The Challenge: Rebuilding After Financial Setbacks
For Daniel and Michelle, life had thrown some unexpected financial challenges. After both going through divorces, they felt like they had lost years of progress and were now starting from scratch. With limited savings, they worried they had missed the boat on property investment.
Their combined deposit allowed them to afford only a $350K property in a regional location, and they wondered if investing at all was the right move.
Final achievements
- Turned their modest savings into a $600K+ investment
- Used their profits to purchase their primary residence
- Now planning their next investment to pay off their mortgage sooner

A Mistake
A Seemingly “Safe” Investment
Industry: SMSF
Eight years ago, James bought an off-the-plan apartment in a trendy inner-city Melbourne suburb. At the time, he believed he couldn’t go wrong—after all, it was all about “location, location, location,” right?
Fast forward to today, James decided it was time to leverage his property’s equity and grow his portfolio.
But when he had the property revalued, he got a rude shock—not only had it failed to grow, but it was actually worth $50,000 less than what he paid, not even factoring in the stamp duty and buying costs.
Final achievements
- Grew his portfolio from one property to three
- Banked over $250,000 in capital growth
- Has a plan in place to purchase property number four
