Australia · Dubai · United States
Since 2018 across three markets
One portfolio. Double the return.
No pitch · No obligation
Built for Three Types of Investor.
Whether you are an Australian living in the US, an international investor seeking global diversification, or a US-based investor looking beyond the domestic market — GRIT has a strategy for your position.
Australian Expats in the US
You built a career in America. Meanwhile, Australian property vacancy hit record lows and rents grew 10% last year. Your buying power is stronger than you think — and we handle everything from here.
- Non-resident finance arranged for Australian new builds
- Property placed, tenanted, and managed in Australia
- Full tax advice coordination for Australian-income expats
- Portfolio reviews accounting for your US income position
- US income property via DSCR — no US credit history required
International Investors
Looking beyond US equities and domestic real estate. Australian and Dubai property offer fundamentals that US investors rarely have access to — high yield, strong capital growth, and a stable legal framework.
- Australian new build acquisition for non-residents
- Dubai off-plan and completed apartment access
- 10% guaranteed return structures in Dubai
- FIRB compliance guidance for non-Australian buyers
- Full portfolio strategy — not just a single transaction
US Investors — Global Diversification
US real estate is expensive, competitive, and correlated. Australian and Dubai property offer uncorrelated returns, different currency exposure, and fundamentally different supply-demand dynamics.
- Australian residential growth corridor new builds
- Dubai off-plan with 10% guaranteed annual return
- Currency diversification — AUD and AED exposure
- Full acquisition and management handled remotely
- Access to markets with 1% vacancy and 10% rent growth
The Three-Market Formula.
Three markets. Three completely different jobs. One portfolio that makes them work together. The same $1.5M generates twice the return when allocated across all three.
The Equity Engine
A new build house and land package in Melbourne or Brisbane. Full negative gearing against salary. 50% CGT discount on exit. The long-run foundation that builds equity and captures Australia's sustained population-driven growth.
The Cashflow Layer
A completed, tenanted Dubai apartment with a 10% guaranteed annual return. Net yield after Australian tax: 5.8%. The income from this property goes directly onto your Australian mortgage — paying it off years ahead of schedule.
The USD Income Leg
A US income property in Dallas, Nashville, or Jacksonville — financed via DSCR on the rental income of the property itself. No US credit history required. Monthly income in US dollars. Real currency diversification.
Same $1.5M Capital · Same Investor · Same Tax Rate
Same capital. Same investor. Across three markets — double the annual return. This is the formula GRIT has been building for investors since 2018.

Why Investors Choose GRIT.
We are not a property portal. We are not a listing agency. We are a strategy-first advisory firm that has been building global portfolios for investors since 2018.
We invest in property ourselves.
Our founder owns 31 investment properties across Australia, Dubai, and the United States. When we advise you, we draw on direct experience across every market we recommend — not a training manual or a third-party research report.
Strategy first. No listing pressure.
We do not make money by pushing you into a specific property. We make money when the strategy is right and you come back for the next acquisition. Every recommendation starts from your position, your goals, and your tax situation.
We handle the full process across borders.
Non-resident finance, FIRB compliance, legal structures, settlement, tenant placement, property management, resale. Whether you are buying in Australia from New York, or in Dubai from Melbourne, we handle every step without requiring you to travel.
One relationship. Three markets.
You do not need three different advisers in three different countries. GRIT operates across Australia, Dubai, and the United States. Your portfolio strategy is built and managed from a single relationship — with full visibility across all three positions.
We know what you are dealing with in the US.
We have operated from New York and we know the US investor landscape firsthand. We understand what it costs to live there, what it means to earn in USD and invest in AUD, and the practical barriers Australians face when trying to buy back home or access US income property. We have lived and worked through this -- and built the process around it.
A billion dollars in proof.
Over $1 billion transacted. Over 1,000 investors served across three global markets in eight years. The strategy works — and the track record speaks to that in a way that any prospectus or pitch deck cannot.

"I had been in New York for four years and kept saying I'd buy in Australia when the market settled. GRIT showed me the numbers — vacancy, yield, growth — and I realised I was waiting for a perfect moment that was never coming. Bought in Melbourne within three months. Tenanted immediately."
"The Dubai strategy was the piece I didn't expect. My income is in AUD but my Dubai apartment is generating net $1,800 a month that goes straight onto my home loan. GRIT called it the mortgage payoff strategy. It's working exactly as they said it would."
"What sets GRIT apart is they actually understand the full picture. They know Australian tax law, how Dubai income works for Australians, and how DSCR financing works in the US. Nobody else I spoke to could connect all three. That's the GRIT difference."
