Back in late 2023 Danyel Murray connected with the team at RPG following some serious chats at the gym with exisitng investor Scott Dillon. Danyel, a business owner transitioned from running a successful commercial maintenance company and restaurant to building a diverse property portfolio in just 18 months. Danyel shares how he overcame the common fears of investing, why having the right financial team made all the difference, and how he strategically acquired four properties across Australia, each with a unique value-add strategy.

Key Takeaways from Danyel’s journey so far:

✔️ The first investment is the hardest – but it gets easier once you start.

✔️ Right advisors matter – Regular check-ins with an accountant, mortgage broker, and property strategist are crucial.

✔️ Interstate investing isn’t scary – If the numbers work, location shouldn’t be a barrier.

✔️ Each property should have an exit strategy – Always think about how you’ll offload or improve your investment.

✔️ Mindset shift is key – Moving from business earnings to property income requires a different perspective.

✔️ Cash flow buffers = peace of mind – Always have reserves for maintenance and vacancies.

✔️ Balancing personal & financial goals – Investing shouldn’t take over your life—find a strategy that works for you.
