While there may be many drunk accountants out there, these two are the only ones to wear the title so loud and proud they made it their (second) name. Dan Osborne and Tim Garth are directors at CATS Accountants on NSW’s Central Coast, a role Garth was born to play— just ask his dad (or ask what his initials spell if you read them backwards). He and CATS Accountants co-director Osborne host the podcast Two Drunk Accountants when they’re not accounting (sober, just to clarify), but this time it’s their turn in the limelight.In this episode the self-proclaimed podcountants attempt to play good cop bad cop for a moment, but their inherent good cop nature shines through soon enough.

His property portfolio is now worth over $11 million, with $6 million in equity, affording him the ultimate goal of financial freedom. He has a wealth of knowledge to share about property investment in general, with a current focus on southeast Queensland.In this episode we delve into the benefits of buying in blue collar suburbs with lower socioeconomic statuses than their neighbours. While many people see a prestigious suburb as the more desirable option, Loo has found time and time again— especially amid the latest boom— that this is often not the case. After all, the difference between suburbs can lead to an extra $60,000 in equity, propelling you to expand your portfolio beyond your initial expectations. A self-confessed ‘stubborn buyer’, Loo explains how being unemotional in your suburb choice can generate over $300,000 in growth in just one property, rather than taking 10+ properties to achieve the same result. While a Besser block house may not be your first choice, Loo recommends giving it— and that slightly less fancy suburb next door— a crack. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To round out our chat with owner of Mortgage Channel, Michael Xia, we’re reminded why it’s crucial not to jump into murky waters without checking what’s underneath. Or, in Xia’s case, what’s standing right in front of you on the street! What seems like the deal of the decade at the time can easily turn out to be a money trap, draining you of $70,000 before your very eyes. Despite hiccups along the way, Xia’s portfolio continues to grow in leaps and bounds— maybe one day his cupboard office will, too! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Weighing up the chances of his corporate career helping him achieve his goal of financial freedom, he realised it wasn’t going to cut it, and gave his dream a crack instead. While it wasn’t all beer and Skittles along the way, it certainly paid off in the end— but not before he found out the importance of identifying his goals, and chipping away at them to get the chiseled six pack (of sorts) he’d always wanted.
