Property Investment Podcast Network

Welcome to Property Unfiltered, a collection of raw and uncensored conversations with Simon Loo and some of the nation’s most savvy investors – giving you the insights you need to achieve your property dreams.

In this episode of Property Unfiltered, House Finder’s Simon Loo and Smart Property Investment’s Liam Garman are joined by investors Lee Ouch and Caryn Lim to reveal how they built a nine-property portfolio in just six years.

The conversation examines Australia’s evolving real estate landscape, where opportunities exist but require careful strategy.

Demand for lifestyle-rich coastal suburbs, such as Quinns Rocks, is reshaping local markets, with affordability and liveability drawing both buyers and investors.

Lee and Caryn share how disciplined planning and the right professional support have allowed them to scale their portfolio quickly.

They also explain how “rentvesting” gives them flexibility to live where they want while investing in high-growth areas.

Rising interest rates, unexpected costs, and reliance on negative gearing highlight the challenges of managing multiple properties.

Government incentives, such as the First Home Guarantee, are also discussed, though with a caution against short-term thinking.
