"I’ve spoken to Melissa a few times over the years as I’ve been investing in Property, and this was the first time I had a deal properly broken down like this.
I was close to moving forward with a property that looked strong on paper, but the CORE analysis highlighted risks that my business partner and I hadn’t fully considered – especially around how best to structure the purchase and our exit.
Anyway, it stopped us buying something that wouldn’t have held up long-term and we’ve stopped looking at new builds!”
Keith R, Property Investor
“Clear, structured and no fluff”
"I’ve worked with Melissa on and off over the years, and what stands out is how practical and honest the feedback is.
There’s no overcomplication, which is handy. Just a clear view of the numbers, the risks and whether the deal stacks up. I've spoken to her about a few opportunities this week as I'm close to getting my 4th and its been handy getting her perspective. Thank you”
Daniel M, Property Investor & Developer

Melissa Lewis is the Founder & CEO of ML Property Venture, a Property Investor and Advisor focused on improving how investment decisions are made before capital is committed.
Having built her own portfolio and worked alongside Investors across a range of projects, Melissa saw a consistent issue: deals were often assessed on surface-level numbers, without a clear understanding of how they would perform in reality.
This led to the development of the CORE Framework™ – a structured approach to evaluating Property Investments across Cashflow, Operations, Risk and Exit.
Today, Melissa works with Investors, Landlords and Developers to provide clearer, more disciplined analysis before decisions are made.
Her focus is simple: to help investors avoid costly mistakes, assess opportunities properly, and make better decisions with greater confidence.
