High Growth Unit locations from $400k in Melbourne
 
 
Are units really worth considering again, or is this just another headline grabbing attention while houses do all the heavy lifting?
 
In this episode, Todd and Gilbert Melgar break down why certain Melbourne unit markets under $400k are starting to show real pressure. Tight stock, improving demand, solid yields, and limited new supply are shifting the conversation. Not all units, not all areas, but clear pockets backed by data rather than belief.
 
If you want to understand how to spot opportunity as the market changes, this episode lays out the exact framework being used right now and why adapting strategy matters more than sticking to old rules.

25 Year old Scales $9,000,000 Portfolio with 19 Tenants!!! 


 
What would you do if tenants trashed your house, left rat feces everywhere, squatted for six months without paying a cent, and you were only 21 years old managing your second property? Most people would quit. Emma Roberts bought five more.
 
By 25, Emma and her partner Nick control a $9 million property portfolio, run three cafes, and are on track to retire at 30. She started with a $40k hospital income during the 2020 COVID crash. No inheritance, no rich parents, just grit and calculated risk.
 
In this episode, Emma shares how she finances deals, handles nightmare tenants, and why paying a little more in interest can keep you in the game. If you've been waiting for the "perfect time" or think you need a six figure income to start, this episode will shatter that thinking.
