We bring the leads, the technology, the brand, the stock pipeline, and the back-office. You bring the client conversation. Together, we close.
Property investment advisory has the highest earnings ceiling in real estate — and the highest barrier to entry. Here's what stops 90% of people from making it past year two.
You can be the best advisor in Australia. If you don't have 10 qualified meetings landing in your calendar every month, the business doesn't move. Most operators burn $5K–$8K monthly on ads and still can't get the funnel to work.
From EOI to settlement is a 12-18 month coordination job — solicitors, brokers, builders, valuers, property managers. One bad handover loses you the client and the referral chain. You can't do this and sell at the same time.
Builders don't talk to new operators. Without a stock pipeline that's been pre-vetted and pre-priced, you're presenting clients overpriced retail listings — and losing on every comparison.
Spreadsheets and CoreLogic don't make you defensible. Without proprietary suburb intelligence, your recommendations look identical to every other buyer's agent — and price competition wins.
This isn't a franchise. It isn't coaching. It's a working partnership where the responsibilities are split based on who's best placed to execute them.
"Your job is to sit across from a client, build trust, and close the deal. Everything that happens before that meeting and after the EOI — that's our job."
Most BIAB and coaching programs in property are packaged by people who were sales reps inside someone else's business. That's a different skill set to actually building, scaling, and operating an end-to-end advisory firm.
Mint Invest started in 2018. No contacts, no brand, no team — just knowledge, experience, and the work. The founder went full-time in 2021 and built every part of what you see today from scratch: the tech stack, the compliance framework, the hiring and firing, the legal and insurance backbone, the marketing engine, the contracts team. The reason we know what it takes to run this business is because we've already done it. That's why we built the licence — so you don't have to.
Across every advisor who's worked at Mint Invest, the consistent long-run average has been 10 settled deals per year. Our top advisor settled 26 in a 12-month period — on an earlier, messier version of the funnel. Today's system is the upgraded version. Average advisors hit 10. Above-average advisors hit 20+ — because today's funnel signs more qualified clients, and roughly a quarter of those clients buy a second property within 12 months.
Measured across Mint's internal data from 150+ settled client deals. Past performance not a guarantee of future results.
On 12 May 2026, the Albanese Government tabled the most significant property tax reform in 25 years. The headline change matters for everyone in this category — and disproportionately benefits the work Mint Invest does.
Investors who buy established homes after 12 May 2026 won't be able to use negative gearing to offset property expenses against other income. Existing investments are grandfathered. The Treasury's stated goal: "over 80 per cent of new investor lending goes to existing homes, and we want more investment to back the construction of new supply."
Mint Invest's stock is overwhelmingly new builds through pre-vetted builder and developer relationships. Negative-gearing investors now have one tax-efficient path forward — and it leads straight to the kind of stock we already source. This isn't a marketing line. It's federal legislation working in our category's favour.

Combined income from two streams — client membership fees and settled deal commissions. The average advisor at Mint Invest takes home $165K in year one. Above-average advisors clear $370K+. Our top performer historically settled 26 deals on a worse system than we run today.
Combined take-home from client membership fees (cash within weeks) and settled deal commissions (3-6 months out). Average scenario reflects Mint's long-run advisor performance. Past results not guarantees of future performance.
10 deals per year is part-time work — and still clears $165K. 20 deals per year is around 3-4 days per week of focused effort, depending on how good you are at closing.
You can earn a strong six-figure income running this part-time. You can build a $370K+ income running it properly. But to do that, you have to get in front of mums and dads when they're not distracted by work, mortgages, kids' soccer, and life. That means evenings. That means weekends. If that's not the trade you're willing to make, this isn't the right business for you — and we'd rather you know now.
Most successful Australian SME owners are lucky if they make 10-20% pre-tax profit margin.
If you're good, and you're running at 20% pre-tax margin, then to take home $250K personally, your gross revenue needs to be around $1.25 million. That's not achievable for any solo operator without a team of 3-6 people — unless you're willing to work 70-80 hour weeks and leverage AI to the maximum. Even then, you have to build the tech infrastructure, handle compliance, manage legals, sort insurance, hire and fire, deal with people headaches.
That's the alternative path to a $250K take-home. We've built and run that business — we know exactly what it costs. The Mint Invest licence is the shortcut. Same take-home or better, none of the infrastructure burden.
Your income comes from two streams, not one. Together, they make the first 90 days viable and the year-one take-home substantial.
Every client signs a $5,500 lifetime membership. You receive your share within days of the client committing — not months. This is what funds your first 90 days while build commissions are still in the pipeline.
Typical: 2-3 client signings per month × your share of $5,500 = consistent near-term income from week 2 onward.
When clients settle on properties, you earn your share of the builder commission. For registered stock (already titled), this lands within 60-90 days. For off-the-plan, it lands at completion (12-18 months).
Typical: $17K-$21K take-home per settled deal, stacked on top of membership fees.
Combined year 1 take-home: $165K average · $374K above-average · $589K top performer. Numbers stack because both streams scale together — more signed clients means more membership fee income now AND more settled deal commissions later.
This is the annual funnel per licensee. You can see exactly where Mint's responsibility ends and yours begins.
The conversion percentages above are what our top-performing advisors achieve. Average advisors land closer to 10 settled deals per year. The difference between average and top is not luck — it's preparation, follow-up, and showing up to more meetings than the next person.
We give you genuine flexibility on how to fund your entry, because we know operators come in from different starting positions.
For licensees with working capital who want to maximise their take-home from day one.
Pay an upfront activation fee, then commission holdback replaces monthly subscription.
For our first five licensees only. Available until December 2026 or until filled.
If we deliver fewer than 8 qualified booked meetings per month over any rolling 90-day window, your subscription is paused or credited until performance returns to target. The risk on lead flow sits with us — not you.
