In this episode of Property Unfiltered, Simon Loo, founder of Housefinder, and Smart Property Investment’s Liam Garman are joined by Aaron and Valentina, who transitioned from demanding roles in emergency services to successful property investors and mortgage brokers.

The podcast delves into Aaron and Valentina’s property journey, which started with a setback when they were outbid on a property, prompting them to turn to rentvesting with the help of a buyer’s agent.

Despite facing unexpected maintenance costs and tenant turnover, the couple approached challenges pragmatically, maintaining a financial buffer, focusing on their long-term goals, and highlighting the importance of not sweating the small hurdles.

Aaron and Valentina remind investors, especially those in demanding professions, that mindset is a key component of growing their portfolio alongside education, strategic planning, and expert advice.
