Subscription research tools want $200/month before they show you anything. SuburbIQ unbundles it — pay per suburb at $5 to screen widely, then run a $39 Full Opinion on the two or three that actually justify the deeper look. Hand the output to your buyer's agent so they know exactly which markets you're serious about.
Every property research SaaS charges $99–$299/month minimum. Fine if you're shortlisting 50 markets a quarter — but most investors are looking at 3–8 suburbs at any one time. You end up paying $300/month for what should cost $30. Worse, when you stop subscribing, you lose access to the data on properties you ALREADY own. SuburbIQ is one-shot per address. The PDF lives in your inbox forever — easy to share with your buyer's agent, broker, or accountant when the time comes.
Suburb Signal at $5 gives you cycle stage, demand depth, momentum score, and peer comparison against neighbouring suburbs. Run 8 markets for $40 — less than one month of a SaaS subscription, and you actually own the outputs.
Once you've narrowed to 2–3 properties, Tier 3 runs full address-level analysis: 10–15 comparable sales, demographics, school catchments, flood/bushfire overlays, cashflow, and 5-year exit projection.
Tax depreciation estimate (Div 40 + Div 43), negative-gearing cashflow at YOUR marginal rate, CGT on a future sale. All in the Full Opinion — defensible enough to hand straight to your accountant or buyer's agent.
Start here. Screen as many suburbs as you want for $5 each. When something looks real, step up to the $19 Suburb Brief or the $39 Full Opinion on the specific property.
