🏠 Steve Elbourn went from being evicted and living in a granny flat to have a debt free PPOR in three years.
❌ He grew up in NSW Central Coast (Woy Woy) in housing commission, with no family history in property investing.
💸 After initially buying & selling a couple of properties at an early age, he found himself renting for over 20 years.
🎓 After re-marrying, and being evicted from his rental, he decided to get financially educated. Steve dove into research, podcasts, forums, trend analysis and decided he would "Rentvest".
📈 Through this strategy he bought three properties, often under-market value, which had huge growth as Covid induced a property boom.
😮 Hear how he made mistakes along the way, how he structured his properties, how he overcame borrowing power hurdles and his best advice for other investors.
💡 It's an inspiring story how an everyday person gained the option to become mortgage-free in just three short years.
