Your Questions, Answered

Property investment involves purchasing real estate to generate rental income and capital appreciation over time. At OliveStone Investments, we help you identify high-yield properties in emerging markets, handle the purchase process, and provide ongoing management services. Our approach focuses on buy-to-let properties and off-plan developments that offer strong rental yields (typically 8-25% ROI) and long-term capital growth potential.

Investment amounts vary depending on the property type and location. Our residential properties typically start from $55,000, while commercial opportunities begin around $110,000. We also offer off-plan developments with flexible payment plans starting from $27,500. During your consultation, we'll assess your budget and recommend suitable investment options that align with your financial capacity and goals.

Not at all! We specialize in helping first-time investors enter the property market.

The timeline depends on the property type. For ready-to-let properties, the process typically takes 4-8 weeks from initial consultation to completion.
