Built for Scale: From 1 to 19 properties valued at $12m in less than 3 years

Anyone can make money when property is booming, but building a portfolio that can keep performing through changing conditions takes a far more considered approach. Here is how to do it.

On today's Built for Scale podcast, Liam Garman and Josh Crealy explore what it really takes to scale a property portfolio, from understanding market cycles to choosing the right assets and structuring an investment strategy for the long term.

Crealy shares how his own experience with high-risk development projects pushed him towards a strategy focused on market cycles, with investments in markets including Townsville and Darwin showing the potential of getting the timing and location right.

The conversation also turns to asset selection, with Crealy establishing Melbourne as an undervalued opportunity, particularly for units offering strong rental yields and sitting below replacement cost.

The pair also examine the importance of having a clear investment thesis and understanding what is driving the decision to build a portfolio, whether that is financial security, passive income, or creating a legacy.
