Secret Revealed: How This Self-employed 30-Yr Old Turned $180K Debt into Financial Freedom | #232

From being knee-deep in debt to becoming a property wizard — buckle up as we dive into the incredible business journey of our guest, Brayden Warhurst.

Brayden is the brains behind Raw Surfaces, a microcement and polished concrete business that's giving other competitors a run for their money.

We start by exploring why Brayden decided to start his own business, risking it all. It's a tale of wanting freedom, control, and a ticket out of the 9-to-5 grind. Debt? Yeah, most folks are scared of it, but not Brayden. He played the leverage game like a pro, snagging $180,000 at a 3% loan rate. Talk about a financial superhero move!

Moving on to the property investing game, he started with an old 1970s unit that needed more love than a rom-com. He learned the ropes, stumbled a bit, but now? Boom! A property that's not just a home, but a goldmine with a 72.19% return in nine months. 

So, put on your listening ears, and tune into the podcast because we’re about to drop wisdom bombs that'll have you rethinking your property game. 🚀✨
