In this episode, I sit down with a very close friend and now colleague, Kumsy, whose journey is as grounded as it is inspiring. Born in Sri Lanka and later moving to New Zealand, we’ve shared not just friendship, but a passion for building wealth through smart property moves. Kumsy has been hands-on with multiple deals over the years — from subdivisions to granny flats and clever buy-and-holds. His track record speaks volumes about his eye for opportunity and his deep understanding of strategy.

Now part of our team at The Wealth Engineers, we’re proud to have someone of his calibre and character on board. Tune in to hear his personal journey, his key learnings, and what he’s most excited about in the property world today.

In this episode of The Investor Journeys Podcast, I sit down with Tim Graham, General Manager of Hotspotting, to unpack a story that’s far more layered than just property data. We dive into Tim’s childhood, his international travels, and how a love for people and place ultimately led him into the world of real estate. From doing international trips to now settling in Melbourne with his family, Tim shares how those experiences shaped the way he sees property, business, and life. We talk about his path into Hotspotting, the evolution of his investing strategy, and how he’s built a portfolio that includes multiple asset classes — not just traditional residential property. This conversation blends human story with market insight, and Tim brings a unique perspective from both the analytical and emotional sides of real estate. Whether you're early in your journey or expanding into new strategies, there's something in this episode for you.

🎧 Tune in now to hear Tim’s journey and the insights he's picked up along the way.

In this episode of Investor Journeys, we sit down with an inspiring guest who proves that your starting point doesn’t define your future. Growing up in commission housing, he knew what it meant to do things the hard way. But through determination, strategy and a long-term mindset, he and his wife have built a property portfolio most people only dream about. After meeting in regional NSW — each having already purchased an investment property — they moved to Canberra, where they designed and built three homes within just a few years. Today, they control five portfolios worth around $4 million with an impressive 50% LVR, and they’re not done yet. This is a real story of building wealth from humble beginnings, showing that with the right plan and persistence, anything is possible. If you’re starting with limited resources or wondering how to scale your portfolio, this episode will give you the motivation and insights to take action.
