In this week's episode, Sammy Gordon sits down with Peter Wandl: a seasoned property investor with grit, vision, and a serious track record. With a $9.6 million portfolio across 11 properties and $5 million in equity, Peter’s journey is the epitome of hustle, resilience, and smart strategy.
From fixing up toys on weekends as a kid to navigating the GFC after losing half his super, Peter's path has been anything but linear. He shares how he went from taking advice from traditional financial planners and buying underperforming house-and-land packages, to finally taking control, doing the hard yards himself, and eventually partnering with APS in February 2024. Now a mentor client with an impressive portfolio, Peter’s influence extends beyond his own success, he inspires his family and everyone around him to chase a better future.
