With over 100 years of combined experience in property investment, The Cameron Bird Group knows the benefits of investing in properties that are cash flow positive or cash flow neutral and have scope for good capital gains.

We have been around for 30 years and we are here to stay. Our company was established by David Bird; he recognised that traditional real estate agents were unsuited to helping investors find the best investment properties as those agents do not truly understand the financial aspects of investing.

WHY CASH FLOW POSITIVE?
Quite simply, if you buy a cash flow positive property you have more money in your pocket at the end of each financial year than you would have if you hadn't bought the property. This is because the rental income, when combined with the tax refund that you get on certain properties (if you are a taxpayer) exceeds all expenses, even including interest on the entire purchase and all the acquisition costs.

WHY CASH FLOW POSITIVE and CAPITAL GAINS?
As far as we are concerned, buying a cash flow positive property isn't enough. The property must also have scope for capital gain. For example, you might make $1000 a year in positive cash flow on a particular property. However, this is not going to help you achieve your wealth creation and early retirement goals. But if this property doubles in value in 10 years, it will. Particularly, if like many of our clients, you manage to accumulate five to 10 such properties or more.

A property with scope for capital gain must be in a unique location, rents must increase faster than inflation, strong capital gain factors must be present and it must be dripping in depreciation allowances.

BEST INVESTMENT PROPERTIES WE CAN FIND
Let's face it; it is getting more difficult to find property investments that are not negative in cash flow (negatively geared). The good news is that they still exist and The Cameron Bird Group knows how to find them.

As property investment consultants, our role is to source the best possible investment properties we can find in locations around Australia. In other words, we can be your eyes and ears when searching for good investment property.

We thoroughly research our markets - we travel, we consult, we analyse and we draw on our experience as we forecast. We also have established long-term relationships with property developers who can consistently provide us with the stock we are looking for.

We have extensive contacts in the industry. Usually the properties we list are not available elsewhere in the marketplace. You can only find them through us.

We obtain valuations from bank valuers, depreciation schedules, body corporate details, income streams, local council statistics and then we build a financial model which we can tailor to each investor's individual circumstances.

As you might expect, with such tough criteria we rule out about 95% of the properties we inspect. It's only after we are satisfied that a property's cash flow is good, there is potential for solid capital gain and it is not over-priced that we then package it up for presentation to you, our investors.

We then alert our clients and subscribers to a property using our free email Property Alert. We highlight the details of our proposed recommendation, the reasons why we recommend it, the cash flows, the bottom line and generally all information an investor would need to make an informed decision.

The good news is you don't have to pay for our services; they are totally free as the vendors pay our fees.

HERE TO SUPPORT AND ASSIST
We tend to be rather conservative in our thinking and consequently we offer the opportunity for a face-to-face meeting to all of our potential investors before recommending a particular investment strategy or property. We conduct regular one-on-one meetings in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and in other states as needed.

However, we will never pressure you. We leave it entirely up to you whether you want to request further details from us. Our mortgage brokers and financial advisers are available if you need them, but again, there will never be any pressure from us to use them.

We now have a huge following of investors accumulating property portfolios to compliment their superannuation savings in retirement. Contact us to join our list.
