How Aaron and Jo Built a 9 Property Portfolio with over $2m in Equity in less than 2 Years

Scouting Australia Podcast

Sam is joined in the studio for this week's investor episode by Australian Property Scout clients, Aaron and Jo. Together they have built an impressive 9 property portfolio with 2 million equity in a sub 2 year timeframe. Aaron and Jo both came from humble beginnings, both having great work ethic instilled in them from their families during their childhood, combined with their exposure to property and the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, caused them to stumble across Sam after winning Investor of The Year in 2020. This was the perfect storm to get their portfolio started and working towards their goal to retire by 2030.
