Helping Defence Members on Their Property Journey

Don't waste the valuable opportunity that Defence gives you to get into the property market

As a serving Defence member, you have a great opportunity to start your property journey - be it as an owner occupier or as an investor - and the property market is one of the biggest drivers of wealth and financial security in Australia.

Once you are in the property market, you can grow a property portfolio from there or simply stay in your owner occupier home.

Importantly, this is a great opportunity to grow your property portfolio that will help you not just grow your wealth, but lead to that financial security that all people want.

We all know that serving in the ADF can take a hellish toll on our mind and body, and our focus is to help you build your financial future for a life post Defence through property and property investment.

We are especially focused on new build property, but also have a network of Buyer's Agents that can help you buy an existing location across Australia.

Defence Entitlements

We all know about or have heard something about the entitlements you can access while serving, or as a veteran across: DHOAS, HPSEA, HPAS and the First Home Owners Grant.  But it is important to understand what your goals are, how you are going to get there and what is the ideal approach available to you now.

It is important to know what your goals are so you are not throwing away good money after bad making the wrong choice on when to use your HPAS and DHOAS.

One of our favoured approaches we support our serving member clients with, is buying your own home using HPAS and DHOAS, and then converting it to an investment property when posted out, or when wanting to add another property in the next step of building your property portfolio - especially as DHOAS only requires you to occupy the property for 12 months!!!

Why We Prefer New Builds Over Existing

Everyone has their own opinion on why they choose new or existing, and our preference is often for new build properties.

For owner occupiers, one of the biggest benefits of a house and land package is the ability to secure a brand-new home designed for modern living.

New homes are often built with open floor plans, energy efficient appliances, better insulation and contemporary finishes that suit today’s families and lifestyles.

Buyers also avoid the need for expensive renovations or ongoing maintenance costs that can often come with older properties. Knowing that everything is new gives homeowners peace of mind and can reduce unexpected repair bills in the early years of ownership.

From an investor’s perspective, house and land packages can provide strong financial benefits. New properties are highly attractive to tenants because they offer modern features, lower running costs and minimal maintenance issues.

This can help investors secure quality tenants and potentially achieve stronger rental demand. Investors also benefit from depreciation advantages on brand-new homes, which can provide significant tax benefits and improve overall cash flow in the early years of ownership.

House and land packages can also provide investors with better long term growth opportunities in expanding corridors and growth suburbs.

Many new estates are positioned in areas experiencing population growth, infrastructure spending and increased demand for housing, and as these communities mature and surrounding amenities develop, property values can rise significantly over time. Investors who enter these areas early may benefit from future capital growth while holding a newer, lower maintenance asset.

From a negative gearing perspective, new build homes still attract the full rate of negative gearing!!!

At Veteran Financial Connect, we are fortunate enough to have unparalleled access to a national list of house and land packages, but also, direct developer access in some cases that allow us to help our clients secure a new build in some niche locations.
