When I was 12 I overheard my Dad and older sister talking about earning an income by owning a share of a business's profit. I asked a few questions and became fascinated at how someone can use money they have earned once to generate income multiple times.

It sure sounded a better way to earn an income than the pocket money I received from farm chores at the time =).

This led to studying business studies and economics in high school and after that a Bachelor's Degree in Commerce majoring in finance and accounting.

I've since invested in shares, index funds with a margin loan, residential and commercial property.

Using leverage to grow equity more quickly than other asset classes is what interests me about property. I'm keen to leverage the collective knowledge of others interested in property investment, property development and renovations.

When I am not learning about or talking about property I am usually exercising, surfing, watching sport and spending time with my family.
