Their first two properties went nowhere. Off-the-plan apartments bought on family advice that produced zero growth and years of frustration. Fast forward to today. Dr Rex Kwan and Melissa Tsui hold a $7M+ portfolio across multiple states with over $2M in equity. They built all of it without visiting a single property. They'd never even met Arjun in person until this recording.
In this episode, Arjun Paliwal (CEO of InvestorKit) sits down with Rex and Mel to walk through the full journey. How they went from losing money on their first purchases to rent vesting deliberately, investing in towns Mel had never heard of, and building a portfolio that means they never have to worry about retirement again.
