A Tradie’s Journey: From Property Flipping to Holding for Long-Term Gains | #286


Listen Later

Is flipping properties the secret to building wealth?

Or is the buy-and-hold strategy the key to long-term success?

Mathew Russo thinks he has the answer.

A seasoned builder turned property investor, Mat started with renovations and flips, leveraging his construction background to chase big profits.

The returns were rewarding, but the 24-hour workdays and constant hustle?

Not so much.

When their family grew, Mat and his wife knew they had to shift gears.

With Dashdot’s help, they adopted a buy-and-hold strategy, securing a property in Bunbury, WA, that gained over $100K in equity within a year. 

Now, Mat’s growing his portfolio while balancing family dinners, running a business, and keeping his sanity intact.

So, if you’ve been wondering whether flipping or holding is the better path to financial freedom, Mat’s hard-earned insights are a must-hear.
