## Resource

Starting at 40 How to build a $4,000,000 Portfolio Many Australians feel like they've "missed the boat" when it comes to property investment once they hit their 40s. In this episode, Todd Sloan and Steve Ash tackle those fears, showing that it's never too late to start and that strategic planning can still deliver significant results. Using a case study of Jenny and Dave, a couple in their early 40s, they explore how to use equity wisely, manage debt, and diversify investments across states to build a $4 million portfolio. They also highlight the importance of cash flow planning, mindset, and personal development to make the journey smoother and more achievable. Listeners are left with practical takeaways: set clear goals, understand your finances, and take deliberate action. With patience, discipline, and the right strategy, starting later in life doesn't mean missing out; it can be the start of a successful investment journey. 🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
