The expert approach to property investing
At PIA, we believe the most successful property investors have five characteristics in common:
- Quality market information
- The ability to control their running costs
- The capacity to take advantage of opportunities before others can
- The patience to invest for the long term, and
- A willingness to take a calculated risk.
Our PIA Investor program helps you master each of these building blocks for success. That way you’ll have the opportunity to invest like an expert, no matter whether you're buying your first investment property or your fifteenth.

The confidence that comes with purchasing a new property
PIA specialises in off-the-plan and new properties, providing investors with the certainty of knowing they won’t have to spend anything upfront on repairs or maintenance. That’s particularly important in today’s property market, where the high cost of entry means outgoings usually need to be kept to a minimum.
Newer properties also tend to require less general maintenance and are more likely to attract quality tenants, especially when they’re fitted out to a high standard. That’s why we use our bargaining power with developers to ensure our properties come with brand new top-line appliances, typically including stone benchtops, a dishwasher and clothes dryers.
We rigorously inspect each property we sell or manage to minimise risk and eliminate the potential for defects.
We also make sure each PIA apartment comes with quality and durable fittings and finishings so potential repairs are reduced and you won’t be out of pocket unnecessarily. Our properties include as standard - blinds, floor coverings and clothes dryers - enabling our investors to rent out their properties quickly, minimising vacancies.
The power to maximise your return
We believe your investment property should always be providing certain income. That’s why we offer the certainty of a 5.5% fixed rate management fee3 including GST,and offer Rental Guarantee on the majority of properties we sell.
Predicting your weekly rent and outgoings has never been easier! 
Our flat fee covers all standard on-line advertising, routine and open inspections, client portal access and financial statements. It also includes coordinating maintenance on your property.
Because any property vacancy also tends to mean less money in your pocket, our aim is to find quality tenants faster. That’s why our open inspections last a full hour, instead of the industry standard 15 minutes.
Our team of 50 property managers and leasing experts works seven days a week, and taps into a database of more than 45,000 potential tenants, just to make sure your property always has the best chance of being leased.
- 97.51% occupancy rate
- Faster leasing/7 days per week leasing
- PIA’s 3-year Rental Guarantee
- 24/7 client portal access
Invest with confidence in Sydney’s residential property market
Keep any cashflow concerns to a minimum when you invest through PIA.
We know that one of the biggest challenges for new investors is covering their mortgage as soon as they take ownership of the property. To avoid any shortfall, you usually need tenants in the property and paying rent from day one.
That’s why PIA’s 3-year Fixed Weekly Rental Guarantee4 comes as standard with every purchase.
The Rental Guarantee provides you with a guaranteed uninterrupted rental return for three years after you purchase. That means you’ll know what’s coming in each month, even if your property remains vacant for a period of time.
We also only offer quality projects in areas of the Sydney metropolitan area with rising demand and capital growth potential. That’s part of the reason our vacancy rate is so low across the 6,000 properties we manage.
Support and systems designed for success
Every PIA investor enjoys exclusive access to monthly educational seminars and workshops that teach the skills and knowledge needed to build a property portfolio and achieve financial freedom.
Our online PIA client portal also lets you access all your important property information anytime 24/7. This includes all your statements, expenses, cash flow, rental income and condition reports, as well as view new properties available for investment.
Finally, our settlements team are on hand to guide you through each step of the settlement process. Once completed or ready for tenancy, our property managers are on hand to answer your questions and help you manage your asset for maximum return.
When you invest through PIA, you can be confident you’ll have everything you need to stay on top of your investment and start building real wealth.
Maximise your property portfolio with PIA
Building a property portfolio that will lead to lasting wealth is easier than you might think.
It begins with setting and timing your financial goals, understanding your 
borrowing power and then patiently building your investments, step-by-step. PIA can guide you on how to do this, supporting you on every step of your journey.
We’ll show you the type of property that best suits your next investment move, whether that’s long-term capital growth, short-term rental yield, or anywhere in between. We’ll help you pinpoint properties that match this profile to maximise your investment returns. And, we’ll guide you through each step from signing your contract to settlement and onto securing the right tenants.
Through our industry-leading Buy & Rent model, we can show you how an investment property worth $650,000 could be yours for as little as $76 a week if you earn $80,000 a year5. And we can also show you how to leverage any capital growth to fund your next property so that you grow a diverse and successful property portfolio sooner.
Whether you own fifteen investment properties already or you’re just buying your first, PIA can provide you with the experience, advice and resources to help you get to where you want to be.
