They Turned Their Backyard Into $36K a Year – Here’s How⎟Ep. 2411
They started with a first home in Auckland… and turned it into something much bigger.
In this Case Study Sunday, Jess and Rob share how they built a three-property portfolio – including buying a discounted plaster home and constructing a second dwelling in their own backyard.
You’ll learn:
- Three properties, a backyard build, and a plaster home bought at a discount
- What they’d do differently if they could start it all again
- How they launched a new business to boost their cashflow
The key takeaway? Building a portfolio isn’t always a straight line. With the right mindset, practical skills, and a willingness to adapt, you can keep progressing... even when lending gets tight.
