Both Dan and Josh are responsive, knowledgeable and well connected. They helped me secure a bargain on a property. The money they saved me covered their fee three times over.”
Vic & Bronwyn
“For our property purchase they had a depth of knowledge that reflects their own professional and personal familiarity with the market. We secured an off market property at a competitive price in a tight timeframe.”

Before you book
Four questions worth asking first
The fee depends on what you are buying, so Dan quotes it on the call once he knows the brief and the asset type, and it is the same conversation whether you go ahead or not. Half is paid when you engage and half when the contract becomes final, and it covers the search however long it takes. Almost everything Bothsides buys is below market value, and that discount is what to weigh the fee against.
The buyer, and only the buyer. Bothsides acts for buyers, never vendors, and a property that does not score on the 4 Point Score is not presented. On new and off the plan stock, where a developer offers a fee, it comes off the purchase price or is refunded to the client, so the buyer is the only side paying.
The agreement runs six months and the team keeps working until the property is found, with no extra fee. Purchases take 4 to 12 weeks on average, compared with 6 to 9 months on your own, and a brief that is not getting traction is adjusted at set checkpoints.
No. Bothsides buys primarily on Australia's East Coast and services clients nationwide, and has bought as far as Perth. The current focus is the Central Coast to Newcastle and Port Stephens corridor, which is why recent results sit there.
