How a Couple in Their 30s Could Retire by 43 on $500K+ p.a. Through Strategic Property Investment
📊 Shares vs Property: A Powerful Contrast
Had this couple invested $97,000 into the ASX 200 Index in 2018, their portfolio might now be worth around $168,000, assuming average market growth of ~8% p.a.
Instead, guided by inSynergy’s data-driven strategy, their investment has produced $1.76 million in equity across a $5.54 million property portfolio. That’s a 1,711% return or a 51.3% compound annual growth rate – a result that dramatically outperformed traditional investments.
💬 How It Began
In 2018, aged just 30 and 31, this couple had $145,000 in cash savings. Without owning a home, they used $97,000 to fund their first property purchase – a land and build opportunity in Brisbane, while setting aside the remaining $48,000 as a financial buffer.
inSynergy helped them structure this wisely, allowing them to invest with confidence and protect their position from the start.
🔄 Growth Through Strategy and Structure
Over the next several years, inSynergy’s modelling, support, and market insights helped the couple expand their portfolio into Brisbane, Canberra, and Adelaide – leveraging rising equity to acquire more property while maintaining their safety net.
In 2024, they released $100,000 in equity to rebuild their cash buffer, ensuring they could continue to grow securely and proactively manage risk.
📈 The Results (2025)

| Total ROI | ~1,711% |
| Annualised ROI (CAGR) | ~51.3% p.a. |
Their journey proves that with the right structure and support, an initial five-figure investment can unlock seven-figure outcomes.
