We all have a story. Here is mine.

I left India for greener pastures some 21 years ago with exactly $257 in my pocket.
I remember the amount $257 clearly because I was scared, really scared. I realised that I had inadvertently jumped into an ocean, without really knowing how to swim. I went into survival mode. Odd jobs followed: Telemarketing, driving a bakery truck, sandwich sales door to door, launching 2 businesses, both of which failed miserably. Nothing seemed to be working. I was pushed to the edge. It’s painful going down the memory lane. Life was tough. Really tough.

However, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. What other option did I have? Give up? I looked around for successful people around me and I knew someone who was hugely successful in property. While I was making $16/hour doing odd jobs, this gentleman was making over $500,000 from his property trades.

This kind gentleman took pity of my circumstances, and took me under his wings as my mentor.

We all work hard. But my mentor taught me to add smart into hard. He taught me the ropes and I devoured and quenched my thirst for knowledge, like there was no tomorrow.

I then rolled up my sleeves and dived in. After lots of trials, turbulence and tribulations, I began to make ground.

Fast forward 14 years, today I have multiple streams of income, a substantial property portfolio, all the creature comforts that go along with.

However I felt something was still amiss. You see, there comes a point – usually around the age 45, when one ponders upon their purpose in life. Upon profound introspection I have realised that I want to pass it forward. Over the past decade I have met and worked with hundreds of Kiwis as a financial adviser. During this period, I have closely observed and found that

Kiwis often fall into two groups.

Kind A – Kiwis who work hard, really hard, and yet struggle to pay off their mortgage, and unfortunately as it seems, they are destined to work until their retirement age – and perhaps even beyond.

Kind B – Kiwis who added ‘smart’ into hard (work) and transformed their personal financials, from near broke to multimillions.

I am in awe of New Zealand, and of Kiwis looking out for each other. I have tremendous empathy for Kiwis who dare to dream but lack the knowledge, the means, to achieve their dreams. I want to share everything I know about property to make a positive change to Kiwis lives.

Through the Property Investor Program, my goal is try level the playing field. I want to empower Kiwis with the necessary knowledge, strategies and professional know-how to fast track their financial freedom goals through residential property investing. I want all Kiwis in beautiful New Zealand to emulate my property investing success.

I started with $257 and made it happen, So can you.

Carpe Diem.
