In this powerful episode, Sammy Gordon sits down with long-time Australian Property Scout client and committed property investor David, who shares his journey from a self-confessed “super green, super naive” beginner to building a multi-million dollar property portfolio. David opens up about his humble beginnings, the early spark of inspiration he found listening to podcasts, and the life-changing moment he connected with a young buyer’s agent whose story deeply resonated with him.

 

From reaching out for help in 2020 to now owning 8 investment properties and a family home with his wife Alicia, David reflects on the mindset shifts, sacrifices, and lessons that shaped his growth. Tune in to hear how he overcame setbacks, balanced family life with investing, and how surrounding himself with the right team helped unlock his success in the property game.

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.

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.

Sam Gordon welcomes a special guest to the studio this week: Jake McGregor, a close friend and Buyers Agent at Australian Property Scout. Jake’s story is incredibly inspiring from a pivotal moment in high school that set off a fire in his belly, to overcoming a $52k loss and turning it into a triple win with his next investment. Over the span of 7 years, Jake has built an impressive $4 million property portfolio, with a huge $1.6 million in equity.

Jake and Sam reflect on the beginnings of Jake’s investment journey earning $9 an hour as an apprentice plumber, influenced and encouraged greatly by his parent’s own journey and hard work. Jake’s pure grit and determination is clear at every point in his story, and it’s obvious in his success how resilient and focussed he has remained and the challenges he's overcome.  Please let us know what you think of our new segment at the end, and whether you’d like to continue seeing this 🔥😉 School of Property is the ultimate education destination to master property investment, with a curriculum meticulously designed and crafted with both beginners and experts in mind.

(41:53) Fundamentals are always important: right property, right market and right price 

This week we have a very special guest and one of Australian Property Scout's "Young Gun" clients Ethan Kelly. Ethan aka "The Aussie Battler from Logan", has an impressive 5 property portfolio at just 25 years of age. 

From being a menace to society growing up, Ethan talks about the importance of setting himself up for the future and how he ‘accidentally’ became a property investor at the young age of 19.

In this exciting episode we can learn a lot from Ethan’s grit, determination and winning mentality through investing and his thirst for continual accumulation. One thing is very clear, Ethan is passionate about continuing to grow and his future in investing is certainly exciting.
