A Darwin rental property at dusk, the kind Academy members learn to run

NT property education and community

Learn the NT system properly. Then never run it alone.

Courses built from fifteen years of Darwin and Palmerston practice, inside a members' community that meets every week: masterclasses, peer rooms, clinics and coaching, led by Lee-Ann Schey, a licensed NT agent who still runs the doors.

What the Academy is

Four ways in, one working system.

The Academy is not a course library you buy and forget. It is one community with self-paced courses, a live calendar and coaching layered on top, so what you learn keeps pace with the NT rules and the people applying them.

Courses

Twelve self-paced, NT-specific courses, each titled for what you can do afterwards. Buy one outright, or get your track's courses inside membership.

Masterclasses

One live session a month with Lee-Ann and guest specialists, then straight into the replay vault. The first six are already on the board.

See the programme →

Community

The Members' Room: landlords, new managers and principals across the Territory comparing notes instead of guessing alone.

Inside the Members' Room →

Coaching

The First Twenty Doors cohort and 90-day mentoring with Lee-Ann, for the two moments that deserve more than a course.

Which one are you

Three people learn property here. Pick the one that is you.

Each track has its own courses, its own group inside the community and its own membership tier. Start where you are, move up when you are ready. This is built for the small end of town: self-managers, first rent rolls and boutique books, not the franchise networks.

DIY Landlord A self-managing landlord checking over a Darwin rental property

Self-manage your rental, properly

For owners managing their own NT property

Keep more of the rent without the late-night worry that you have missed a notice period or a bond rule. Your track: five landlord courses, the Landlord Circle and a monthly Q&A clinic.

New Manager A new property manager setting up a rent roll at a laptop

Start your own rent roll

For new and solo property managers starting out

Boutique Agency A small Darwin property agency team in their office

Run the agency, keep the service

For principals and small agencies growing a book

Systemise the rent roll and grow without the service slipping. Your track: every course including the agency flagship, the Principals' Roundtable and the full SOP vault, for the whole team.

The monthly rhythm

Something live every week of the month.

The calendar is the point. Every week has a live room, every session lands in the replay vault, and when the NT rules move, the alert reaches you in plain English.

Week one

The masterclass

One topic, taught live by Lee-Ann or a guest specialist. The replay is in the vault the next day.

Every member

Week two

The PM Peer Room

The fortnightly working session for new and solo property managers. Collaboration, not competition.

Launch and Agency

Week three

The landlord Q&A clinic

Bring the tenancy you are stuck on. Lee-Ann works it live, notice by notice.

Every member

Week four

The Principals' Roundtable

Monthly and capped at twelve agencies. The table where principals talk real numbers.

Agency tier

And whenever the NT rules move: a plain-English law-change alert with what it means and what to do next. The Peer Room meets fortnightly, so its second session lands alongside week four.

Lee-Ann Schey, founder of Advanced Residential and lead instructor at Advanced Academy

Your instructor

If you can manage property well in the Top End, with its seasons, its distances and its rules, you can manage it anywhere. I teach exactly what we do, nothing held back.

Lee-Ann ScheyFounder, Advanced Residential. Fifteen years managing and selling property across Darwin and Palmerston, and still managing doors today. Where a subject needs a specialist, she brings one in: the trust-accounting and depreciation content is co-taught by people who do that work for a living.

Why learn here

Membership

One community, three tiers.

Every tier is the same room and the same monthly rhythm: the Members' Room, the masterclass and replay vault, the law-change alerts and your track's templates. The tier sets which courses, groups and sessions come with it.

The Academy has not launched yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. You will find no member counts and no star ratings on this site, because there are none to show. What there is: fifteen years of documented NT practice, a course catalogue in production, a live calendar already planned, and a founding intake opening early 2027. Founding members join at the lowest rate the Academy will ever charge, and that rate holds for as long as they stay.
