They Say You Never Forget Your First (Client). I Definitely Haven’t.
They say you never forget your first.
Louie Oliva was mine.
My first ever client.
He took a punt on me when there wasn’t much to punt on — no track record, no brand, nothing but hunger and belief.
And in January this year?
He bought with me again.
(even though he’s so switched on, he probably could’ve done it himself)
The Purchase
We picked up a 3 bed, 2 bath in Frankston for just under $715K.
The house?
Let’s just say… it’s not getting a feature on Luxe Listings anytime soon.
But it had:
Good bones
A solid floor plan
A decent block
Value-add potential
And, most importantly, the fundamentals you want for capital growth
This is what real investing looks like.
Not glamorous.
Not clickbait.
Just smart buying.
Fast Forward to Today
Literally 100 metres down the road, a 3 bed, 1 bath just sold for:
$758,500
Smaller block.
One less bathroom.
Almost $50K more than what Louie paid.
That’s what happens when you buy well — the market does the heavy lifting for you.
So Yeah… We Really Do This
This isn’t theory.
This isn’t “if everything goes perfectly.”
This isn’t some back-tested model.
This is real.
Real buying. Real equity. Real wealth creation.
Call it equity. Call it growth.
Call it whatever you want.
Bottom line?
It works.
