From refugee to investor: Chuy’s journey to a multimillion-dollar portfolio

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with Hung Chuy from Strategic Brokers to explore the complexities of property investment, broking, and the stories that connect them.

Hung introduces his new podcast, How I Met Your Broker, which is dedicated to sharing investor experiences, expert advice, and practical strategies for long-term success.

Hung shares his inspiring journey from a refugee background to building a multimillion-dollar property portfolio, offering a powerful example of resilience and strategic thinking in the real estate market.

The discussion then highlights how many investors stall after acquiring a few properties, often due to limited guidance, and how expert advice can help break through these barriers.

Hung stresses the importance of working with experienced brokers, highlighting that his team are investors themselves and can deliver tailored, long-term strategies, while warning against brokers who focus only on low rates at the expense of broader growth.

Drawing on his own experiences from early off-the-plan purchases to complex developments, Hung illustrates the importance of planning, adaptability, and learning in an evolving market.
