62: How to Simply Get in the Property Game by Chris Gray

Today, we continue the conversation with a man who at 22, saw his chance for wealth and jumped at it.  Investing his first $35,000 in a property that became $3.5M 9 years later w multiple properties, he did what any other logical 31yr old would do – he retired!  Well, sort of.

Chris Gray laughs that his friends think all he does is get on super yachts and take lavish vacations while his wife thinks he needs to slow it down with his countless hours in his Buyer’s Agent business ‘Your Empire’, being a regular columnist for the mainstream media, and his regular stint on the Sky News Business Show “Your Property Empire” – this accountant by trade has decided to turn the emotions of buying property into a spreadsheet that has his clients winning – a lot! 

Welcome Chris to our community of dreamers who are definitely looking for ways to fund their dream life…

The Goods on Chris:

As an investment property expert, I teach people how to create wealth and improve their work/life balance through investment property. Many people work hard to pay off their home, or perhaps have just one investment property. I seek to change conventional thinking—and to teach people how to better leverage their income & equity to provide cash flow for their lifestyle.

My expertise has come from a mix of experience. I am a professional investor, qualified accountant, buyers’ agent & mortgage broker, all of which have contributed to my success in property. But more importantly, I am passionate and have funded my own lifestyle with investment property income for over 15 years. I began property investing at 22 with only $35,000, & turned that into a $3.5m portfolio in less than 9 years. This allowed me to retire from full time work at 31. My portfolio is now in excess of $15m & continues to grow. 

I am also the CEO of Your Empire, an independent property consultancy that builds investment property portfolios for time-poor professionals. In my earlier days, I personally taught clients how to create wealth & lifestyle options through investment property. I now better levera
