In this episode of Investor Journeys, we sit down with an inspiring guest who proves that your starting point doesn’t define your future. Growing up in commission housing, he knew what it meant to do things the hard way. But through determination, strategy and a long-term mindset, he and his wife have built a property portfolio most people only dream about. After meeting in regional NSW — each having already purchased an investment property — they moved to Canberra, where they designed and built three homes within just a few years. Today, they control five portfolios worth around $4 million with an impressive 50% LVR, and they’re not done yet. This is a real story of building wealth from humble beginnings, showing that with the right plan and persistence, anything is possible. If you’re starting with limited resources or wondering how to scale your portfolio, this episode will give you the motivation and insights to take action.
