From Gambling Addict to 7 Properties and $1,740,000 in Net Equity in 3 Years

Scouting Australia Podcast

Sam Gordon is joined in the studio for this week's episode by Naaman, Australian Property Scouts’ newest Portfolio Strategist. In this captivating episode, we uncover Naaman's inspiring trajectory from humble beginnings in Christchurch, New Zealand, to creating a multimillion-dollar property portfolio in Australia. With a firm belief that your starting point doesn't dictate your destination, Naaman and his partner Sarah embarked on a bold adventure, with a one-way ticket to Australia and $2,000 to their name.

Undeterred by challenges, Naaman embraced every opportunity to create his own path, diving headfirst into any opportunity that came his way. Today, Naaman and Sarah stand as a testament to the transformative power of vision and grit with a staggering $1.74 million in equity derived from a current portfolio debt level of $1.9 million, holding a massive value of $3.6 million.
