Report: Is My Property Portfolio Enough?

By in Free Resources

Are you already an experienced property investor? If so, maybe you’re wondering if you need to buy more properties to build up your portfolio and create the passive income you’re chasing? Or maybe you have one or two investment properties under your belt, but aren’t sure what strategic step to take next? Or perhaps you’re even floating the idea of investing through a self-managed superfund, but aren’t sure if it’s a suitable option for you?

Wherever you’re at, as an experienced investor it can be challenging to way up how your current portfolio is performing, how often to review your properties or even to know if you need to continue investing, especially given the fact that you don’t want to risk all of the hard work and effort you’ve already put in.

And as experienced investors ourselves, we get it.

230 | From Residential to Commercial Investing: How this guy quit his Day Job at 28 – Chat with Scott O’Neill

By in Podcast

Subscribe On Itunes Subscribe On Android

Folks, if you’ve sussed out the title, you’ll know that today we’re visiting a space we don’t normally explore — and that’s investing in COMMERCIAL property!

If you’re a regular listener, you’ve definitely cottoned on to the fact that we obviously have an agenda towards residential investing (we figure everyone needs somewhere to live)…  BUT our bias doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t reach success by other means of investing.

And walking proof of this is Scott O’Neill, Founder and Director of Rethink Investing who is an experienced and active investor who was able to RETIRE FROM HIS DAY JOB AT 28! Yep, VERY impressive. And he did it by investing in both residential property AND commercial property — mostly including well-selected unit blocks and small business that’ll likely be around for years to come.

With a portfolio of 28 properties (yep, the same number as the age he threw in the towel as an engineer), Scott’s passion and commitment has paid off in spades — he and his wife were able to take a 6 month sabbatical from working life and do nothing but travel Europe until, as it so happened, they grew bored of it and decided to teach others how to reach the same success instead!

So today we’re traversing Scott’s journey from residential to commercial property and picking up some pebbles of gold for you along the way:-)

Before we kick off what you’ll learn, here’s the bonus resources we mentioned in today’s show:
