In this week's episode, Sammy Gordon sits down with Peter Wandl: a seasoned property investor with grit, vision, and a serious track record. With a $9.6 million portfolio across 11 properties and $5 million in equity, Peter's journey is the epitome of hustle, resilience, and smart strategy. From fixing up toys on weekends as a kid to navigating the GFC after losing half his super, Peter's path has been anything but linear. He shares how he went from taking advice from traditional financial planners and buying underperforming house-and-land packages, to finally taking control, doing the hard yards himself, and eventually partnering with APS in February 2024. Now a mentor client with an impressive portfolio, Peter's influence extends beyond his own success, he inspires his family and everyone around him to chase a better future.

On this weeks episode, we sit down with Lil and Deklan, two of the hardest-working and most genuine people you'll come across. In just 20 months, they've built an impressive portfolio — 8 properties, 10 rentals, with a total value of $4.1 million and $1.1 million in equity. But their journey didn't start with real estate; from flipping BMXs and motorbikes to trading GameStop shares and saving hard, they hustled their way up. For Deklan, witnessing his parents sell their home due to financial stress ignited a drive to secure his financial future, while for Lil, coming from a family where no one had ever purchased an investment property motivated her to break the cycle and build generational wealth. Raw, honest, and relentless in their approach, Lil and Deklan share the exact strategies they used to scale so quickly — proving that with the right mindset, resilience, and action, anything is possible.

Sam Gordon sits down with APS clients Kev and Carmela, a dynamic duo who've built an impressive $5.95 million property portfolio through sheer determination and hard work. Starting in teaching and accounting, they shifted gears to own and operate three successful cafes in Sydney, where they've worked hard to build them from the ground up (and overcoming the impact of COVID on the hospitality industry).   Kev and Carmela began their property journey individually, each purchasing their first properties, then combining forces to acquire five investments properties in a short period. After purchasing their primary residence in 2021, they connected with Sam and APS, and that partnership has since transformed their path to financial freedom. With nearly $2 million in net equity they are well on their way to achieving $200k in passive income to allow Carmela to step back from working and allow them both to spend more time with their young family. This episode is seriously inspiring and shows what can be achieved if you set a goal and commit completely.

Sam Gordon and Jimmy Ibrahim sit down this week with Bailey, an inspirational 25 year old that has grinded hard over the past 12 months to purchase 3 investment properties, creating $480k in equity starting with a $60k deposit. Bailey started as a labourer at 17 and spent years working hard in construction; and like many young people blowing money on fun — like jet skis, partying and drinking. But with no clear financial goal in mind, Bailey was on the path many young Australians find themselves on: living for the moment, without thinking of future wealth. Bailey shares how everything changed when he watched his older sister Morgan, Senior Buyers Agent and General Manager at Australian Property Scout, succeed in property. Rather than reinventing the wheel, he chose to follow in the footsteps of someone who had already paved the way, trusting in her and Sam's advice and staying focused on long-term goals. If you're looking for inspiration to kickstart your own property investing journey, Bailey's story is a must-listen. Tune in to hear his incredible transformation from spending recklessly to building serious wealth through property.
