Deussen PropertyApply to Work With Me
FAQ

Good questions, honest answers.

Everything you need to know about working with me, the free course, and getting started.

General

What is Deussen Property?

A personal brand combining a buyers agency and free property investing education, built by Blake Deussen a former police officer who built a $10M+ portfolio.

Can I still work with you if I'm not a police officer?

Yes. I work with people from many different occupations, and every client receives the exact same level of service.

Do you charge for initial conversations?

No. Initial conversations are free and no-obligation it's a chance to see if we're a good fit.

Where are you based?

Adelaide, South Australia but I source and negotiate properties Australia-wide.

Buyers Agency

What exactly does a buyers agent do?

I research, shortlist, inspect, negotiate and secure investment-grade properties on your behalf handling the process end-to-end.

How much does it cost to work with you?

Fees are discussed upfront during your strategy call and tailored to your situation, no surprises.

Do you only work with high income earners?

No, I work with everyday professionals at all stages of their investing journey.

Can I invest in property while I'm still serving?

Yes. Property investment isn't a conflict of interest under standard police conduct policy, but secondary employment and business interests can be property investing as an individual typically isn't classified that way. I'll always point you to your own department's policy to confirm, but this is territory I know well from personal experience.

What if I already own a property?

Even better we build a strategy around growing your existing portfolio, not just your first purchase.

What if I can't get a tenant in there to pay me rent?

All of my purchase locations have extremely tight vacancy rates, meaning strong rental demand. I am yet to have a property that isn't tenanted within the first 4 weeks.

How do you get properties at a discount and under market value?

Sometimes my deals are off-market, meaning I don't have the normal competition due to me having strong relationships with local real estate agents in our target areas. I also have years in negotiation experience and am very aware what each property is worth due to data / comparable sale analysis.

How do I know if the property I'm buying is a good buy?

I have a 39 point checklist that every property has to go through for me to even begin negotiating with the agent, this risk mitigates every purchase and I am focusing on data, not emotion.

If the property I buy is interstate, how does that work if I'm not there?

We are busy people with our own lives, families, shift work, managing and dealing with your property probably isn't the best use of your time. Using a property manager is the best thing an investor can do. Their full time job is to look after, care for, and manage your property for you, and it's for a very small fee (which comes out of your rental income anyway). Leave everything to the professionals.

Free Course

Is the course really free?

Yes. "Police Officer to $10 Million" is a genuinely free 33-lesson course, no catch.

How long does the course take?

It's self-paced most people work through the 33 lessons in around 4-6 hours total.

Do I need experience?

No. It's built for complete beginners through to those looking to scale an existing portfolio.

What happens after I finish?

If you'd like hands-on help implementing what you've learned, you can apply to work with me directly.

Getting Started

How do I get started?

Start with the free course to build your foundation, then apply when you're ready for hands-on help.

What's the first step?

Head to the Contact page and send a short message about your goals no pressure, just a conversation.

How long until I hear back after applying?

Usually within 1-2 business days.

How much time will this take up for me?

I pride myself on managing all the heavy lifting / time consuming tasks for the client, meaning they only have to assist where is absolutely necessary, this is to make it seamless while also keeping them fully updated and involved as they prefer.

Can I get help with buying an owner occupied property to live in?

I do have a service where I assist first home buyers and owner occupied clients who need help finding their own home to live in.
