For one British investor, breaking from family tradition was the impetus he needed to create wealth in the long term.

On this episode of the ADF Property Podcast, co-hosts Grace Ormsby and Discover Buyers Agency's Kane Dury chat with Ross, a former British Royal Marine Commando whose property journey started in his early 20s.

Ross' life changed when he picked up a book about property investment, which opened his eyes to the possibility of passive income.

From the UK to Queensland, Ross has accumulated a wealth of high-yield properties that are now generating impressive annual rental returns.
