Property Investment Advocates

Your portfolio.
Built for the
whole world.

While others sell you a single property in a single city, we design diversified global portfolios — spanning Australia, Dubai, and USA — built around your life, not our inventory.

Our Philosophy

We don't sell
properties. We
build portfolios.

"Most property businesses ask: what can we sell?
We ask: what strategy does this investor need?"

The property industry is broken. Advisors push whatever earns the highest commission. Investors end up with one asset in the wrong market at the wrong time, wondering why their wealth isn't moving.

GRIT is different. We start with you — your goals, your timeline, your borrowing capacity — and build a global strategy around that. Then, and only then, do we introduce the right opportunities.

The Strategy Session

More than a meeting. A blueprint for your future.

Most property advisors show you a brochure and ask for a deposit. In a GRIT strategy session, we go deep — modelling your finances, projecting your portfolio's growth across 5, 10, and 20 years, and handing you a personalised investment report you can act on immediately.

📋
Your Financial Position

We map exactly where you stand today — so we know exactly where we can take you.

  • Total taxable income & tax paid
  • Current property portfolio review
  • Borrowing capacity analysis
  • Existing equity calculation
  • Investment objectives (short & long term)
  • Addressing fears: market risk, recession, job loss
📊
Property-by-Property Analysis

For every property in your recommended plan, we model the numbers in full detail.

  • Purchase price vs. current & projected valuation
  • Mortgage, interest rate & monthly repayments
  • Rental income (weekly & annual)
  • All outgoings: council, water, management, land tax
  • Yearly & monthly cashflow position
  • Gross & net rental yield
✏️
20-Year Growth Projections

We don't just show you where you are — we show you exactly where you're heading.

  • Projected property values at 5, 10, 15 & 20 years
  • Projected equity at each milestone
  • Projected rental income growth (compounding at 3% p.a.)
  • Projected cashflow at every time horizon
  • Capital growth modelling
  • Equity leverage plan for next acquisition
You leave with a written strategy report — not just a conversation.

Every GRIT strategy session is followed by a personalised Property Investment Strategy Report — your roadmap across a 10–15 year portfolio building journey. It covers your client profile, investment objectives, recommended portfolio strategy, implementation roadmap, and next steps with a finance specialist.

Our Founder

Navin De Silva

Founder & Managing Director

Navin De Silva is a property investor, strategist, and adviser with extensive experience across Australian and international real estate markets.

He has personally invested across the Australian, Dubai, and US markets — not as a demonstration of conviction, but because he will not recommend a market to a client that he has not been willing to enter himself.

Navin leads GRIT's strategic direction, personally conducts flagship Masterclass sessions, and remains directly involved in complex client portfolios and multi-market strategies. He splits his time between Melbourne and Dubai, with regular visits to GRIT's New York office.

“The truth will set you free.” — the phrase at the bottom of every GRIT communication. It means one thing: investors who have access to honest, complete information make better decisions.

"Working with Dannelle from GRIT was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He guided us through every step — from finding the land to building our investment property. He made what could have been overwhelming feel smooth and manageable. Couldn't be happier with the outcome."

"Over the last four years, I've had the pleasure of working with Navin and GRIT. Being outside of Australia, I've especially appreciated how approachable they've been at every step. Their rental team is second to none — GRIT's service quality is far superior to others. I wholeheartedly recommend them."

Frequently asked questions

Questions we hear every day.

We believe in radical transparency. Here are the answers to the things every investor asks before working with GRIT — no fluff, no fine print.

Still have questions? Talk to us
Yes — Dubai has one of the world's most robust property ownership frameworks for foreigners. Freehold ownership is available in designated zones, titles are registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the legal system is transparent. GRIT's on-the-ground Dubai team works exclusively with RERA-registered developers and handles the full due diligence process for every opportunity we present to clients.
No. Many GRIT clients have purchased properties in Dubai and the US entirely remotely — from Australia. Our team manages every step locally on your behalf: site visits, developer meetings, legal documentation, and settlement. We've helped investors based in Perth, Melbourne, and overseas complete international acquisitions without leaving their home city.
Membership pricing is discussed during your strategy session, as it depends on the scope of your portfolio plan and which markets you're investing in. We structure memberships to ensure they deliver meaningful value well in excess of the cost — including access to exclusive off-market opportunities, your annual portfolio review, and ongoing strategist support. We'd rather you understand the full value before quoting a number.
GRIT operates across three physical offices — Australia, Dubai, and New York — and takes a strategy-first approach: we build your portfolio plan before recommending a single property. We're more personalised, and the only advisory that can offer Australian, Dubai, and US opportunities through the same trusted relationship. We also don't believe in pressure sales tactics.
Absolutely — and many of our best clients started exactly there. Your existing property's equity is often the fastest route to your first investment. In your strategy session, we model your current borrowing capacity, calculate accessible equity, and show you exactly how to use it as a deposit for your next acquisition — without touching your day-to-day cash.
The relationship continues. Every GRIT member receives an annual portfolio review — a formal session where we assess your property's performance, update projections, and identify when you have sufficient equity to acquire your next asset. We also connect you with our property management network to ensure your investment is well-tenanted and performing. This is a long-term wealth-building partnership, not a one-time transaction.
Yes — we have a significant number of clients who are based overseas, including in Dubai, the US, and Asia, investing into Australian and global markets. Our process is designed to work entirely remotely via Zoom. Our Research and Client Support Team located globally provide support across time zones for all clients, making GRIT particularly well-suited to international investors.
It varies by market. In Australia, a house-and-land package typically takes 12–18 months from contract to settlement due to construction. Dubai off-plan properties often settle in 6–24 months depending on the developer's completion timeline. US purchases can move faster — 30–60 days for established properties. Your strategist will walk you through realistic timelines for each market in your portfolio plan.

Most property advisories operate from a single city and claim to be "global." GRIT has boots on the ground in three of the world's most significant property markets — giving our clients real relationships, real market knowledge, and real access.

🇦🇺 Australia
Founding Market

Our founding market. The GRIT Australia team has deep relationships with developers, financiers, and property managers across Australia's highest-growth suburbs — giving clients access to off-market H&L packages and investment-grade stock before it reaches the public.
