Most first-time buyers chase the market near where they live. Cameron did the opposite. He rented in Sydney, watched prices climb, and saw the gap grow wider each year. The pandemic then hit, and fear pushed many people to stand still. Cameron moved.
He wanted proof, not noise. He booked a consultation and looked at the data with a clear head. One market stood out. Modbury North. Unfamiliar. Far from home. Strong numbers.
He bought the property without stepping inside it. He still has not seen it. The result was simple. It grew from 468k to about 820k.
That win helped him trust a clear strategy. Not emotion. Not what friends were buying. A year later he added Toowoomba. He added Townsville after that. Three states. Three different drivers. One principle. Back the suburbs with real momentum and let the numbers work.
Five years on he holds three properties and 759,500 in equity. He still rents in Waterloo and keeps the lifestyle he wants.
Cameron’s story is now being covered in the media. You can read the feature here: Why this Aussie has never seen his first home
The lesson is clear. You do not need the market near you to reflect your goals. You need numbers that match your situation. Cameron reached out because he felt stuck. He left with a plan that worked.
