How Michael Started
It was Robert Kiyosaki’s personal finance classic ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ that first caught Michael’s interest and got him started in researching property and investment. He bought his first home at age 21, and his first investment property at the age of 23. By the time he entered the property investment field as a professional, Michael already owned his own home, as well as a further three investment properties.
Michael’s Property Investment Tips
Start Early – let time and the compounding effect work for you
Build a trusted team, e.g., property strategist,broker,property manager, etc.
Listen to like minded experts that invest for themselves as well
Make a plan – how much $$$ is enough?
Do your numbers so that know what you can afford
Don’t overthink buying an investment property
Revisit your equity and cash flow position every 18 months
Danielle purchased her first ‘renovator’s delight’ property aged 25.
While bringing up her two sons Archie and Spencer, Danielle spent twenty years working in a leading homewares and interior decorating company, managing many successful teams throughout Australia and New Zealand.
In 2013, Danielle chose to pursue another career path. She decided that she wanted to move into work that was more meaningful and in which she was better able to help people.
This was when she took the move into real estate. — an area in which she already had experience as an investor herself.
Danielle has since been a passionate property strategist working alongside Michael and world-class developers, and is committed to educating others about the value of investing in their futures as soon as possible.
She prides herself on honesty and trust.
Having met so many clients in their middle age who have been incredibly hard workers all their life but never been educated on how to build assets for their future, Danielle is a big believer that we need to be teaching our children these exact life skills in financial literacy at school from an early age.
Seek expert advice – hidden expenses can cost you thousands! World class athletes do not win gold without a coach!
Do not buy with your emotions! Investing must involve an analytical approach. There are many factors that are involved to make sure your property is set for strong capital growth.
Know the numbers associated to a property purchase and exactly how this looks for your situation before you get started. When your finances are set up correctly from the start it will change your life!
Get educated but remember at some stage you need to take action! Analysis paralysis leads to you doing nothing!
Growing up with a father heavily involved in the property industry, Tom has been talking property investing and asking questions for many years growing up as a young lad.
From helping with the renovations at a young age, to seeing off-plan projects evolve and how a property portfolio can change people’s lives, has made Tom passionate to continue in his father’s footsteps and join the family business.
Tom has been heavily involved with the family’s latest investments over the past 5 years, including visiting locations, being on site for pre-construction, progressing to completion and seeing the valuation outcomes.
Tom has now secured his real estate licence and wants to go on to help others navigate the industry.
This year alone he has had extensive visits to Perth, Melbourne, and Queensland to gain on the ground knowledge of many investment site opportunities.
Tom is very keen to get his first property as soon as possible.
Being involved in many discussions about property investing whilst growing up, and seeing first-hand how this can have huge benefits to everyday Australian families, Archie was very keen to be involved in assisting others to build a property portfolio as a career path and join the family business.
Keen to get involved, he started his journey whilst still at school with two entire subjects based on the property industry and finance sector. During this time, he had access to some very high-level market researchers to interview and mentor him, gaining a wealth of knowledge at an early age.
In 2024 alone he has had extensive visits to Perth, Melbourne and Queensland, visiting many current and upcoming property sites.
Archie has been heavily involved with the family’s latest investments over the past five years, including visiting locations, being on site for pre-construction, progressing to completion and seeing the valuation outcomes.
Archie is looking forward now to assisting others and working hard to kick start his own portfolio,
