I was negatively geared by $10,000 dollars a month and I felt like I was drowning financially. I had a strategy session with Michael and within 11 months of working with Michael I know have a positive cash flow property portfolio earning me approximately $4,000 a month. That is a whopping $168,000 dollar turn around in just under a year.

Michael has now transacted a number of great investment properties on my behalf in Brisbane.

One evening , around 8 months ago, I headed down to my local sauna, thinking it would be a regular night , quick sauna session, in and out. I sat down, and got chatting with the lovely Michael who was also there on a regular evening. We started chatting property (one of my favourite topics)

Fast forward to today, Michael transacted my second investment property in Brisbane for me, as well as my third overseas. He also helped link me up with a great real estate agent in Melbourne, in order to sell my first investment property. He’s the man for all things property ! Michael is AMAZING at what he does. He’s very thorough with everything and doesn’t leave any questions unanswered. I have been extremely calm and positive through this entire process due to his excellent due diligence!!

Whenever I am ready for my next property investment – Michael will be the first person I call!

If one could imagine the highest standard of care, guidance, expertise and communication that you could experience when making an investment, Michael is the personification of that.

This was my first time investing off-the-plan and off market; I’d been doing some research before meeting Michael and accepted that (a) my investments would be negatively geared starting immediately and (b) capital growth would be a slow burn.

So when I had my strategy call with Michael, I was so pleased to discover that this didn’t have to be the case Michaels book is a great read.

Michael helped me choose the best apartment in Brisbane off market for my buying budget and goals, and guess what… just after a few months after securing my investment property, the apartments went to market and the same apartment as mine went up $50,000…Incredible.

It pays to work with Michael to get an off market property much cheaper before it goes to market and the Brisbane apartment market is growing at 12% plus at the moment and into the future.

As a newbie in this style of investing, I couldn’t have imagined a better (and faster) result! I’ve already recommended Michael to friends, and will definitely be working with him again as soon as I’m ready for my next property purchase!

Hi I’m Robert my wife Maree and I met Michael about 4 years ago and we did a strategy session with Michael. We wanted to double our passive income from our property portfolio. At the time of meeting Michael we owned 9 apartments with cashflow of approximately $145,000 dollars a year and we also owned our own home. All properties had a combined mortgage of $1,400,000 million dollars at approximately $9,000 a month mortgage repayments.

We sold our family home and used the surplus money to re invest into an additional 13 apartments to bring the total to 22 apartments and we have just bought a new family home only 5 minutes from my work for $1.7 million dollars. The big difference is our monthly positive cash flow of approximately $35,000 of other people’s money (OPM) is now paying off our mortgage on our home of approximately $11,000 per month. We had to pay the mortgage on our family home from our business.

We have worked with Michael Kelly and with his positive cash flow strategy he created for us we now own 23 properties worth over $10 million dollars with a positive cashflow of approximately $420,000 a year. Only $3 million of it is a mortgage from the bank. We couldn’t be happier.

We were really glad to be referred by our mortgage broker to Michael Kelly to help us deciding on our property investment purchases. Michael has a thorough knowledge of home building and apartment construction, townhouses etcand he knows who are the good developers with a proven track record and what is a good property investment both in Sydney and Queensland.

Michaels advice was spot on and we were very confident that we were on to a great investment with our property purchase working with Michael. We are looking to build a property portfolio with Michael.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael three years ago through mutual acquaintances. After thoroughly immersing myself in his book, How to Safely Own 5 Properties in 10 Years and Retire! I recognised his expertise and decided to arrange a strategy session with Michael. As a result of our strategy session, Michael has successfully acquired three, off-the-plan properties in the thriving city of Brisbane. They were all OFF MARKET properties through Michael’s many years of contacts. I am extremely satisfied with the outstanding performance of each investment and would enthusiastically endorse Michael’s commendable knowledge and guidance in wealth creation.

I was referred to Michael Kelly by my bank manager to help me with all things pertaining to real estate…What a great referral that was, Literally life changing…I had to sell my house and Michael chose a great agent to sell my property on my behalf. Michael worked with the agent to get the highest possible price and they made me an extra $400,000 on the sale. Thank you Michael.

Michael then negotiated and purchased a house for me on a large parcel of land in Agnes Water in Queensland (my dream home). Michael saved me over $100,000 on the asking price. I now live in this house and could not be happier.

I am now building an income generating property portfolio in Brisbane with Michael over the next 10 years as Brisbane real estate is booming…Michael has purchased my 1st of 5 off the plan and off market apartments which I am stoked about…For all things real estate you MUST work with Michael Kelly.  Life Changing.

Thank you so much for your help transacting an incredible “off market and off the plan” one bedroom investment property in Chermside in Brisbane for me.

It is a 50sqm internal size apartment with an 8 sqm balcony and an undercover carapace.

It was an incredible price of $397,000 (unbelievable) and the rental return will be around $475 per week when it is finished (Nov 2023). That is an incredible 6.2% rental return.

Michael you made finding the apartment so easy with your over 20 years of connections which I am truly grateful.

Your understanding of the Brisbane market and what investment property would be best for my strategy with a great purchase price and rental return was perfect.

I appreciate your expertise and patience, your insight was invaluable to me and I could not have done it without you…

I was at a crossroads of not being able to buy a reasonable property in my budget in Melbourne. Michael was referred to me by a friend. I read his book and he really made the concept of investing in Real Estate easy.

I had a strategy call with Michael and he listened and took my situation into account and made me feel at ease then he presented a strategy and a plan that suited my needs.

Mike ensured I had a plan for my future which was my greatest goal, through overwhelm I just couldn’t see it. Michael had a cracking off market off the plan apartment for me in Brisbane which matched my buying budget and he helped me purchase the property.

Michael made the whole process seamless and easy for me! I have now been informed my property is worth 10% more from when I purchased it (approx. 6 months ago).

I am forever grateful for all of Michael’s professionalism and advice, thanks so much MK I couldn’t have done it without you.

I was referred to Michael from my solicitor and we did a strategy session and it was incredible.

I followed the strategy and Michael transacted a brand new finished apartment direct from the developer in Westend Brisbane for $450,000 with rent of $475 per week which is a 5.5% rental return which you cannot get in Sydney. Michael then transacted another off then plan 1 bedroom apartment in Toowong in Brisbane for me and it settles in a couple of years time which fits perfect with my new strategy of building wealth through property. Michael I can’t thank you enough for all your help and guidance you were with me through the whole process and it was seamless…Thank you.

My dream was to acquire five houses within a decade. In 2023, upon my return to Australia and with 2 properties under my belt, I had the privilege of meeting Michael and we had an amazing strategy session. It was a delightful revelation to learn that he had written a book with the very same title as my cherished dream! It was a great read.  Michael’s unparalleled expertise and deep understanding of the Australian real estate market, coupled with his invaluable guidance, played a pivotal role in my journey to purchase property number 3 in Brisbane. I am incredibly excited for this new market and I’m pleased to share that my property is generating positive cash flow right from the start. I highly recommend you read Michael’s book and then do a strategy session with Michael. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael.

Michael transacted an amazing property for me “off market and off the plan” in Brisbane.

I wandered around aimlessly for over a year wasting weekends trying to find something suitable with zero success and I realised I had no strategy in place to build wealth with property.

I had a strategy session with Michael which was life changing and he then showed me a great 1 bed apartment “off market and off the plan” and boooom I brought it. It fitted my new strategy perfectly.

The apartment has gone up over $75,000 in under 12 months and the rental return is approximately 5.5% which is incredible. Thank you Michael your access to off market properties is incredible. I wouldn’t have purchased the property without you.

Graham Horvath Owner of the Golf Caddies App

Where do I begin. Prior to meeting with Michael, I was about to purchase an off the plan property in Sydney with a substantially lower yield than I could achieve with Michaels expertise.

Michael pointed out very reasonable concerns regarding the developer whom was yet to take part in such a scale of production, yet was completely transparent along the way and whichever choice I made was happy nonetheless.

Michael completely changed my potential of growth by working with me to create a long-term strategy which actually created the possibility of securing two properties as opposed to the one I was planning on.

The first was an off market, off the plan apartment in Brisbane and the second is a 2 bed room granny flat on my home increasing my capital gain on my own home. I have purchased the apartment in Brisbane and now I am developing the 2 bed room granny flat.

I highly recommend Michaels services to anyone who is looking to make investment moves within the real estate sector. Thank you so much for all the time you have invested in my future and I am looking very forward to doing more business alongside you Michael.

I was referred to Michael by my mortgage broker and was very grateful to have his support in purchasing my next investment property. Michael is so approachable and personable, while also being extremely professional. From the outset he really took the time to understand my goals and requirements for the purchase and he took the time to talk through and help de-scramble the many thoughts I had around the right plan for the way forward in this crazy property market.

Michael helped me to access an off-market off the plan opportunity that was perfect for what I was looking for in Brisbane. He was extremely patient with the many questions that I had along the process and did everything possible to support me from start to finish to get the answers I needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael for your next purchase. He is a pleasure to work with and really helps get the best result while also taking the pressure off what can be a very stressful process!

2 and a half years and the apartment was built I paid $799,000 and it was valued by the bank for $975,000 and the same apartment when it was built the same mine sold to the market for $1,156,000. Michael you are incredible and I can’t thank you enough….

Michael Kelly is a Stella’s buyer’s agent, he is a true professional with a down to earth manner, and is results orientated, backed up with years of knowledge in the real estate market both in Sydney and Brisbane, which is testament to his success and longevity in the industry.

I have used Michael’s services personally, and as a result have had NO hesitation in referring him to my clients, who have all been thrilled with his successful results.

We have known Michael Kelly for over 6 years now. During that time he has purchased 3 investment properties in Sydney and Brisbane for us.

Each purchase has been extremely profitable for us. Michael makes the experience of property investing easy and simple. We both highly recommend him.

Hi I’m Pam and I am a publisher and I have been based in Melbourne. Michael was fantastic he purchased a property for me that wasn’t even on the market and not only that the property in the

eastern suburbs of Sydney and it has gone up in value. I couldn’t be happier. If your time poor and live anywhere in Australia and want to get a great investment property. Get in tough with Michael.

Having the right contacts is everything when buying prestige property. Thanks to Michael we have been able to secure a $2.7 million dollar property at well below market value before it was advertised in the newspapers and on real estate websites. If you are looking to buy a multi million dollar property for you and your family, I encourage you to use Michael. They are well connected and can save you valuable time, which means we get our weekends back and they also negotiated a fantastic discount for us.

I first reached out to Michael 6 years ago now as I was looking to build a property portfolio and didn’t know where to start. I met with Michael for coffee and he suggest I build a property portfolio geared for capital growth and cash flow.

Michael purchased a 1 bedroom apartment for me, he then purchased another three properties for me which included a 1 bedder that can be converted to a 3 bedder with parking.  Michael has purchased 4 Investment properties for me and they all have performed extremely well, now all doubling and more in capital growth and the rental return now is off the charts great.

Michael brings a wealth of knowledge on property investment and I highly recommend him if you are building a property portfolio.

My wife and I were tired of searching for a property to purchase as it was very time consuming and we did not find a property that suited our needs.
We were introduced to Michael Kelly buy our Mortgage Broker and he did all the searching for us.
​
Michael quickly short listed two properties either of which we would have purchased. Michael did the calculations based on the likely returns and the property has been a very worthwhile investment. Apart from securing a property at a reasonable price, he made the purchasing process painless. Michael supervised all those who were involved in the purchase through to the completed sale.

I had been searching for a suitable investment property for over a year without success. I was referred to Michael to assist with locating a property. Michael really listened to what I was looking for and why. Michael was then able to provide a list of suitable properties which I then culled.
​
We then visited each of the properties over a number of weeks. Finally with Michael’s assistance I was able to negotiate an acceptable property which achieved our goals. At all times Michael was professional, patient, courteous and working for my interest.

If you need guidance or just don’t have the time to search for properties yourself I would highly recommend Michael.

It was no coincidence meeting Michael Kelly all the planets aligned a real “meant to be” meeting. Having never bought a property previously I really needed someone I could trust to guide me.

From the very beginning I felt Michael showed absolute integrity. He is a man of his word and someone I could trust. I bought off the plan, which meant my relationship with Michael was going to be longer than a turnkey sale. In the last two and half years Michael has been there for every question I presented, his response was always prompt, an excellent communicator.

As a first home buyer the highlight of this experience was having Michael as my buyers agent, he is nothing short of brilliant and his knowledge on property meant a very beneficial purchase for me.

Thanks Michael for everything.

Our mortgage broker referred Michael to us and it was the best thing she could have done for us. Michael was incredible as soon as we spoke with him we knew we were in the right hands.

Michael’s knowledge was incredible. He walked us through everything and checked off everything that needed to be done. He gave us the re assurance we had found a great apartment to buy.

On the day of the auction there were 9 other bidders and Michael started the auction and absolutely wiped out bidder by bidder so fast that we were the winners on the day. Michael and the valuer’s said the property is not worth more than $1,100,000 and we had a budget of $1,300,000.

We were so happy and impressed with Michael we would highly recommend Michael’s service and knowledge when buying real estate especially in the fast moving eastern suburbs of Sydney.

I met Michael at an open house, at this point I’d been searching for an apartment for about a month. We chatted about what he did for his clients and my requirements.

It was a perfect solution that I hadn’t previously considered to be an option as Michael was able to become my eyes and ears – particularly as my job commitments and hours often prevented me from attending open houses. He understood my key requirements and showed me properties that matched, while giving honest advice and guidance.

Michael took care of everything, including recommending a solicitor and strata inspector; as well as going to auction and bidding for me (a process I did not want to do and I was able to be involved in via phone from work). He blew the other bidders out of the ball park and Michael got the apartment for $90,000 less than my budget.

I couldn’t recommend Michael more.

I had the opportunity to work with Michael Kelly in 2019 when my daughter was trying to buy an apartment in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. I found Michael efficient, knowledgeable, honest and understanding. He listened to us and worked with us effectively-his quick response and timely actions and great negotiating skills enabled us to buy an amazing 2 bed 1 bath apartment in Double Bay.

We are based in Newcastle and it was great to have Michael working on our behalf in Sydney. We used the full search, locate and negotiate service. I highly recommend Michael and would be delighted to work with him again if the opportunity arose.

A developer friend of ours referred us to Michael Kelly and said Michael was the guy you need to work with as he has a large network of connections and has been buying development sites for me, for many years now.

Well our friend was right about Michael within 1 week of signing with Michael he showed us 3 homes that matched our buying brief and we fell in love with 2 of them. We dismissed one and Michael negotiated the purchase of our 4 bed 4 bath 2 car house in Bronte with amazing water views…

Michael negotiated a below market offer and a 6 month settlement and it is now worth about $1 million dollars more than what we paid for it…If your looking to buy a family home you need Michael on your side, we couldn’t have been happier with the house we purchased and the price we paid…Thank you Mike.

Michael Kelly came highly recommended and was given a challenge to find us an apartment to buy with very tight criteria in Sydney’s eastern suburbs during the two weeks we were back in Sydney late last year. We live in New York City. Michael rose to the challenge and worked with us tirelessly searching for properties off and on the market, resulting in successfully finding and negotiating the apartment that met our very strict buying criteria in the area of our choice. He has deep knowledge of the eastern suburbs property market and is very well connected.

Michael also introduced us to a property management company that we have been working with since. We highly recommend Michael if you are living overseas or in Sydney and need a professional buyers agent to search, locate and negotiate your property purchase. Thank you Michael.

Moving to Sydney for work opportunities and with no knowledge of the city and the suburbs, I initially encountered many frustrations in identifying and securing a residence. With a recommendation from a friend to speak with Michael my frustrations and fears were quickly diminished as I found the service provided by Michael Kelly was both professional and personable.
​
Michael was reliable in providing the ‘leg work’ in finding a suitable home, and also took all the stress and angst out of the whole buying process of securing a property. They negotiated the purchase of the property with a very difficult real estate agent and vendors. We will always use Michael to buy our future properties – we got the perfect house with a huge discount of $60,000. My wife and I are now very happy in our new place of residence and this is all due to the incredible service provided by Michael

Michael Kelly is a fantastic Buyer’s Agent! He listened to exactly what we were looking for and found us a great property “off market” that we never would have secured without him and his contacts. He was extremely professional and has great communication skills, keeping us informed on properties at all times.

I really appreciated his honesty and advice when considering properties, he is an extremely experienced buyers agent with such a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend his services and will continue to use him for all of our future purchases! Michael has now purchased 2 properties for our family.

Buying my first property was going to be a very difficult process as I have never done this before.
​
Michael’s negotiation service appealed to me as I felt having a property negotiator would give me the confidence and knowledge I needed to get the best possible result. Other buyers missed out on the property because of Michael’s skill in negotiating a property in high demand. I used an expert and I was the successful purchaser – simple as that!
​
Once I found the property, Michael commenced the negotiation with the agent. Michael kept me fully informed and his skills and determination saved me over $20,000.
Michael’s fees were so cost effective when you compare it to what he saved me.
​
If you are in the market to buy, I wholeheartedly recommend you use him and his company to negotiate and let the experts do their thing!

Living overseas makes it very difficult to buy real estate in Australia. We needed someone who was trustworthy and someone who would work hard for us on our side. We were recommended Michael to negotiate the property on our behalf.
​
Michael worked hard to buy it before auction, knowing the property was in demand. He came very close to buying it before auction. On auction day my sister was there and 6 other parties were bidding for this very popular home in the eastern suburbs. It was difficult to be on the phone but Michael’s expertise, experience and calmness during the auction was a great relief. This helped us win the property ahead of everyone else. Having hired a professional negotiator made us confident in an industry we knew nothing about and we felt made the purchase much easier than if we had have been on our own. This is definitely a service I would use again and recommend to others, Michael was worth every cent!

Being an expat made the process of researching and buying an investment property in Sydney very difficult. I had a reasonable knowledge of the areas I was looking
to enter, but obviously being remote (and in a time zone 10 hours away) made the task somewhat more challenging. Michael made the process significantly easier.
​
I engaged Michael to help me find, inspect, select and buy a unit and they did not disappoint. Starting with an assessment of my budget and requirements, through to researching properties prior to my arrival for a short visit, and then accompanying me on property inspections, they were professional, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable.
​
They weren’t scared to express a negative opinion about a property they didn’t like or which did not suit my investment goals. They were just as focused as me on getting the right property, not just any property.
Once Michael found the property I loved I gave him the OK and he started the negotiation process. Michael kept me fully informed throughout, and were able to assist with closing the property even though my bid was not the highest. Michael used his negotiation experience to make my offer too good for the vendor to refuse.
​
Michael managed the process every step of the way and I highly recommend Michael for anyone who is either overseas or even in Australia. A bit over 12 months later I am very satisfied with the property that I bought and believe that it will prove a sound investment even in tough economic times.

I would like to thank you for your commitment and dedication towards finding my dream home. You took the stress out of not only buying the property and dealing with the solicitors and agents but also arranged an excellent finance package suited to my needs. Your customer service goes beyond any experience I have ever had.

You kept me well informed at all times to ensure that I ended up with a beautiful home at a bargain price. Rest assured, I will be recommending you to friends and family.

Thanks again, how can I ever repay you!!

We have been buying, subdividing, building and selling real estate for 20 years now. We live up in the Hunter Valley area. We hired Michael to search, evaluate and negotiate a property for us as a family home when we were in Sydney. As Michael knows the Sydney real estate market like the back of his hand, he went in to negotiate with the real estate agent and the result was amazing, to say the least.

The negotiation took about 6 days of offers and counter offers in battle with the agent. Michael negotiated the property down from $1,350,000 to an incredible $1,175,000 saving us a whopping $175,000! If you are looking to buy a property make sure Michael is looking after your property buying needs. If you‘re not using him you’ll pay more than you have to.

Michael Kelly’s buying service is a must for people when looking to buy. Being a time-poor professional with a family, and having no time, it is very difficult to purchase a family home.

I wanted the best outcome and Michael gave me the confidence to achieve that outcome. He went above and beyond, and he achieved what I wanted and more. He managed to save me so much more than his minimal fee. I will not buy another property without Michael Kelly being involved.

Thanks again Michael, I’m glad it was you under that pressure, not me.

I had spent a good 12 months searching for a place, getting frustrated and disappointed with the whole buying process. Then life gets in the way so you stop searching. I sat with Michael and he listened to my frustrations and concerns and got me back on track. Within 10 days Michael had found the unit of my dreams. I couldn’t believe it. The asking price was out of my budget and Michael negotiated it down to a price that was in my budget. I could never have done that in a million years.
Michael also negotiated blinds for the unit for free. WOW! Michael made the buying experience so easy. They did everything for me, liaised with the mortgage broker, building and pest inspector, solicitors and they even drove the contract to me to sign at my office. I could not have done any of that that whilst holding down a very busy professional work life.
​
Without Michael I would be still searching and I would never have found such an amazing unit like Michael did for me. My friends cannot believe how amazing my unit is for the price I paid. They all say I stole it.
​
Michael lived up to his claims and certainly saved me time stress and money. I can’t wait to get home from work these days to my unit. I wish I had used Michael from the very beginning!

I had been in the market to buy my first house for over 6 months! Calling agents, turning up to inspections week in, week out, hitting the paper and knowing the Courier like the back of my hand. Going to auctions without even making a bid. What a waste of time.
​
My first call to the Michael was late one night when I was just over it. The very next morning Michael called and arranged to meet up. We chatted for about an hour and went though my criteria, all was smooth sailing. Several suggestions were made over coffee and by the end of the week the list of properties Michael had viewed on my behalf started to accumulate.
​
It only took a couple of weeks before we had narrowed down some serious potentials. With finance already approved the negotiations began. I did nothing. Michael did it all! He found the right place at the right price and no we didn’t pay the advertised price!
​
I was able to call Michael at anytime – very early, very late. Michael was on call for us.

Now we are in our new home and very happy. If only I knew about this sooner. Give it a go and enjoy your weekends…

We hired Michael to buy us a unique Prestige Apartment in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Michael was amazing within 3 weeks of sifting through property after property both on and off the market, inspection after inspection Michael found us exactly what we wanted. We fell in love with it straight away and we had to have it.

Michael underwent an extremely stressful negotiation. The owner was very emotionally attached to his home and he wanted $2,500,000 for it. After 3 weeks of negotiating Michael secured the property for us for $2,300,000. That’s an amazing saving of $200,000 dollars.

Thanks to Michael we now live in the most amazing apartment with panoramic ocean views and he did absolutely everything. We can’t thank you enough Michael.
