I Bought 3 Houses By 37 – Here's How (Case Study)⎥Ep. 2173
What happens when you buy at the “top of the market” … and things don’t go to plan? In this episode, we share Sam’s journey of building a 3-property portfolio by the age of 37.
Sam has seen the ups and downs of investing – from doubling his first property’s value in just 3 years, to facing engineering issues with a new build, and dealing with negative equity. Despite the setbacks, he’s staying the course and has no regrets.
You’ll hear:
- How Sam built a 3-property portfolio in Whanganui, Christchurch, and Auckland
- Why buying at the “peak” wasn’t a mistake (even if the numbers don’t look great right now)
- The real red flags he missed – and the lessons for every investor
This case study is a reminder that while property investing isn’t always smooth sailing, it’s about playing the long game.
