Linda works with clients considering their first rental property and with those looking at adding to what they already own. Her focus is on making sure people understand their own position before anything else gets discussed, starting with income, lending capacity and the ongoing costs of holding a property.

Her approach to the conversation is measured. Rather than moving quickly to options, Linda sets out how each part works and what it means in practice, so clients can weigh things up properly rather than relying on someone else's summary.

She is also clear when the answer is not yet. Property is a long-term commitment and the numbers need to hold up in the quiet years as well as the good ones. Linda's role is to give clients the detail to make their own decision, and to be available for the questions that come afterwards.
