Premek Borek is a mechanical engineer and is now switching gears towards property. Borek grew up in Poland and assisted his father on weekends on his civil engineering jobs, which led Borek to move 100km from home to study mechanical engineering at university. He used these skills working in hospitals, laboratories and pharmaceutical companies, and then moved to Ireland and London before settling in Australia.Join us as we discuss his childhood and tailored education and how that led him to sunny Brisbane. We’ll take an auditory trip to Poland as Borek describes his upbringing in a 16th century tourist town, and we make a stopover in London where he takes us through the dilapidated house he rented and transformed, setting him on his path to property investing. We’ll also hear about the beginnings of his journey in Brisbane and the property that, along with some clever negotiations, completely changed his mindset amidst a growing pandemic. Hosted on Acast.
