INSIDE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY #01 – $5m by age 29
In the very first episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman and Rethink Group CEO Scott O’Neill dive into the strategies that separate long-term investors from short-term speculators. To kick things off, they unpack the remarkable journey of Vincent, a 29-year-old who has built an eight-property portfolio worth over $5 million in under four years.
Using Vincent’s story as a case study, the conversation explores how everyday Australians can scale their portfolios, the financing and cash flow challenges that come with rapid growth, and why chasing hotspots or quick wins often backfires. With more than $6 billion in acquisitions facilitated across Australia and New Zealand, Rethink Group brings the trusted expertise to cut through market noise and focus on strategies that work.
Key topics covered in this episode include:
- How Vincent grew to eight properties in just four years.
- The real costs of hotspot chasing and “pump and dump” strategies.
- Why balancing cash flow and growth is crucial for sustainability.
- The role of diversification in reducing portfolio risk.
- When it makes sense to pivot from residential to commercial.
