HOW I MET MY BROKER: From first loan to financial freedom: My 10-year journey, with Adam Beasley

21 AUG 2026 By Robyn Tongol 2 min read Investor Strategy

Building a $10m+ portfolio takes more than buying property, with renovations, developments, lending strategy, and some hard-learned lessons shaping an investor’s journey.



On the How I Met My Broker podcast, Liam Garman and Hung Chuy from Strategic Brokers are joined by investor Adam Beasley to discuss the deals and decisions behind his $10 million-plus property portfolio.

Beasley shares how his background as an electrician helped him spot opportunities to manufacture value, from his first Penrith purchase to renovations and development plays that created equity and lifted rental returns.

The conversation gets into the deals that nearly went wrong, including a commercial opportunity he walked away from after his due diligence uncovered what was really behind the numbers.

 
 

The trio also look at the finance decisions that helped keep the portfolio moving, and why having a broker who understands an investor’s strategy can make a difference when the next opportunity comes along.
