Albany Creek Owner Occupier – Plans Changed, Equity Gained
Sometimes the original plan evolves—but with the right property, you can still come out well ahead.
This Albany Creek home was purchased by a family intending to renovate over time. Once they had the funds, they realised the renovation would cost more than expected. Instead of overcapitalising, they worked with IPS Buyer’s Agents to pivot and upgrade into their next dream home in Eatons Hill.
