The Framework
The Get RARE Model's GPS Framework
A property strategy is like a GPS. It sets the destination, the life the investor wants. It considers where they are now, their preferences, risk appetite, borrowing power, and savings rate. Then it finds the route.
G
G
The stage for building the portfolio strategically. Start with the end in mind. Work backwards to determine the actions required to reach the goal.
P
P
Typically the longest stage. Protect cash flow and manage risks while the portfolio grows in value.
S
S
The stage to deleverage a portion of the portfolio to pay off debts. Triggered when equity in the portfolio reaches the financial target.
From Chapter 4, The Property Wealth Blueprint

About the Author
Rasti Vaibhav, CFA
Rasti is a CFA charterholder and founder of Get RARE Properties, an independent property investment advisory firm in Australia.
His path was not linear. Trained as an architect, he taught himself programming, moved from Delhi to Singapore to formalise his computer science skills, and in 2006 arrived in Australia with his wife Rupali and a few hundred dollars between them. He completed his MBA at AGSM with study at Chicago Booth, then qualified as a CFA charterholder, three exams over three years, while working his first finance role. He became an Equities Analyst at Westpac, then a Quant Fund Manager at AMP Capital, where he managed investment portfolios worth billions.

He became an Equities Analyst at Westpac, then a Quant Fund Manager at AMP Capital, where he managed investment portfolios worth billions.
In 2011, after 14 months of planning, Rasti made his first property investment: $80,000, mostly borrowed. By 2017, the personal portfolio had reached $5 million and turned cash flow positive. Today, Rasti and Rupali hold a personal portfolio of over $15 million, built on the same frameworks set out in this book.

Questions
Frequently asked
The Property Wealth Blueprint sets out a systematic approach to building an Australian property portfolio, introducing the Get RARE Model's GPS Framework (Grow, Protect, Secure) used by the author to build a personal $12 million portfolio from an $80,000 starting point, and to guide 400+ Australian families at Get RARE Properties.
Rasti Vaibhav is a CFA charterholder and the founder of Get RARE Properties, an independent property investment advisory firm. Before founding Get RARE in 2019, he was a Quant Fund Manager at AMP Capital and an Equities Analyst at Westpac. He holds an MBA from AGSM with study at Chicago Booth Business School.
The Get RARE Model is the author's proprietary system for building a property portfolio. Its core is the GPS Framework, three stages: Grow the portfolio, Protect the position, Secure the wealth. The model is explained in Chapter 4 and demonstrated end-to-end in the Amy & John appendix case study.
Most property books focus on what to buy. The Property Wealth Blueprint focuses on how to think, in a way that limits downside first, treats property as a business, and lets good decisions compound. It is written from the perspective of an institutional fund manager who applied the same frameworks he used to manage billions of dollars for others to his own $12 million personal property portfolio.
The First Edition was published in 2022. The Second Edition (October 2025) is fully revised and updated, with refreshed case studies, updated 2023–2025 market commentary, and an expanded Amy & John appendix that walks through the Get RARE Model end-to-end.
