Donna and Brad aren’t your typical married couple. Between them, they have 10 properties in Australia (plus one in England). It wasn’t always the plan to accrue so much real estate.

Their respective upbringings encouraged very different strategies, including preserving cash, investing in shares, and buying big toys like boats and cars.

But Donna and Brad have bucked the trend and instead forged ahead with an impressive portfolio that today has them in the 1% club of Australian investors who own more than 3 pieces of real estate.

Trigger Warning | Domestic Violence

The following content contains references to and descriptions of a domestic violence incident.

Parts of this episode may be hard to hear for some people. At the same time, it is a very inspiring and uplifting story about overcoming a challenge as destabilising as domestic violence.

On this episode, I have the privilege of interviewing Alison Newman. Alison is a single mum of two young boys who purchased her first property at the age of 23.

Alison hasn’t had it easy in life, but she hasn’t let that define her. Not only raising her two boys as a single parent but going through a messy divorce after experiencing domestic violence is enough for most people to never really master their wealth.

Throughout this episode, you will hear Alison’s story and how she won’t let anything stop her from being a shining example to her children.

How does a portfolio of four properties in four years sound? Too good to be true? What if that portfolio was developed by a couple in their 20s?! Unbelievable?

Well, this Property Investor Tale is no lie. Hayley Beavis has been investing since the age of 23 and shares her investing adventure on the latest episode.

If you’re looking for investors who share the big mistakes and the big victories of investing, then you’ve landed at the right episode.

This week my guests are Agatha and Warwick Moreland. Having invested in real estate for more than 40 years, Agatha and Warwick have a lifetime of lessons to share with me.

These two are so beautifully honest. They share “mistakes” such as buying whilst on holidays (which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise). They share how they didn’t invest in Port Melbourne for $29,000 because it was considered too expensive. And they also share some of the biggest pillars of their investing success.

A teacher and engineer profession, Agatha and Warwick are in the consolidation and lifestyle phase of their investing life. With incredible lifestyle choices in front of them, you can’t help but be inspired by the commitment these two have made to each other and their financial wellness.

Lauren is one of the most inspirational investors I’ve met. Having worked her way through a divorce and faced head-on the challenges of being a single parent, Lauren hasn’t let her fears or challenges stop her from investing in real estate and working on her financial future.

If fear has stopped you from investing, or your life circumstances have felt all too hard, then I’m sure you’ll be inspired to take action after listening to this conversation with Lauren.

Today, I am talking about some key lessons I learned from Dr. Andrew Wilson, a housing economist and a funny bloke. He is a member of the Chartered Surveyors Community, a wealth of knowledge, and a voice of reason when it comes to real estate investment.
