About the principal

Ashish Malhotra

Founder of Auswide Buyers Agency

A self-described ‘typical migrant’, Ashish Malhotra first arrived in Australia in 2014 with just a few thousand dollars in his bank account. With over 15 years of experience in management and IT within the banking and lending sectors, Ashish soon decided to pursue his deep passion for property investment.

In just over seven years, Ashish built an impressive multi-million dollar portfolio worth over $4.5 million, with more than $2.3 million in equity. His journey involved early mornings, late nights, and countless hours of research, networking, and speaking to agents—every step fueled by his trust in data and his commitment to building wealth through property

His first deal went through in 2015, followed by his second in 2016. By 2017, Ashish’s growing portfolio had caught the attention of friends and family. Eager to share his knowledge, he began helping others deploy innovative yet simple investment strategies. Although qualified as a mortgage broker, Ashish discovered that what truly aligned with his values was working for the buyer, leading him to transition into the role of a buyer’s agent.

Today, Ashish is dedicated to helping clients achieve similar success, regardless of where they are in their investment journey. Whether you’re a homebuyer, rentvestor, SMSF investor, or seasoned investor, Ashish works closely with each client to develop a tailored strategy that fits their unique needs and goals.

Outside of work, Ashish is a proud husband and father to two young boys. He values spending quality time with his family, and they share a love for tennis and cricket. A strong supporter of his local community, Ashish is also an avid runner and enjoys staying active. Known for his joking personality and his ability to put others’ needs before his own, Ashish’s greatest joy comes from seeing others smile and succeed.

Ashish’s dedication to personal growth and helping others achieve financial independence continues to drive his work. With his wealth of experience and passion for both property and people, he is committed to supporting clients on their journey toward financial success and security.

Six essential steps to a successful investment outcome
Simple, effective, and proven
We make the property buying process straightforward and transparent.

Discovering your property needs

Building a strategy

Building a tailored plan

Location and Property Discussion

Due diligence and acquisition

Post Purchase Support

We start with a 15 minute Discovery Call to understand your requirements, where you are currently at in your property journey and determine if we can support you.

Our next step is a detailed consultation, where we take the time to understand your specific requirements and preferences. We ensure that all your expectations are thoroughly captured during this call. We endeavour to understand your finances to ensure the purchase fits within your vision and goals. If you are happy to proceed, we’ll begin the Onboarding process.

We have partnered up with a forecasting software called Gameplans through which we build a tailored plan for you based on your circumstances and the stays with you for life. 

As part of this pillar, we will have an intensive consultation, analyse the input based on your goals, risk tolerance and financial capacity to customise a strategy to enable you to envision what one or more properties can do for you in the next 15-20 years.

Location, location, location…this is where we’ll discuss the next best areas that are poised for growth and provide good returns on investment. We’ll show you examples of properties researched, negotiated, and bought on behalf of our clients. Once we’ve agreed upon a region, we’ll provide you with detailed area reports. The outcome of this consultation is that we have a crystal-clear property brief so our acquisition team can begin the property search on your behalf and there is no room for ambiguity.

This is where our team takes over. Our acquisition team are busy fulfilling your property brief sourcing on- and off-market opportunities, leaving no stone unturned to ensure the property meets all necessary criteria. 

Our 24-point property evaluation checklist covers critical aspects that most people dismiss or simply are not aware of. Comparative property analysis, rental yield calculations, video inspections and detailed reports are all part of this comprehensive due diligence phase.

This is where we select top 3% properties, negotiate with the selling agent on your behalf, ensuring you get the best possible deal. We, then, guide you through the process of signing the contract and liaise with all relevant parties, especially if the property is in another state, to handle the necessary inspections and reports.

Before settlement, we’ll introduce you to a local property manager to ensure your property is managed well. The property managers working with us will perform due diligence on existing tenants and if it is a vacant possession, timely advertise the property and ensuring a pre-settlement inspection is conducted.

Let’s celebrate! You’ve now bought a property. We don’t stop supporting you once you’ve settled. We’ll remain in regular contact with you over the ownership of your property to answer any questions you have and to provide you with comparable market analysis of your property. The entire process takes about 8 to 10 weeks.
