Numbers, Not Promises

No BS, just data, facts and deals. Below are real outcomes Baumann Property has engineered for investors, plus an illustrative growth play so you can see how the strategy travels. Where a deal is a client's, the figures are as reported by them. Where it's an example, it's clearly marked illustrative. None of it is a forecast or a guarantee.

Juan Corredor · Rockhampton, QLD

Near retirement, on his third investment property, and burnt out from chasing the "hot" suburbs everyone talks about. Baumann put the plan on paper around his real numbers, then found him an off-market house that fit. Here's the deal, and his words.

How The Deal Happened

From criteria to keys, in six weeks

No guessing, no bidding war. Here's the order Juan's deal actually moved in.

1
Step 1 · Strategy on paper
Realistic growth, realistic costs, realistic challenges, all mapped to Juan's retirement and his real budget before anyone looked at a single listing. Criteria locked
2
Step 2 · Off-market found
Christian sourced a house off-market in Wandal, Rockhampton, 500m from the hospital, a kilometre from the airport. No one else was bidding on it. No competition
3
Step 3 · Negotiated
"We didn't have to compete with anyone." A favourable price, agreed off-market, instead of watching the number climb the way Juan had seen listings run $80k to $100k over ask. Price agreed
4
Step 4 · Secured at $600k
Settled at $600,000, a 3 bed established house on ~540m² in a Central QLD growth corridor, and rented within days of settlement. Settled & rented
5
Step 5 · +$27k in six weeks
On realestate.com it's already up $27,000, and "it already paid the stamp duty and the lawyer." Figures as told by Juan; illustrative, not a forecast.

Why "off-market" did the heavy lifting

"We didn't have to compete with anyone, because Christian found us the property off-market. They have access to those deals, so you're not bidding against other people and watching the price climb." Earlier, Juan watched a Melbourne listing run almost $100k over ask, and another $80k to $90k. That is the gap an off-market deal closes.

More From The Book

A Verified Deal, and Where The Strategy Travels

The same data-led approach, two more ways. One is a real listed acquisition. The other is an illustrative example to show how the method reads in a different market, clearly marked, and not a client result.

Another established house in the Rockhampton corridor, bought below the noise and rented promptly. It is the unglamorous, cash-flow-first kind of buy the data keeps pointing back to.

  • StrategyBuy below replacement cost

An example of the kind of play the strategy points to in a metro growth corridor: an established house on workable land, near jobs and infrastructure, bought where prices still sit below replacement cost. The figures here are made up to illustrate the thinking, not a deal we've done.

Illustrative only. Numbers are hypothetical, not a forecast, a recommendation, or a guarantee.

Comparing markets honestly is the whole point. As Juan put it: "we weren't comparing apples with apples", because Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth are totally different conditions. The job is to put the right options, under your budget, side by side on the same page.

What's Repeatable

The Method, Not The Miracle

No single result is a promise. Markets move, and that's outside anyone's control. What carries from deal to deal is how they're chosen.

Strategy on paper first

Realistic growth, realistic costs, realistic challenges, all mapped to your retirement and your actual numbers before anyone looks at a listing.

Off-market sourcing

Access to deals you won't see online means no bidding war, and a favourable price, the way Juan got his.

Skin in the game

The buyer's agency service is money-back, no questions, no BS, and the payment structure ties our fee to your property actually performing.
