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.
Professional-grade property research runs $200–$750/month. 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. Screen 10 suburbs for $50 — 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.
