Risk, timing, and growth: How 1 investor built an $11m portfolio

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant sits down with Steve Ash, a buyer’s agent at Property Strats, to unpack the journey behind his $11 million property portfolio.

A former investment banker, Steve made the leap from high-pressure trading floors in London and Sydney to the strategic world of property investment.

His first purchase in Kogarah, despite widespread warnings of a market downturn, ignited his passion and set the foundation for future success.

Leveraging his background in financial markets, Steve takes a portfolio construction approach, carefully balancing risk and diversifying across locations, highlighting the importance of timing, market selection, and a long-term mindset.

More than just wealth creation, property investment has given Steve the lifestyle freedom his former career lacked.
