"“My 4-year old the property investor” was a fascinating read and that’s what kickstarted my investment journey."

What started with a book became the beginning of a decade-long investment journey. Since then, he and his wife Laurie have continued to make the most of the opportunities available to them, building a four-property portfolio and creating greater financial flexibility for their future.

For Alan and his wife Laurie, property investing has been about making the most of the opportunities they’ve worked hard to create and building greater financial flexibility for their future.

Alan and Laurie joined OpenCorp in 2014 and began looking at how they could put their hard-earned savings to work. With Alan balancing a demanding career in the Navy, they stayed focused on the bigger picture, taking a long-term approach and investing when their circumstances and opportunities aligned.

Over the years, they’ve navigated changing property markets, rising interest rates and increasing servicing pressures while continuing to focus on their long-term goals.

In the past four years, Alan and Laurie have been fortunate enough to invest in four properties across Melbourne and South East Queensland. Today, their portfolio is estimated to be worth $4.14 million, with more than $2.1 million in total uplift.

For Alan, though, the journey is about more than the numbers. There’s a sense of contentment in knowing that he and Laurie seized the opportunities available to them and made the most of what they had worked hard to build.

 

"The biggest thing about OpenCorp was just the authenticity and transparency what the company was about. "

Alan feels fortunate he got on board with OpenCorp and trust has been at the heart of this relationship, giving him confidence in the team and the strategy throughout his investment journey.

Now, more than a decade into their journey with OpenCorp, Alan and Laurie are entering a new phase. Their focus is shifting from building their portfolio to optimising it, with the potential to sell a property in the future to clear their home debt while maintaining a strong investment base.

After years of staying committed to their strategy, Alan and Laurie have created something that matters beyond the value of their portfolio: more options, greater flexibility and a stronger financial foundation for their future.
