Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about property investment, house and land packages, SMSF property, business sales and forensic accounting in Brisbane.

What is a buyer’s agent?

A buyer’s agent represents the purchaser in a property transaction. Unlike a selling agent who works for the vendor, a buyer’s agent searches, evaluates and negotiates on your behalf to secure the right property at the right price.

What does The Catalyst Group do?

We are a Brisbane-based property and business advisory firm. We help clients buy house and land packages, select investment properties, structure SMSF property purchases, sell or acquire businesses, and conduct due diligence and forensic accounting reviews.

Are house and land packages a good investment in Brisbane?

House and land packages can be a strong investment in South East Queensland growth corridors because they offer new builds, depreciation benefits, fixed-price contracts and rental demand from young families. The right package depends on location, builder quality, holding costs and rental yield.

Can I buy an investment property through my SMSF?

Yes, a self-managed super fund can purchase residential investment property using a Limited Recursion Borrowing Arrangement, provided the property meets the sole-purpose test and strict compliance rules apply.

What is a due diligence report?

A due diligence report is an independent investigation of a property or business before purchase. It identifies financial, legal and structural risks so you can negotiate from a position of knowledge.

Do you help interstate or overseas buyers?

Yes. We work with clients across Australia and overseas through virtual consultations, digital inspections and end-to-end coordination, including guidance for foreign investment rules where applicable.

How do I sell a business in Brisbane?

The process typically involves preparing financial records, obtaining a valuation, creating a confidential information memorandum, marketing discreetly to qualified buyers, and negotiating terms through to settlement with legal support.

What is forensic accounting?

Forensic accounting investigates financial records to uncover fraud, quantify losses, or resolve disputes. It is often used in legal proceedings, insurance claims and internal investigations.
