AHI-Australian Homebuyers International

This will conceptualise what you are trying to achieve and in which time frame. For 95% of property investors this becomes critical as it affects your exit strategy, your risk management plans and also your objective at the end of the day. Understanding the tax implications of owning property in Australia will also enhance your position as a property investor.

AHI can help in your endeavour to make wise property investment choices in Australia. We match the needs of our clients with the right investment properties that will lead to long-term wealth creation. We ensure our success, and that of our clients, by having access to experienced and reputable land and property developers all across Australia.

Buying a house and land package can be a great way of buying a home or investment property. The entry level is surprisingly low and a great deal of time and money can be saved by deciding to invest in a new-build property rather than an established one. AHI has something to suit every budget from $450,000 to $5.9 million plus. Whatever your budget happens to be, AHI can help and advise you wherever you choose to live in Australia.

House and land packages can offer outstanding value. All our property options are "Turn Key" meaning that they are 100% completed, including a designer furniture package if that is the client's choice. All you have to do is bring your personal items and your house is ready to move into or to receive tenants.

AHI has access to thousands of house and land packages Australia-wide. For clients who wish to build a more individual home, we work with some of Australia's top architects, so that the client can examine the plans, receive an itemised cost analysis, sign off, and know that the property will be ready on time and on budget.

Over several consultations, AHI provides a financial assessment, a comprehensive property plan and a property investment analysis through one of our trusted associates. We guide and educate our clients throughout the whole process from beginning to end. We help our clients with this simple 3 point process.

The understanding of how properties will affect your wealth creation ie cash-flow, vacancy, tenancy and how the mix will help you achieve a balanced portfolio is important for long-term sustainability. A sound decision can only be reached with a clear understanding of all the figures with which our clients are provided at the outset.

The majority of people live in and around Perth. The more expensive suburbs follow the coast line to take advantage of the afternoon cooling sea breezes.  Buyers who prefer acreage and big rambling country estates head inland, and those who want views from heaven head for the hills. Whatever your desire there is a Perth home to suit you.

A Dream House

The median price for Perth property is $549,000, but moving 68 kilometres south along the coast can virtually halve this price, without compromising on either quality or lifestyle. Australian building standards are among the highest in the world and strictly regulated by Government. Your Perth home will be freehold and built entirely to your specifications. All you need do is choose the land and the approximate size of your dream house. There will be no guess work, we provide the architect, the plans, we get the planning approval, you get the costs up-front, we supervise the building process, have our lawyers draw up the title deeds, and then we hand you the keys to your house.

A turn-key operation means precisely what it says. We give you the key to the finished product and you turn the lock. Then all you have to do is get the kids' in school or Uni.

Five universities, a state-wide technical and further education system, private vocational colleges and dual public and private school systems cater for more than 500 000 students each year. There are 9 500 students from overseas so if your children need a Perth home to live in, we can show you how to make it self-sufficient, so it literally pays for itself and your child's university fees.

In addition to formal courses, post-secondary and tertiary institutions provide management and workforce training tailored to meet the needs of individual employers or industry organisations. Universities regularly participate in collaborative research activities with private sector and government bodies, sharing staff, equipment and information.

Buy Perth real estate for your children and watch the capital gains follow.

Perth is closer to Singapore and Jakarta than it is to Canberra and it falls in the same time zones as economic hubs like Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur, so doing business is made easy, when you can call your office or suppliers before you have your first cup of coffee of the day.

Potential business migrants would do well to research some of the key developments in WA which include processed mineral and agricultural products which are the State's major manufacturing exports. Recent major investments have established facilities producing chemicals, mining and electronic equipment and pharmaceuticals. Research and development activities by local and international companies have produced internationally competitive innovations in engine technology, building products, reagents for bio-technology and electronics. Investment in the tourism industry is wide open.

Western Australia's shipbuilding industry has built more than 60 per cent of the nation's civil craft. It has also supplied 10 per cent of the world's lightweight passenger ferries. Local firms have adopted new designs, materials and technology to capture an important share of a growing market.

Build your Perth home and then build a business.

WA is the largest Australian State, with an area of more than 2. 5 million square kilometres, a 12,500 km coastline, spanning 2,400km from north to south with a total land area of 965,000 square miles  it occupies a third of the continent. Despite the awe-inspiring magnitude of the State, there is no tyranny of distance, because WA has the advantage of adjacency to its Asian markets. Nowhere on the continent is this statement more true than in WA – home to 270 operating mines, discretely tucked away in the outback, far, far away from your Perth home with its tranquil garden and the 25 metre swimming pool.

….and bountiful!

It's important to evaluate future prospects for any country where you are considering buying property. Ask yourself, how does the long-term outlook stack up with my investment in Perth real estate?

Extensive natural gas reserves ensure WA will be an important source of energy well into the next century. The State supplies liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Japan, and is developing markets in Taiwan and Korea.  WA is a leading supplier of many commodities including alumina, diamonds, iron ore and mineral sands including monazite and zircon.

The State also produces 70 per cent of Australia's gold and significant exports of salt, nickel, tantalum and numerous other metals.

New projects established in recent years include a silicon smelter, titanium dioxide plants and a fused alumina plant. The State is poised to supply an important share of the world market for new materials such as rare earth chemicals, fused alumina, zirconium compounds and specialty alloys. On the north-west Barrow Island, Chevron is spending $39 billion on extracting coal seam gas from Gorgon the richest field, which is destined for Asia.  Iron-ore in the Pilbara is produced by Australia for $25 a tonne which it sells to Asia for $150.

Agriculture is Western Australia's second major export industry. The State's vast area provides soils and climates suited to a variety of agricultural production from open range grazing and broad acre cereal cropping to irrigated pastures and horticulture, orchards and vineyards.

Wheat, wool, beef and lamb are its main products. Tropical and temperate horticultural products and stockfeed are also important. Farmers and investors are identifying new specialised markets in Asia and taking advantage of seasonal differences with the northern hemisphere. A diverse and efficient agriculture sector provides the raw material for a rapidly growing range of processed exports. These include wine, ice cream, barley malt, noodles and fine leather.

Seafood and Pearls

Western Australia's fisheries are major world suppliers of lobsters, prawns and pearls. A steadily growing aquaculture industry is successfully providing high value products to specialist markets.

Forests and Flowers

WA is blessed with more than 75 national parks, many with walks and bike trails. There are more than 1500 species of plants and majestic karri and marri forests, some of them up to 300 years old. A well-managed forestry industry produces hardwood and softwood timbers and woodchips from natural forests and plantations.

Sealed highways link regional centres to Perth and two national highways, one in the north and one in the south, provide for interstate traffic.

A major east-west rail line carries freight and passengers between Western Australia and other Australian States. An extensive public rail network services agriculture and industry in the State's south-west. In the north-west, private rail lines carry ore from inland mines to coastal ports. Getting around fast could not be simpler so you can buy your Perth home right on the water.

Perth's international airport handles flights servicing Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Numerous daily air services carry passengers and freight between Perth, the State's regional centres and other state capitals, especially Sydney and Melbourne.

International shipping can be accessed at Fremantle, the State's main port and eight regional ports linked to major agricultural and mineral producing areas.

A range of experiences, from wilderness adventures in the arid outback or diving on coral reefs, to fine dining in world-class restaurants or a night at a casino, attract a wide variety of visitors to Western Australia. Many of these visitors come from Asia and Europe, the remainder are domestic tourists. Interestingly, Australians are passionate punters, and they top the league in gambling losses even beating the Singaporeans into second place!  Indeed, the Australians love their casinos.

The numbers of international and interstate visitors, as tourists, students, conference delegates or business people, are projected to increase significantly over the next 5-10 years. A sound domestic tourism market underpins this growth. As much of this growth reflects the State's strengthening links with Asia, there is considerable room for specialised new services and facilities such as resorts, golf courses, hotels and conference facilities. The State encourages investment in the tourism sector.

So much to see and do!
