BUYERS AGENT: LET EMPIRE BUILD YOUR FUTURE IN PROPERTY
Empire is a specialist property investment consultancy that manages property and clients nationally. Empire was founded by Chris Gray, host of Your Property Empire on Sky News Business Channel, property expert on Channel 9′s MyHome show and Financial Expert on Channel 10s The Renovators. Chris proves the Empire strategy works, having retired from full time work at the age of 31. At Empire we strongly believe property investment is not just for the wealthy – just for those who want to be.
Our flexible three stage service lets you choose exactly the kind of help you need
PURCHASING PROPERTY
Whether it’s a bigger family home or your first investment unit, Empire can help you locate, negotiate and even fund your next property purchase, saving you time, money and heartache.
How do you stop the traditional renovation cost blowout? Maximise the increase in value? Minimise lost rent through extended vacancy? Empire knows all the answers.
Managing your own investment seems like a good, money-saving idea, until you’re stuck up a ladder in the dark trying to fix a leak because the tenant from hell insists it’s an ‘emergency’.
In 2010 we bought 75 properties and spent over $3.5M on renovations That’s the equivalent of a typical 2 bedroom unit makeover of $65k every week.
In 2012 we’ll oversee around $10m.

IS EMPIRE RIGHT FOR YOU? ASK YOURSELF THESE SIX QUESTIONS
1. AM I TOO BUSY EARNING AN INCOME TO MAKE MONEY?
TELL ME MORE
Many people spend their working lives trying to increase their income. But as everyone really knows, it’s not what you earn – it’s what you do with your money that counts. However not everyone has the time, knowledge or motivation to put their money to work properly. So they just put themselves to work instead. If that sounds like your situation, you probably could use some help. As our name suggests, Empire is not just about helping you buy a single investment property. With our guidance you’ll build a Personal Property Portfolio that one day could replace your need to earn an income altogether.
2. I’M NOT RICH, HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BUILD A PORTFOLIO OF PROPERTIES?
TELL ME MORE
The fact is you don’t need to be a millionaire to benefit from Empire’s help. A planned portfolio of six, seven, even a dozen properties or more is within the reach of most reasonably well-paid people. The mechanics of the portfolio work because each property is gradually rising in value and in each one is a tenant, paying you an income.
3. WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM TO BUY ALL THESE PROPERTIES?
TELL ME MORE
Having an Empire Personal Property Portfolio requires most people to rethink their attitude to finance. Once your Portfolio is set up, the idea is it pays for itself. Three main rules apply to this – you may find these challenging to begin with but the financial logic is quite clear:
Managed responsibly, portfolio debt is good and more debt is better.
There’s no need to clear your Portfolio debt so long as you have the cash flow to support it.
There’s no need to sell your Portfolio properties, unless of course you want to.
4. AM I GOING TO HAVE TO WORK FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE TO PAY OFF MY DEBTS?
TELL ME MORE
As people get better paid, they adjust their lifestyles accordingly. A bigger house, a nicer car, a better bottle of wine, but there’s little left over for the longer term. And there’s that nagging feeling you’ve limited time to achieve investment success if you want to enjoy it too. Empire gets your assets working, so you don’t have to. A Personal Property Portfolio is an asset that creates future wealth. You need this asset because you yourself can only work so many hours. So your income, however high, is ultimately limited. But the income your assets can earn is not limited and unlike you, your assets work 24/7 – while you sleep, take a holiday, or play golf. Your asset growth outstrips your debt growth, so managing your debt is really only a matter of cashflow. Real wealth is about assets, not income. That’s why the majority of the BRW Rich List holds their wealth in property – they know a thing or two about money.
5. AM I GOING TO HAVE TO SACRIFICE MY CURRENT LIFESTYLE?
TELL ME MORE
Many people believe property investment means enduring years of austerity to be able to live better sometime in the future. That doesn’t have to be the case. Empire will show you it’s your dormant property equity that does the real work, equity that otherwise provides you no immediate return. If your desire is to build an independent future without foregoing life’s little luxuries today, let’s talk about making it happen.
6. I HAVE TROUBLE MANAGING MY MONTHLY BUDGET, HOW CAN I POSSIBLY MANAGE A PROPERTY PORTFOLIO?
TELL ME MORE
Empire is dedicated solely to building Personal Property Portfolios on behalf of clients without the time, skills or inclination to do it for themselves. We’re not financial planners, home loan lenders, real estate agents or in any other business. We operate an ‘end to end’ service that takes care of everything for you – from developing an overall strategy, finding, valuing and inspecting properties, raising finance, negotiating the purchase, managing any renovation works and securing tenants. To make all this happen, we’ll assemble and manage a team of experts according to your needs. This team may include a valuer, property inspector, strata title specialist, renovation crew and other professionals. We also use high quality market information from companies such as Residex to validate our plans. You don’t need to be hands on at all, in fact you never even need to see your investment properties if you don’t want to.
