Bill left school at 16 with no degree, no plan, and no idea about property investing. He went to work for his dad — as a commercial beekeeper. By 29, he owns 9 investment properties across Australia, has a portfolio quietly compounding while he sleeps, and now runs his own mortgage broking and buyer's agency.
In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with Bill to unpack the real story behind building a property portfolio from scratch — including the deal that went wrong, the broker that nearly stopped him, and the mindset shift that changed everything.
They cover why most Australians are chasing the wrong goal (10 properties in 10 years), why brand new properties can be a trap, how to find a broker who actually understands investors, and why your property manager might be costing you far more than their fee.
The episode ends with Deal or No Deal — three real properties from Coffs Harbor and regional NSW go under the microscope, with Lloyd and Bill calling them live.
This episode gives you the unfiltered truth from someone who's lived it.
