Quick Answer

Property Club is a Brisbane-based property investment club founded in 1994 by Kevin Young (it traded as The Investors Club until it was renamed). Membership is free. Members get a property mentor, education and a selection of “researched” investment properties, including house and land packages. Property Club says on its own Member Benefits page that its costs “are largely met by the vendors”, so the sellers of the properties it recommends fund the free services. Before you buy anything through it, ask what Property Club, or any related company, receives from the seller, in dollars and in writing.

Who Is Property Club?

According to its own websites and the Australian Business Register:

  • Founder: Kevin Young, who the company says began investing at 21, has bought and sold over 644 properties, and wrote the book Property, Prosper, Retire.
  • Founded: 1994, as The Investors Club. Kevin Young’s own website says it was renamed Property Club in 2012 “to minimise confusion about its preferred investment vehicle – property”.
  • Head office: Shop 20B, 1631 Wynnum Road, Tingalpa QLD 4173.
  • Legal entity: the website doesn’t name the company that operates it. The Australian Business Register lists several active companies with “Property Club” in their names at the Tingalpa postcode, including Property Club Holdings Pty Ltd, Property Club Administration Services Pty Ltd and Property Club Loans Pty Ltd. Ask which company you are dealing with.
  • Size: the homepage reports 70,517 members, 5,162 “Property Millionaires” and 20,620 properties purchased; its Member Benefits page says “around 80,000”. These are the company’s own figures, and we haven’t verified them.
  • Charity: Club Cares, which the company describes as its registered charity arm, founded by Kevin Young.

Not to be confused with property investment “clubs” in general, or with other businesses that use “property club” in their names.

What Does Property Club Do?

Property Club describes itself as a property investing club and community. On its Member Benefits page it lists:

  • A personal property mentor for each member
  • Education: workshops, webinars, state and national conferences, information meetings and a weekly emailed magazine
  • Property research and selection: a “wide selection of carefully researched” investment properties, found by what it calls “Best Property 4U Property Researchers”
  • Leasing support through its “Club National Leasing” service
  • Cash flow assessments and a “Personalised Wealth Creation Plan”
  • Quality control inspections on new properties

Its featured properties (as at 8 October 2026) include established townhouses in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, an apartment in Perth, and house and land packages in northern Adelaide and Mandurah. They’re priced in “coffees a day” rather than as a total price on the homepage cards.

How Much Does Property Club Cost?

Membership is free, and the company says most member services are “free, or at least, heavily subsidised”. It doesn’t publish a fee schedule for any paid services on the pages we reviewed.

Free to join doesn’t mean free to use. The cost question that matters is what’s built into the price of the property you buy.

How Does Property Club Make Money?

Property Club answers this itself, in general terms. Its Member Benefits page says: “Our costs are largely met by the vendors, enabling you to have access to the best property investment education.”

In plain English, the people selling the properties it recommends (developers, builders or other vendors) pay Property Club or a related business. The website doesn’t say how much, or whether the amount varies by property.

In our experience on the developer side, when a vendor pays a marketing fee or commission to the group that introduced the buyer, that cost is built into the price. It can run into tens of thousands of dollars on a house and land package. We haven’t seen Property Club’s agreements, so we can’t say what it receives on any property.

Ask this before you sign: “What will Property Club, Best Property 4U, or any related company receive from the vendor, builder or developer if I buy this property?” Ask for the answer in dollars and in writing.

Is Property Club a Buyer’s Agent?

Property Club doesn’t describe itself as a buyer’s agent. It calls itself a club, and Kevin Young’s pages describe it as a “consumer advocacy group for property investors”. A buyer’s agent is a licensed real estate agent engaged and paid by the buyer, under a written agreement, to act for the buyer. A business whose costs are “largely met by the vendors” is paid by the other side of the sale.

Ask Property Club who it acts for on your purchase, and check any licence it quotes on the public register in the state where you’re buying. Its website terms also say advice received through the site “should not be relied upon for personal, medical, legal or financial decisions”.

Property Club Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Long track record: operating since 1994
  • Free membership, education and a personal mentor
  • Upfront that vendors largely fund its costs (on its Member Benefits page)
  • Offers quality control inspections on new properties and leasing support

Cons

  • No published dollar figure for what vendors pay it on each property
  • Recommendations come from its own researched stock, not the whole market
  • Featured properties are framed as “coffees a day”, which tells you little about the total price or whether it’s fair
  • The website doesn’t name the operating company
  • Very few independent public reviews (see below)

Property Club Reviews: What Do Customers Say?

Independent reviews are thin. As at 8 October 2026, Property Club’s Trustpilot page shows 3 reviews with a TrustScore of 3.5 out of 5: one 5-star, one 2-star and one 1-star. We found no ProductReview listing for it.

  • Positive: help buying land and building, and support after completion.
  • Negative: one reviewer reported poor communication and building defects still unresolved months after settlement; another felt its research could favour outcomes that suit the business and was hard to fact-check.

Property Club publishes its own “Success Stories” page. Those are selected by the company, so read them as marketing, not independent reviews.

Three reviews can’t tell you much either way. And reviews tell you about service, not whether a specific property is fairly priced, so check that separately.

8 Questions to Ask Property Club

  1. Which company will I be dealing with, and what is its ABN?
  2. What will Property Club, Best Property 4U or any related company receive from the vendor, builder or developer if I buy this property? Please put it in writing, in dollars.
  3. Who do you act for on this purchase: me, or the vendor?
  4. What is the total contract price, and what are comparable new and established properties nearby selling and renting for, with sources?
  5. Can I buy this same property or package directly from the builder or developer, and at what price?
  6. Does my mentor receive any payment when I buy?
  7. Do you or a related company (for example, Property Club Loans) receive anything from the lender or broker you refer me to?
  8. Who carries out the quality control inspection, and will I get the full written report?

Property Club vs REIN

Property Club is a free-to-join investing club: mentoring, education and researched properties, with its costs largely met by the vendors.

REIN is a buyer-only house and land advocate. We don’t sell stock. We review a house and land package you’ve been shown, show you the builder commission built into the price, and rebate 100% (excluding GST) of that commission to you. A REIN service fee applies, and the rebate typically covers the fee and more.

If you want a community, mentoring and a curated list of properties, that’s the kind of service Property Club offers. If someone has already put a house and land package in front of you, that’s where REIN fits.

Common Questions About Property Club

Is Property Club legit?

Property Club is a long-running, real business. It has operated since 1994 (originally as The Investors Club), has a head office in Tingalpa, Brisbane, and related companies are listed on the Australian Business Register. Being legitimate isn’t the same as being the right fit, so ask how it is paid on each property before you buy.

Is Property Club membership really free?

Yes, joining is free, according to the company. It says most member services are free or subsidised because its costs “are largely met by the vendors”. That means the money comes from the sale of the properties members buy.

Who owns Property Club?

Property Club was founded by Kevin Young in 1994. Its website doesn’t name the operating company; several “Property Club” companies are registered at its Tingalpa postcode. Ask which entity you’re contracting with.

Does Property Club get paid by developers?

Property Club says its costs are “largely met by the vendors” of the properties it offers. It doesn’t publish how much it receives on each sale, so ask for the dollar amount in writing before you sign.

Can I get a second opinion on a house and land package from Property Club?

Yes. REIN reviews house and land packages before you sign and shows you the builder commission inside the price. Book a free review.
