The boys are back and this time they have brought the big guns back into the studio once again, in the form of APS Strategist Luke Teeuwsen. A question we are regularly asked both in strategy sessions and in the Q&A's is Cross Securitising vs Equity Release. Brokers too often take the easy path of crossing an investors portfolio, we're here to unpack what you should be doing and the pitfalls surrounding either of these options. If you're loving the ep please share to someone who could take some value, and please give us a 5 star review if you haven't yet and are loving the poddy!

Strap yourself in folks, this is going to be a good one!

Running the gauntlet with some advanced lending scenario and doing whatever it took to build himself a portfolio. He shares what he has built today, and where he's going to take it in the future.

This episode has been a long time coming! Today, we step into the proverbial dog run to dive deep into Jimmy Ibrahim's own portfolio.
There are some battle scars on the old dog, and he's been through a lot in his journey and it's time for Sammy to step on the other side of the mic and ask Jimmy all the questions about his own journey and how he built a 10 property portfolio in a few short years.
There were house fires, builds, renovations and business collapses. Almost everything you could think of popping up, Jimmy has tackled.
Strap yourself in folks, this one is going to be a good one!
