Ryan McGuinness 

Ryan has joined Empower Wealth as a Customer Relationship Officer, aspiring to progress through the Mortgage Broking Academy to become a Mortgage Lending Advisor.  Having recently worked as a Property Manager in the real estate industry, he brings both personal investing insights and professional expertise to the role.

Growing up in South East Melbourne, Ryan developed an early passion for property, finance, and investing. Books and podcasts on property, wealth-building, and self-development fuelled his drive for success, building a strong foundation in financial literacy, personal growth, and disciplined long-term thinking. He credits his understanding of leverage, compound growth, and strategic investing as the keys to his goal of achieving financial independence.

Passionate about property investment, Ryan is currently purchasing his first investment property at just 21 and is already working toward acquiring his next. He applies the knowledge and strategies gained through his personal investing journey and his professional background, holding a Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice, ensuring his approach is grounded in lived experience.

By combining his property management background with his developing mortgage broking expertise, he is building a well-rounded skill set within the industry. A loyal listener of The Property Couch, Ryan is shaping a career that unites his strengths and passions. He has also commenced a Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking to further expand his expertise.

Outside of his professional endeavours, Ryan is passionate about health and fitness. He trains at the gym most mornings, runs regularly, and plays basketball weekly, while also making time to enjoy weekends with friends.
