Get Invested: Matt Raad on investing in digital property

Buying, renovating, selling and investing isn't just limited to bricks and mortar, the digital world offers huge opportunities for property investors to diversify and unlock more cashflow, says Matt Raad.

Typically in Australia, the highest and safest reliable growth and cash flow vehicle that is tax incentivised is property.

However with recent increases in both property values and interest rates, the barriers to purchasing property from an equity and borrowing capacity are becoming challenging for many investors – so what are the safe, affordable or easy alternatives?

How about an asset class with limitless supply and demand that requires little capital to invest? 

We're talking about investing in the buying, renovation and selling of websites – assets that could be considered as the digital equivalent of real estate or virtual property.

This is where our guest Matt Raad comes in.

Matt started with nothing to build a high cash flow portfolio through buying and selling businesses that shifted to the virtual online equivalent.

Matt and his wife Liz are now accomplished and successful website investors, which in simple terms, means that they use digital assets to generate cashflow and build wealth. Together they were some of the first in the world to pioneer the buying, building and renovation of websites and they now teach others like you and me to achieve six to seven figure incomes using a similar strategy to buying and renovating traditional real estate.

Matt shares his insights into his journey as a successful investor, where he started out as a zoologist with his wife, bought their first business, expanded into mergers and acquisitions and then transitioned into the virtual tech and digital world.

He also reveals the fundamentals of digital assets and what it takes to successfully invest in this space.

Enjoy!
