Sam Gordon sits down with APS clients Kev and Carmela, a dynamic duo who’ve built an impressive $5.95 million property portfolio through sheer determination and hard work. Starting in teaching and accounting, they shifted gears to own and operate three successful cafes in Sydney, where they’ve worked hard to build them from the ground up (and overcoming the impact of COVID on the hospitality industry).   Kev and Carmela began their property journey individually, each purchasing their first properties, then combining forces to acquire five investments properties in a short period. After purchasing their primary residence in 2021, they connected with Sam and APS, and that partnership has since transformed their path to financial freedom. With nearly $2 million in net equity they are well on their way to achieving $200k in passive income to allow Carmela to step back from working and allow them both to spend more time with their young family. This episode is seriously inspiring and shows what can be achieved if you set a goal and commit completely.
