Summary
While investors think they have a strategy, most rely on guesswork and deal-by-deal buying, ending up with disconnected portfolios that cost them through poor structure and underperformance – but a new platform is now changing the game. On The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Joey D'Agata, head of strategy at Game Plans, to explain how a new platform is changing the way buyer's agents and clients approach property investing. D'Agata says the core issue isn't access to deals, but the lack of structured planning behind each purchase, with many investors still relying on guesswork rather than a long-term framework. Game Plans solves this by allowing users to input financial data, property holdings, and goals into a system that models different investment scenarios before making a purchase. The platform runs a detailed fact-find and stress-tests the outcomes using factors such as yield, interest rates, and equity positions, helping investors see the real impact of each decision. D'Agata highlights how this approach has already helped investors restructure underperforming portfolios by selling weaker assets and reallocating into stronger growth opportunities.
