Property investment, by the numbers. Independent research for Australian property investors.
Alyssa McAlpine Property was established to bridge the gap between complex regulatory data and everyday property investors. In an industry dominated by promotional sales funnels, developer spruikers, and marketing agencies, our objective is simple: provide plain-English explanations backed by verified empirical numbers.
We dissect how buyers agents really operate, what fees are justified, how APRA credit constraints dictate maximum borrowing power, and how tax mechanisms like negative gearing and depreciation actually balance against holding costs.
All research and articles on this platform are published under the editorial pen name Alyssa McAlpine.
We deliberately adopt an editorial pen name so the spotlight remains exclusively on the empirical data and verifiable evidence, rather than author self-promotion or personal brand celebrity. The writer is an experienced independent Australian financial and property research analyst. We do not hold a financial services licence (AFSL), credit licence (ACL), or real estate agent licence, and we do not claim credentials we do not hold.
What we offer is uncompromising research integrity: every claim links directly to its statutory or institutional source, and every guide undergoes quarterly factual audits.
Maintaining complete independence is fundamental to our readership trust:
