How this investor turned a setback into a $9m portfolio

Undeterred by a rocky start to his real estate investment journey, this investor transformed his setbacks into valuable lessons that laid a solid foundation for his portfolio’s success. Smart Property Investment’s Phil Tarrant is joined by Rishi Bajaj, an investor whose initial property purchase in New Zealand didn’t go as planned but yielded valuable insights into the importance of conducting due diligence. Now with a portfolio valued at around $9 million and comprising eight properties, the trans-Tasman experienced investor discusses how life experiences shaped his investment strategy and underscore the need to prioritise asset consolidation and review rather than focusing solely on acquisition. Lastly, the duo unpack Rishi’s plan for his growing portfolio and why he believes there are still a lot of untapped opportunities for profit in his journey.  If you like this episode, show your support by rating us or leaving a review on Apple Podcasts and by following Smart Property Investment on social media: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
