How Natalie Tripled Her Net Worth In Under 4 Years With Empower Wealth

Stuck and Searching for a Way Forward

When Natalie first began her property journey, she knew she wanted financial security, she just wasn’t sure how to get there. Growing up in a family of property developers sparked her early interest, but like many Australians, she navigated the early stages alone: buying, selling, changing jobs, and trying to make the “right” decisions with limited information.

It was during COVID that she discovered The Property Couch podcast. What started as casual listening quickly became a valuable learning tool. “I’d owned my first property. I was keen to build wealth, and I wanted to make sure I could stand on my own two feet,” she shared.

The turning point: “I knew a bit… but not enough to get it right.”

Natalie purchased what she believed was a “good cheap asset”, a home she would also live in. When it surged in value, she realised how powerful good decisions can be. But she also realised something else:

“I was hesitant about paying for advice… but if I’m buying a $600,000 asset, $3,000 for advice is a very small price to make sure I don’t get it wrong.”

So she reached out to Empower Wealth.

A plan that finally made things clear

Working with our Financial Planning and Property teams, Natalie gained clarity almost immediately. She realised her existing property was worth keeping long-term, discovered she could still purchase a new investment property despite temporarily being on a lower wage, and understood how to structure her equity, borrowing power and buffers properly without overextending herself.

“It really clicked. Nothing was salesy. It just made sense.”

Expanding her financial ecosystem, and her confidence

What began as a straightforward Property Planning engagement soon expanded into a more holistic journey. Natalie went on to work with our Financial Planning team to assess her super, insurance and long-term wealth projections, engaged our Buyers’ Agents to source quality borderless assets she wouldn’t have been able to find on her own, and partnered with our Mortgage Broking team to structure her lending safely and effectively.

And the results?

“My net wealth has now tripled.”

“I should have got in touch with (Empower Wealth) a lot earlier. I’ve learned a lot… I would not be in the position I am now.”
