How this 25 + 26 Year Old Couple Built an 8 Property, 10 Rental Portfolio with $1.1m in Equity in Sub 2 Years

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:00:00 -0000

On this weeks episode, we sit down with Lil and Deklan, two of the hardest-working and most genuine people you’ll come across. In just 20 months, they’ve built an impressive portfolio — 8 properties, 10 rentals, with a total value of $4.1 million and $1.1 million in equity. But their journey didn’t start with real estate; from flipping BMXs and motorbikes to trading GameStop shares and saving hard, they hustled their way up.

For Deklan, witnessing his parents sell their home due to financial stress ignited a drive to secure his financial future, while for Lil, coming from a family where no one had ever purchased an investment property motivated her to break the cycle and build generational wealth. Raw, honest, and relentless in their approach, Lil and Deklan share the exact strategies they used to scale so quickly — proving that with the right mindset, resilience, and action, anything is possible.

7 Properties + $2m in Net Equity in 3 Years with Kev and Carmela

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:00:00 -0000

Sam Gordon sits down with APS clients Kev and Carmela, a dynamic duo who’ve built an impressive $5.95 million property portfolio through sheer determination and hard work. Starting in teaching and accounting, they shifted gears to own and operate three successful cafes in Sydney, where they’ve worked hard to build them from the ground up (and overcoming the impact of COVID on the hospitality industry).

Kev and Carmela began their property journey individually, each purchasing their first properties, then combining forces to acquire five investments properties in a short period. After purchasing their primary residence in 2021, they connected with Sam and APS, and that partnership has since transformed their path to financial freedom. With nearly $2 million in net equity they are well on their way to achieving $200k in passive income to allow Carmela to step back from working and allow them both to spend more time with their young family. This episode is seriously inspiring and shows what can be achieved if you set a goal and commit completely.

Strictly limited tickets are available to the Australian Property Scout Summit on Sunday, November 17th at The Star in Sydney.

How This 25yr old Tradie Built a 3 Property Portfolio with $480k Equity in 12 months!

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 18:00:00 -0000

Sam Gordon and Jimmy Ibrahim sit down this week with Bailey, an inspirational 25 year old that has grinded hard over the past 12 months to purchase 3 investment properties, creating $480k in equity starting with a $60k deposit. Bailey started as a labourer at 17 and spent years working hard in construction; and like many young people blowing money on fun — like jet skis, partying and drinking. But with no clear financial goal in mind, Bailey was on the path many young Australians find themselves on: living for the moment, without thinking of future wealth.

Bailey shares how everything changed when he watched his older sister Morgan, Senior Buyers Agent and General Manager at Australian Property Scout, succeed in property. Rather than reinventing the wheel, he chose to follow in the footsteps of someone who had already paved the way, trusting in her and Sam’s advice and staying focused on long-term goals. If you're looking for inspiration to kickstart your own property investing journey, Bailey’s story is a must-listen. Tune in to hear his incredible transformation from spending recklessly to building serious wealth through property.

Strictly limited tickets are available to the Australian Property Scout Summit on Sunday, November 17th at The Star in Sydney. You will leave with actionable steps, expert inspiration and direction to level up your property investing game, along with the opportunity to be surrounded by the APS and SAP community to expand and develop your circle of influence.

Why So Many Investors Get Stuck at 1 or 2 Properties?

Sun, 07 Jul 2024 18:00:00 -0000

In this week's episode, Sammy Gordon is joined in the studio by his co-host Jimmy Ibrahim and APS Strategist Luke Teeuwsen. The boys are in the studio discussing why so many investors get stuck at 1 or 2 properties into their investing journey. They delve into the common reasons including lack of strategy, viewing more expensive properties as superior and therefore maxing out borrowing power, and being lured into properties that would be eligible for government grants. The most important way to avoid falling into this trap is to surround yourself with the correct team to avoid making mistakes and becoming stuck; along with sticking to the strategy through the tough times to achieve your property investing goals.

APS Mission Update: Retiring 500 Investors by 2030

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 18:00:00 -0000

This week on the podcast, Sam Gordon is accompanied by Jimmy Ibrahim and Luke Teeuwsen to delve into the Australian Property Scout mission of retiring 500 by 2030. The trio discusses the metrics involved with setting and managing the goal along with the essence of retirement and what it means to each client. Sam shares insights into what his initial goals were when he first began in property, how he reached them, and offers advice on the importance of resetting and pursuing goals persistently, something he has practised himself numerous times.

Sam, Luke and Jimmy explore the reasoning behind choosing an ethical and sustainable goal rather than an arbitrarily grand one. They discuss the importance of taking the first step of the journey and celebrating each little step along the way, rather than postponing happiness until the ultimate goal is reached. This episode totally highlights the passion and care everyone in APS has for their clients, and in turn this mission.

How Leon Built $1m Net Equity from $60k in 4 Years

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 18:00:00 -0000

Sammy Gordon welcomes a special guest and long time friend to the studio this week: Leon Cusack. Leon's story is incredibly inspiring from a childhood with parents who sacrificed everything for himself and his siblings, to his pivotal light bulb moment after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his discipline to commit to his strategy whole heartedly.

Over the span of 4 years, Leon has built an impressive $2.5 million property portfolio, with a huge $1 million in equity. Leon and Sam reflect on the beginnings of their friendship playing soccer as young kids, and the reason that Leon decided property investment would be his vehicle to create wealth. Leon's pure dedication and determination is clear at every point in his story, and his commitment to the speed at which he is growing his portfolio and the clear trajectory that he is on is contagious.
