Why Empower Wealth Told Matt To Sell It All

Matt’s career has taken him from hospital wards to the mining industry, where he now manages teams across remote sites. But while his career has kept him busy, his property journey was heading down a risky path.

“I was just talking to some locals that lived up there (a mining town) and they gave me the nudge to say things are going to start moving up there… So I got my first property, in the early days of the podcast.”

Encouraged by market chatter, Matt and his brother made some early investments, including an off-the-plan apartment in Melbourne and a serviced apartment in Perth. But once he discovered The Property Couch podcast, doubts began to creep in.

“I think there was an episode that addressed talking about off-the-plan apartments, and it kind of raised an eyebrow. And then a couple of episodes later, I heard about serviced apartments being a ‘stay clear’… and I kind of went, I think I’m in a bit of trouble.”

Facing the Hard Truth

Encouraged by reviews and the transparency from The Property Couch Podcast, Matt decided to reach out to Empower Wealth for a Property Plan.

“It was quite… not confronting news, but he basically turned around and said, pack up and sell everything. Which was obviously difficult to swallow at the time. But there was a lot of research and a lot of rationale behind their advice.”

With the support of the team, Matt and his brother sold the underperforming properties and began work on restructuring their strategy.

Building the Right Portfolio

The plan set Matt on a stronger path, with a strong team at his back consisting of buyers agents, accountants as well as planners. All organised within Empower Wealth, streamlining a fully integrated process with a clear plan with a clear goal:

• A borderless investment property purchased with the help of Empower Wealth’s buyers agent.
• A second borderless investment property secured on the East Coast.
• A clear roadmap for addressing his mining-sector property.

“I think the highlight of the whole process was the honesty… not just to take the work, but to actually do it in the best interest of me.”

A Brighter Financial Future

Today, Matt sits with a portfolio that’s aligned with his long-term goals.

“It’s made a massive difference. I’ve gone from three properties that probably did not meet the projected growth… and now I’m sitting with three properties that are more aligned with the strategy and what I was looking to achieve. I’m definitely in a far better position than where I was three or four years ago.”
