Sam Gordon and Jimmy Ibrahim are back in the studio for a long awaited portfolio breakdown, covering Sam’s journey from property 19 to 30. They revisit how he built his portfolio from the ground up, the beginnings of Australian Property Scout, and the impact of COVID on the housing market (and the opportunities that presented themselves to those who were game). Sam and Jimmy dive into the nitty gritty behind each deal — how they fit into Sam's strategy, the risks, the wins, and the lessons learned along the way.

Properties 19 to 30 — where Sam went all in, spending $4.5 million and securing a massive $5.8 million return.
