Defence Base Redevelopment
A full redevelopment of a major Defence base and training facility in the region. Construction commenced mid-2025, completion mid-2033 — eight years of federal investment, jobs and population growth locked in.
We’re not going to name it on this page. But we’ll reveal it the moment you tell us what you’re after.
Two Canberra investors just secured a fully renovated home in it for under $600,000 — tenanted immediately at $595/week, a gross yield over 5.5%. They never set foot in the place.
It’s not on a billboard. Sydney buyer’s agents are quietly flying in to buy it for their own clients — and charging $15k+ to do it. Tell us your brief and we’ll show you exactly where it is, and how we’d buy in it for you.

40+ years on the ground in the exact suburb we’ll reveal — not flying in from the city for a Saturday.
Worked the other side of the table. Knows exactly how the negotiation game is played.
No percentage of the price. You know the cost up front. No conflicts of interest.
Most of our deals never hit realestate.com.au. Direct lines to every agent in town.
Mark and Sandra had been circling a regional NSW market for months from their home in Canberra. A $650,000 SMSF budget, no boots on the ground, and no real idea where to start.
Within weeks of engaging Elliott’s, we secured them a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home for under $600,000. It was tenanted immediately at $595 a week — a gross yield over 5.5%.
They didn’t need to visit once. They just needed the right person on the ground. That’s the suburb we’ll reveal — and the exact playbook behind it — when you tell us what you’re chasing.
Reveal the Suburb
Same pre-approval, same buyer, three very different outcomes. The numbers below are April 2026 — no spin, no projection.
| Market | Median House Price | Annual Growth | Gross Yield | Vacancy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | ~$1,617,000 | ~4.0% | ~2.5% | ~2.0%+ |
| Melbourne | ~$845,000–$974,000 | −0.6% to +5.4% | ~2.8% | ~1.4% |
| The Secret Suburb | ~$750,000 | 9.2% | 4.4%+ | <0.7% |

Walk into any open home in this market and you’ll spot the interstate plates parked out front. Sydney and Melbourne metro buyer’s agents are quietly buying it up — by the street name — for their own clients.
The reason is simple: the math is undeniable.
The catch? Those metro agents charge $15k+ to buy a property they’ve never inspected, in a town they’ve never lived in. We’ve lived here 40+ years. We’ll show you the streets they don’t know exist.
Reveal the Suburb
Four infrastructure anchors that have already commenced — locking in 8+ years of construction, employment and population growth in the suburb we’ll reveal.
A full redevelopment of a major Defence base and training facility in the region. Construction commenced mid-2025, completion mid-2033 — eight years of federal investment, jobs and population growth locked in.
One of the largest health projects in regional NSW. Expanded ICU, theatres and acute services — anchoring healthcare employment for the entire region. Currently mid-build.
Critical national energy infrastructure routed through the region. Brings construction workers, employment and economic activity in for years to come.
An active, joint push from council, state and federal government to grow the area toward 100,000 residents — up from roughly 70,000 today.
Most of our clients fall into one of these three buckets. The brief might differ — the approach doesn’t.
You want yield that covers the mortgage and growth backed by real infrastructure. You need someone on the ground who knows which streets tenant in days and which off-market deals are actually deals.
Good places sell fast and you’re tired of being beaten on every offer. We strengthen your buying position, get you early access, and stop you overpaying when the emotions kick in.
Moving from Sydney, Canberra or interstate? You can’t make the open-home circuit every Saturday. We inspect, video-tour and negotiate on your behalf — just like we did for Mark & Sandra.
Born and raised in the suburb we’ll reveal. 40+ years on the ground.
Ben works exclusively for buyers and brings experience from both sides of real estate — he was a sales agent before becoming a buyer’s advocate, which means he knows exactly how the negotiation game is played.
He doesn’t need to make calls to ask if a street is good. He drives past it on the way to his kids’ school. He knows which streets get afternoon sun, which agents move stock off-market, and which pockets are about to flip from “quiet” to “hot.”
Most importantly — Ben works with a limited number of clients. Every purchase is handled properly, without chaos or guesswork.
An out-of-town investor struggled to get engagement from local agents and had no confidence about which streets were suitable for their brief.
“Ben really knows the area. He guided us on location and found exactly what we needed under budget.” C & A
After nearly 12 months trying to buy remotely from Sydney, the buyer felt helpless — missing calls from local agents, missing opportunities, and constantly second-guessing.
“After a year of trying, Ben just said ‘leave it with me’ and found the perfect place.” X
Tell us your brief, we reveal the suburb, then Ben maps out how he’d buy in it for you. We’ll tell you straight if it isn’t the right fit.
A couple of quick questions about your goal, budget and timing — and where to reach you. Takes a minute, no pressure.
You find out exactly where Mark & Sandra — and dozens of buyers like them — are getting these numbers. The secret’s out the moment you hit submit.
Ben follows up within 24 hours with how he’d buy in it for your budget and strategy. Engage if it makes sense — if not, he’ll tell you who can help.
Because a name on its own is useless — and once it’s plastered on an ad, the edge is gone. When you tell us your brief, we reveal the suburb and give you the real picture: the numbers, the streets, and how we’d actually buy in it for someone in your position. It’s revealed the second you hit submit.
It’s a genuine regional city — roughly 70,000 people and growing toward 100,000, with a university, a regional referral hospital, a major Defence base, daily flights to the capitals, full retail and hospitality. Not a one-pub town. Not a fly-in mining town. A proper economy.
Because they fly in, we don’t. Metro BAs charge premium fees to buy property they’ve never inspected, in a town they’ve never lived in, off a CoreLogic report. Ben drives these streets every day. He knows which agents are straight, which strata schemes have issues, which streets get western sun, and which off-market deals are real vs stale stock dressed up.
Yes. Sources: Cotality, PropTrack, YIP, the local council and Defence.gov.au. All figures are April 2026 data and quoted with sources on request. We don’t use marketing-speak numbers.
Most of our out-of-town clients never travel for inspections — Mark & Sandra never visited once. We do the open-home visit, video-tour the property, write a full report, organise building & pest, negotiate, exchange and manage settlement. You sign electronically.
Flat fee — no commission, no percentage, no surprises. Ben quotes once he knows your brief. Most clients save more on the negotiated price than they pay in fees.
Answer two quick questions and drop your details. The second you submit, we reveal the suburb Mark & Sandra bought in — then Ben follows up with how he’d buy in it for you.
Pick whichever feels closest — it tailors what Ben sends back.
No wrong answer — it just helps Ben prioritise.
We’ll show you the suburb on the next screen — and Ben will follow up. We won’t share your details.
That’s where Mark & Sandra picked up a renovated home under $600k at 5.5%+ yield — and where the numbers above are coming from.
Ben will be in touch within 24 hours with the suburb-by-suburb breakdown and exactly how he’d buy in it for your budget and strategy. Want a head start? Tap the chat in the corner and ask the assistant how it fits your brief.
