In this very special episode, Sammy Gordon and Jimmy Ibrahim are back in the studio after a HUGE event. Sam takes us on a personal and candid journey as he reveals a major milestone: after years of championing the benefits of rent-vesting and building a massive property portfolio, he’s finally bought his dream primary residence. Sammy opens up about what led him to make this decision, the emotional rollercoaster leading up to auction day, and the challenges he faced; even in the final minutes before making the biggest purchase of his life. This episode isn’t just about the lead up to purchasing an incredible home; it’s an honest, behind-the-scenes look at the strategy, mindset shifts, and sheer hard work it takes to turn dreams into reality. Hint: the lessons along the way are invaluable! School of Property is the ultimate education destination to master property investment, with a curriculum meticulously designed and crafted with both beginners and experts in mind. Whether you are a complete novice, or you’re ready to take things to the next level in your portfolio, this is the program for you! To find out more, head to www.schoolofproperty.com.au.
