THE PROPERTY NERDS: 2 properties by 23?!

28 APR 2026 By Robyn Tongol 1 min read Investor Strategy
While most hesitate for years, one young investor quietly built a multi-property portfolio before most even buy their first home – by taking bold, early risks others avoid.

On The Property Nerds podcast, host Arjun Paliwal speaks with Moses Villani, a Victorian investor who has scaled into multiple properties by acting proactively and consistently rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

Villani explains how entering the workforce straight after school during COVID-19 forced him into financial discipline early, building strong saving habits and a long-term focus from the start.

He says that mindset, reinforced by a family culture built on frugality and structure, became the foundation for his investing journey.

From there, he focused on increasing income stability, developing skills, and using each career step to strengthen his borrowing and investing position.

He also reveals how data-led decisions, interstate markets, and buyer’s agents helped him avoid hesitation and scale faster than most first-time investors.

Throughout the episode, the hosts highlight a simple but uncomfortable truth: most investors don’t lack opportunity – they lack early action and consistency.
