Kris & Christina’s Success Story: Accelerating Superannuation with Lifestyle-Focused SMSF Purchase in Perth
At start2invest, we’re passionate about helping everyday Australians build long-term wealth through property — and that includes guiding clients to make strategic, confident decisions within their Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs).
Kris and Christina, a professional couple from Sydney, were one of our very first clients. They trusted us early in our journey to help them navigate their SMSF investment strategy, and their story reflects the power of smart advice, long-term planning, and the right property in the right location.
A Clear Vision, Backed by Strategy
Kris and Christina already owned their family home and an investment property in New South Wales. Ready to take the next step, they wanted to diversify into a new market and make their superannuation work harder by acquiring a quality SMSF-compliant investment.
Why We Chose Perth
We identified Perth as the ideal fit for their goals. It offered exceptional value, robust economic fundamentals, and long-term upside driven by:
A strong and growing economy, diversified across healthcare, tourism, manufacturing, defence, and mining
Over $10 billion in government investment, including significant funding for Australia’s national nuclear submarine maintenance program based in Perth
Continued expansion of WA’s lithium mining and processing industry, positioning Perth as a global hub for clean energy supply chains
A family-oriented demographic with strong first-home buyer demand and consistent rental demand
Exceptional lifestyle appeal, with proximity to beaches, national parks, and outdoor living that attracts long-term tenants
Just as importantly, Perth offered strong rental returns for established investment properties. This helped increase the cash flow on Kris and Christina’s investment, meaning their SMSF property required lower out-of-pocket contributions — significantly reducing annual holding costs while still delivering strong long-term capital growth upside.
Securing the Right Property in Perth
Following a comprehensive strategy session and development of an agreed client brief, we sourced a standout opportunity: a freestanding 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a spacious 633m² block, located just 10 minutes from the beach, quality schools, shopping centres, healthcare, and key employment precincts.
