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

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.
