About Investment House

Investment House (ABN 48 083 174 458) provides a complete project management service that allows our clients to acquire select investment properties at wholesale prices.

This enables clients to either sell the project to generate an additional $50,000 p.a. in income without working any harder or build a portfolio of properties paying only wholesale prices.

The Investment House Story

In the late 1980's, Ben Healy (the founder and former Business Development Manager of Investment House) and Colin Ferguson (current Business Development Manager) were financial planners working in the investment advisory industry.

In 1991, Ben Healy founded Investment House with the objective of providing a "turnkey" service where investors could acquire quality residential investments without enduring the many hassles associated with buying real estate. It also meant clients could be confident of structuring their investment in the most appropriate manner.

The company grew quickly and by 1996 was recognised as a market leader. Turnover exceeded $10,000,000 per annum, having vertically integrated all of the major components in the residential property arena. Investment House had evolved into a "one stop shop", incorporating:

• Property research and selection services
• Home loan and investment finance services
• Residential construction services
• Property management services

In 1999, the company's thinking took on a new dimension. This change stemmed largely from a question put to a long standing client at a dinner.

The question was, "What does Investment House have to do for you to introduce us to more of your friends and colleagues?"

And the answer - "Just make my houses go up $50,000 …"

And it was a fair comment. For the six-plus years leading up to 1999, the Brisbane residential property market had seen relatively little capital growth. So the challenge was set - find a way to extract capital growth, even in a flat market.

From this point Investment House refined their approach. Two key significant enhancements were introduced:

1. Development of the Freedom Plus product, which provides clients with a novel strategy to Retire on a tax-free income years sooner than they thought possible.
2. Refinement of property selection criteria to seek out high-performance investments that could be acquired at wholesale prices

With these enhancements in place, Investment House is proud to uphold its position as a market leader. It is committed to providing massive value to clients and whole-heartedly embraces the responsibilities and challenges that accompany the privilege of being an industry leader.
