KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
Progressive Property courses, especially Buy, Refurbish, Rent (BRR), were pivotal for Matt’s transformation—equipping him with new strategies, confidence, and a supportive network that enabled rapid growth after experiencing failure and homelessness.
-
Learn to maximise the value of each deal. Matt leveraged the BRR strategy to buy undervalued properties, renovate them to create equity, and refinance to reinvest. He added bedrooms and split rooms to what he made at every stage.
-
Matt’s journey shows that you don’t need your own money to attract investors. He secured funding for major property deals by using Progressive to put himself around the right people, demonstrating passion, work ethic, and having a solid plan. You can potentially start with nothing and use other people´s money.
-
With the right mindset, support and up to date training anyone can overcome setbacks and achieve success in property investing.
