## Resource

What if two investors started with identical incomes and identical savings and bought in the exact same suburbs...yet one ended up with nearly double the portfolio in half the time? Todd and Oliver Cheung break down a side by side comparison of John and Jane: two first time property investors who begin their journey from the same starting line. John takes the passive route, buy, hold, and wait for the market to do the heavy lifting. Jane takes a more strategic approach, selecting assets with hidden value add potential and using targeted renovations to manufacture equity rather than simply waiting for it. The numbers tell a striking story, with Jane reaching $3.6 million across three properties at the three year mark while John sits at $1.8 million with two. This episode is a masterclass in how asset selection and timing can compound in your favour and why the gap between two seemingly similar strategies widens dramatically over a decade.
