What if the thing that changed your financial life forever started with a single phone call you almost ignored? Todd is joined by Shaun Craike, founder of The Buyers Co., who did something most people only talk about, built a business from scratch, sold it for $700,000, and paid off his home. All in 18 months. In this episode, Shaun pulls back the curtain on exactly how it happened, from the accidental opportunity that started it all to the $250,000 tax mistake he nearly made on the sale to why his properties still cash flow heavily today with just a few hours of work per week. If you've ever wondered whether real financial freedom is still achievable in Australia right now, this episode is worth your time. 🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
