Simon Lacey Unearths Power of Wealth Creation via Property at Age 15

Australian Property Investor

Show Notes

Simon Lacey, founder of Lacey Elite Buyers Agents, has always taken to outfitting himself with a positive outlook and thirst for a better future. That is why when he discovered his love for real estate at age 15, and his eyes were opened to the potential of wealth creation through property, he dug his heels in the ground and immediately got to work as an apprentice in his late teens and saved up. Thus, sooner than later, harnessing the power of leveraging, he purchased his very first investment property at 21 years old.

Since then, he has amassed 26 properties, and now helps steer others towards the same financial freedom he enjoys today —proving this Melburnian as a man of action! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
