Independent buyer’s agency

Most properties won’t get you financially free. We find the few worth buying.

We use the same process that built our own 11-property portfolio to identify the properties worth buying, reject the ones that don’t stack up, and negotiate hard on price.

Every purchase should leave you in a stronger position for the next one.

About us

Founded by Investors

Kinoro was founded by Darren Vi and Minh Khuu, two physiotherapists who built their own property portfolios while working in healthcare.

What started as a personal interest in property became years spent researching markets, analysing deals and learning firsthand what actually matters when building a portfolio.

Kinoro was created to bring that experience to other investors, combining evidence-led research, disciplined property selection and a willingness to walk away when the numbers don’t stack up.

How we buy

Most property mistakes are made before the purchase.

The wrong area, the wrong property, the wrong numbers, or advice from someone whose goals don’t align with yours. We work in a clear order, and every step ends in something written that you can read, question and keep.

  1. CEILING BUY 1 BUY 2 BUY 3

    Strategy

    Where could property realistically take you?

    We start with your broker-confirmed borrowing capacity, available equity and cash-flow limits, then work backwards to build a realistic acquisition plan.

    You get: Portfolio plan
  2. ABCD

    Location

    Which market should you buy in, and why?

    We compare markets across demand, supply, affordability, infrastructure, rental conditions and downside risks, using the same research framework every time.

  3. Property selection

    Which property, and is it the right one?

    We inspect and compare the real candidates on their merits rather than their finishes, including what is wrong with each one and what that should cost you.

    You get: Property assessment
  4. TARGET WALK AWAY

    The offer

    Is this the one, and what should you pay?

    We price it against verified comparable sales, then negotiate to the target and walk-away numbers agreed with you in writing beforehand.

    You get: Comparable market analysis
  5. SETTLE 6 MONTHS ON

    The partnership

    How do we keep you progressing?

    We don’t disappear at settlement. We review with you at six months and beyond, to find the next move toward your goals.

    You get: Six-month review

Where we stop

What we won’t buy

Judgement is easier to demonstrate by what you refuse than by what you recommend. These are the things we won’t buy, whoever is asking.

  • Off-the-plan apartments

    You’re buying something that hasn’t been built yet, so there’s no real sales history to prove what it’s worth.

  • House-and-land packages from developers

    If a developer is paying someone to sell it to you, that cost is usually built into the price you pay.

  • Mining towns that rely on one industry

    High rent can look great, until the main employer leaves. We avoid towns that depend on one industry to survive.

  • Anything we can’t confidently value

    If there aren’t enough similar sales to compare it with, we’re guessing. We won’t pretend otherwise.

  • Any deal where someone else pays us

    We don’t take commissions, kickbacks or referral fees from sellers, agents or developers. We only get paid by you.

  • Anything above your walk-away price

    We agree on your maximum price before negotiations start, then stick to it. Missing a property is better than overpaying for one.
