What are the pros of having everything with Opes?
Now, that you know the potential cons of having everything in one place, let’s look at the upsides. Here are the reasons some investors choose to keep everything with one provider.
#1 – One stop shop
The biggest advantage is simplicity.
When everything sits under one roof, you’re not juggling multiple companies that don’t talk to each other. And they’re more likely to all be on the same page.
Property investing has a lot of moving parts. Working with different people from different businesses makes you the go-between for all your advisers.
Whereas if you have a one-stop shop, those advisers work together daily. You'll get more joined-up thinking and advice.
Because even if your mortgage adviser and financial adviser are on different pages, they can talk it out. You don’t have to be in the middle of two advisers saying different things.
That’s harder when you’re working with independent businesses that don’t share the same office.
#2 – You get to use all the features in Opes+
Opes+ is a free app that helps you run cashflows on your investment properties. It also puts everything in one place, including your:
- Wealth Plan
- properties
- cashflow
- mortgage information
- property management records, and
- accounting
... all sit in one system. That means you’ve got a portal to see all your info in one place.
But you only get access to all the Opes+ features if you have all your services in one place. So if you want a simpler way to manage your portfolio, you might decide to have all your services in one place.
#3 – It’s easy to fix things when they go wrong
Let’s say you’re unhappy with your property manager at a different company. What do you do? Talk to the owner.
At Opes, that’s easy. Because if something isn’t quite right you can always contact Andrew or Ed, the hosts of the Property Academy Podcast.
Because they are the directors of Opes, it’s easy to escalate to them, or make a formal complaint.
The same owners sit across the entire group. So, escalation is straightforward and issues tend to get resolved quickly.
#4 – Everything is built for property investors
Unlike franchises or generalist firms, every Opes brand exists specifically for property investors:
- Opes Property focuses solely on finding investment properties
- Opes Property Management focuses on investment properties (not homeowners), and
- Opes Accounting specialises in property-focused accounting rather than general business work.
- Opes Mortgages mainly focuses on investors.
So while you’re using multiple services, they all operate under the same strategic umbrella.
One that's designed to support property investors rather than the broader market.
