How Sidd and Liz built a four-property portfolio

news.com.au’s 31 March 2026 feature follows Sidd Sureshbabu and Liz Siqueira, a Sydney couple balancing demanding careers with plans for earlier retirement. The report describes four properties across three states, valued at $4 million, and $1.4 million in equity gained.

Changing direction after the first investment

Sidd told the publication that an earlier Sydney apartment had delivered disappointing growth. The couple began working with InvestorKit in 2021 and bought a house in Ferny Hills, Brisbane, for $610,000. The article reports that property’s value at $1.285 million five years later.

They subsequently bought in Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. The reported purchase prices ranged from $550,000 to $950,000, with the couple assessing both rental income and growth potential without taking on repayments they could not comfortably manage.

Working back from a shared goal

The feature describes a portfolio plan built around the couple’s circumstances, rather than a target of accumulating as many properties as possible. Their longer-term aims include generating retirement income and using equity towards a home in Sydney.

Those are the couple’s reported goals and historical results. Portfolio value, equity gained and future retirement income are different measures and should not be treated as interchangeable.
