Strategy Builder

Turn your Budget Coach snapshot into clear buying guardrails before you look at specific properties. General education only.

Why this step matters
Strategy Builder turns household capacity into guardrails: target income, time horizon, price band, cadence, yield, and review flags. That keeps the next property screen anchored to your plan instead of a random deal.
Start with the goal and Budget Coach snapshot below. If a value is uncertain, mark it for review rather than hiding the assumption.
Guided handoff
Each step saves the assumptions the next step needs, so you can keep moving without re-entering the same facts.

Educational planning only. Keep assumptions visible and get professional advice before acting.
Goal setup
Set the income target, planning horizon, tax basis, and scenario profile before modelling guardrails.
Incomplete draft

Finish these fields before continuing: Target passive income per year, Modelled year / time horizon, Tax basis

Budget Coach snapshot
Bring forward surplus, savings, deposit velocity, and readiness so the strategy does not drift from the household budget.

Understanding Required net yield

Definition: Required net yield is an educational scenario input used to test whether a portfolio pathway is plausible, not a forecast or recommendation. Calculation/use: it can affect acquisition cadence, modelled value, leverage, sell/keep outcomes, debt payoff, and passive-income comparisons. Common pitfalls: treating growth, yield, lending, tax, or sale assumptions as guaranteed; hiding missing Budget handoff evidence; or using a sell/keep hypothesis as advice. Review questions: ask a broker about lending/equity assumptions and an accountant about CGT, ownership, entity, and sale-timing assumptions before acting. Current local context: target missing, modelled year missing, validation incomplete, passive-income result $48,023, target gap -$48,023, budget snapshot missing.

I can’t answer that as personal regulated advice

I can explain the module mechanics in general terms, but that would be regulated advice here: I can’t tell you whether to buy or sell a specific asset, choose a loan/product, rely on lending approval/capacity, claim tax/depreciation/CGT treatment, use an ownership/legal structure, or make a property-specific investment decision. Route this to an accountant for tax, CGT, deductibility, entity, ownership, or sale-timing questions. Local context only: target missing, modelled year missing, validation incomplete, passive-income result $48,023, target gap -$48,023, budget snapshot missing.
