Property Investing on a Single Income
Listen to the Property Investor Tales Podcast Now
Welcome to Property Investor Tales – Stories From The Front Yard. In this episode, Tabitha Bright sits down with Positive Real Estate coach Rosie Bason to share the story of her client Chelsea and how she started investing on a single income. Chelsea initially considered buying close to home, but after looking at the numbers and her long-term goals, she realised the property could actually hold her back. After stepping away from investing for almost a year, Chelsea returned ready to take action. With a clear strategy, the right team and disciplined budgeting, she purchased a four-bedroom investment property in Melbourne in less than two months.

💰 Budgeting and building buffers

Chelsea’s story proves you don’t need a partner to start building a property portfolio — you need a plan, the right support and the willingness to take action.
