When it comes to building wealth through property investment, Sharon’s story is one that truly stands out. Over the past eight years, Sharon has partnered with OpenCorp, turning what started as curiosity into a transformative journey. See how Sharon achieved her goals with OpenCorp’s guidance.
Where it Began
Sharon’s venture into property investing with OpenCorp began with a book: My Four-Year-Old the Property Investor. A friend introduced her to the book, and Sharon was immediately inspired.
“I couldn’t put it down,” she recalls. “It was so easy to read and comprehend, and it just made sense.” Curious, and with her husband on board they contacted OpenCorp and scheduled their first appointment. From there, Sharon’s journey started.
Key Takeaways from Sharon’s Investment Journey
- The Right Time to Start is Now: One of Sharon’s biggest lightbulb moments came early: “There’s no right time in the market; the right time is now,” she says. This realisation drove her to act decisively, instead of waiting for “perfect” conditions.
- Leverage Equity, Not Savings: Sharon initially thought she needed to save a full deposit to invest, but OpenCorp’s team helped her unlock equity in her home. “I didn’t realise I could use equity instead of saving another deposit. That changed everything,” she explains.
- Trust the Process: While Sharon lives in a rural area, all her properties are in capital cities, purchased sight unseen. This approach might seem daunting, but for Sharon, it was about following proven strategies: “It’s not about buying with emotion. It’s about buying for financial performance and trusting that the process works.”
- Engagement and Education are Critical: What sets OpenCorp apart for Sharon is the dedication to client education and regular engagement. “The six-monthly reviews and constant communication keep you on track,” Sharon says. “You feel like part of the family when you’re an OpenCorp client.”
- Keep Your End Goal in Mind: Sharon’s investment strategy is driven by a clear vision: achieving financial independence. “We want to live the lifestyle we want, retire on our terms, and help our kids into the property market,” she shares.
The Results
Since partnering with OpenCorp in 2017, Sharon has acquired three properties across 3 different locations, achieving an impressive $448,000 in capital growth. What’s more, she’s done this with minimal time investment, spending just 18 hours with the OpenCorp team in portfolio reviews over the years.
“That’s $24,888 of capital growth per hour,” Sharon laughs. “It’s worth every minute.”
Further to regular portfolio reviews, Sharon stays up to date with market insights and any actionable advice through OpenCorp’s client Webinars, held exclusively for clients throughout the year.
