The question we hear most

“Is now really the right time to buy?”

It is the question that comes up on almost every discovery call. This session answers it properly, with the numbers, the risks and the strategy laid out in one hour.

Why buyers are hesitating

Rate rises, falling prices and a steady stream of negative headlines make waiting feel like the safe option. But waiting has its own cost, and the headlines rarely tell you what is happening in the specific areas and property types that matter to you.

What this session covers

Abdullah and Ramzy will walk through why now could be the right time, how to buy safely and which property type fits you. Ridhwan from Hannan Accounting will then run through the numbers: entry points, funding options, tax and cash flow.

The plan

We don't just buy you a property. We map you a portfolio.

Building a second income takes time, and it starts with a strategy. On the call we map the same plan we build for every client: where you are today, the income you want at retirement, and the assets that get you there, in order.

Today

Your starting position

Your equity, your income and your timeline. Most people have more capacity than they realise, and don't know their own number.

Step 1

The first asset

A first property funded from the equity you already have, chosen to build the foundation. Then a second, funded by the equity the first one builds.

Step 2

The income pivot

A commercial asset, where the income really starts to land and the salary stops doing the heavy lifting.

The goal

A second income

A portfolio sized to produce the income you actually want, drawn from assets that keep paying after you stop working.

The plan is tailored to your life stage and income goals, on a timeline built around when you want to stop working.

Right now your equity sits there doing nothing, and the income stops the day you stop. The plan turns that equity into an income that shows up whether you work that week or not.

Illustrative only, built to each client's own numbers. Results vary.

The number that matters is the income

Not what a property is worth on paper. What it pays you, every month, whether you work that week or not.

Came to us after a commercial deal he bought on his own went backwards. Our team handled the next one.

The equity behind it: up about $750,000 in six months, the fuel for the next asset.

Peter and Leslie, the AFR factory

They sold a residential portfolio that looked impressive and bought one industrial property on a long lease.

As featured in: the Australian Financial Review, April 2025. The income did the work.

William's house with a granny flat behind it
Two rents
from one block

William, the granny-flat play

An established house with a granny flat added behind it, so the first property was positively geared in year one.

The point: the land that drives the growth, with the cash flow engineered on top.

And the capital-growth deals, the off-market buys $20k to $175k under comparable value, are not the headline. They are the equity that becomes your next deposit.

Client stories

What a second income actually buys

A lifestyle of choice. Whether you rent where you want and invest where it pays, or you are gearing up to retire and still fund the things that matter.

The multi-portfolio investor

From a loss on his own deal to a second income

Murat runs a transport business. After a commercial property he bought on his own went backwards, our team handled the next one. Six months later it was up about $750,000 and paying close to $19,000 a month, with a long-term plan for a passive income that could be his retirement.

"In the space of six months, we've got an uplift of about $750,000."

I've had an outstanding experience working with Mecca Property Group. The strategy session alone was incredibly valuable. It clearly identified the type of asset my portfolio needed based on my passive income goals and timeline. Ella, Fergus and Abdullah have been nothing but professional throughout, with detailed market insights and thorough due diligence. I was able to secure an off-market deal that also has the potential to add an extra dwelling. I've used other buyer's agents before, and the difference is remarkable.

Mecca Property Group truly lives up to the name of Buyer's Advocates, fiercely representing their clients at every stage. As a first home buyer, breaking into the market felt overwhelming and at times nearly impossible. From our very first conversation, the team provided clarity, strategy and reassurance. They were highly professional and personally invested in my future. Throughout this daunting journey I felt protected, empowered and informed at every stage. Special shout out to Hamzah, Abdullah and Carla.

Abdullah and his team are absolutely amazing! I initially thought hiring a buyers agent doesn't worth it, especially if you're not buying an investment property. I WAS WRONG! TOTALLY WORTH IT. They basically did all the heavy lifting for us. I just told them what I was looking for and my budget, and they took care of the rest. They even had access to information that no ordinary buyer could have known. We definitly saved alot more than what we paid for the service. I 100% recommend working with Abdullah and his team.

I was apprehensive with going with a buyers agent. In the past we didn't see the value in needing one as doing the research on your own seemed easy enough. Being time strapped this time round we took the risk and it has really paid off. We had the pleasure of working with Abdullah to purchase an SMSF investment property in Melbourne. The property that Abdullah secured for us was almost 10% below the market value rate and ticked all the boxes of what we asked for! Thanks to Abdullah's expertise, we secured a fantastic property at a great price.

I settled on a property in a major regional town for $450k and was able to rent it out immediately. It currently rents for $530 a week and has grown in capital growth considerably well. Unfortunately the house suffered extensive damage to the roof. He could easily have left me alone to deal with the issue. However after hearing my story he contacted me back one day out of the blue and committed to helping me with some of the repairs. This was next level. He was not a churn and burn Buyers Agent, getting a commission and moving on to the next client.

Whichever state / city you're living in AND looking at investing in, this is the team you want helping you!! My husband and I vetted 6 different buyers agents across Australia (Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide) and by far Mecca Property Group were the stand out. But best of all, Abdullah knows someone for everything! His always happy to work with your own team but also never short of a recommendation when you need one. Appreciate the laughs along the way guys.

The whole team at Mecca are outstanding at what they do. I thought it was quite difficult to buy property before this experience. They made it so easy we actually got the whole property secured whilst we were overseas. Especially buying interstate there is no way to do the research that Mecca do. Abdullah even flew to our property to get a feel for the on ground market. So fun and so enjoyable. 6 STARS.

We recently bought our first home with the support of Mecca Property Group, and the whole process was made so smooth and stress-free. As first-home buyers, we were nervous at the start, but the team made sure we were guided every step of the way. While Mecca might be a little on the pricier side, the level of service, attention to detail, and peace of mind you get is absolutely worth it. If you are making 10s of thousand back with offmarket opportunities, spending 1-1.5k is totally worth it.

My partner and I were trying to buy our first home in Melbourne while living interstate. It was an overwhelming process and impossible to inspect every property. We couldn't trust any of the realestate agents as they were clearly working for the vendors benefit. After we found the house that we wanted, that's when Abdullah stepped in with his outstanding negotiation skill. As a salesman myself, I was absolutely amazed with the way he handled the entire process. We ended up securing the property, our 'First choice property' at $10,000 below asking price.

Who we are

Built and led by Abdullah Nouh

Mecca Property Group is the independent buyers agency Abdullah Nouh has built over 19 years in property. He and the team have acquired more than $425 million across 550+ purchases for over 450+ investors, building portfolios designed to pay an income for life.

He learned the discipline the hard way. At 19 he bought his first property from an agent who, it turned out, worked for the seller. His second, in a hyped growth corridor, fell close to 40 percent. Most people would walk away from property. He rebuilt the entire approach around what went wrong, and it is exactly why Mecca is independent, buyer-side only, with no stock to sell and no developer kickbacks.

The team reads the lease, not the brochure, and screens 15,000+ suburbs down to the few that meet strict, data-led criteria. Client results have featured in the Australian Financial Review and The Age.

“Scarcity creates resilience. Supply kills it.”
