Field to founder: How this former NRL player has embraced property

Discipline is a skill necessary in many jobs, but for Matt Srama, it’s been integral to the two careers he’s embarked on, first as a footy player, then as a buyer’s agent. Smart Property Investment’s Phil Tarrant sits down with Matt, director of Gold Coast buyer’s agency Srama Group, to discuss how the former rugby league player transitioned from a career in sports to running his own business. Matt shares how he learned about property investment first from YouTube and magazines, as well as by talking to some of his money-savvy Gold Coast Titans teammates. The Brisbane boy’s 2014 dream purchase of a Gold Coast property that was close enough to walk to the beach sent him down a new path into property investing, eventually leading him to start his business helping others get a slice of Gold Coast life. The duo discuss the lessons that can be applied on the field and on the block, and the key markets driving growth in the coastal region.
