ADF HOUSING INVESTMENT PROPERTY:
SUCCESS STORY of an army veteran

The legend bloke behind this success story is just that. He’s a great communicator and loves sending 🤳🏻 a sms or two (see below). He’s just a great person to coach and guide along.

 
Louis is an Army Veteran who reached out to me in late 2022 with an update to his circumstances. Whilst he touched base with me a few years earlier, it was not the right 🕟 time for him to expand his property portfolio. He was living in Tassie with his family and had secured a 🛫 FIFO 🛬 job in the mining industry, so he wanted to put a plan together to revisit acquiring another property. He had IP#1 sitting in the Adelaide market already.

After watching our property training videos, he had a roadmap to follow and was 🤘pumped. Especially when Deb, the mortgage broker, gave him the green light to crack on! This is an SMS he sent me during the early stages:

The property is located in a massive 🏙️ master-planned community in SEQLD. The long-term potential of this region is very positive. 📈 Again Louis passed on his feedback during the build via SMS:

⏩ Fast forward to now, Louis is living at Roxby Downs with his partner, which negates the large travel burden of FIFO. Louis and Talina will visit Axon HQ in the next couple of months, do a 🎙️ podcast with us, and we will put a plan in place for what’s next.
