Get started with property investing
18-year-old Kelly Gannon of Queensland (far right) was only 17 when she took part in the WildlyWealthyWomen.com nine month mentoring program. She was so inspired and committed to the teachings that by September when she turned 18, she had accumulated substantial funds to buy her first home and that’s exactly what she went out and did. Kelly has since kept in good touch with Dymphna and recently shared the stage with her at an event where Dymphna told others how it is possible for your 18 year old to buy their first home, and how parents can help them achieve this.
24-year-old Rebecca Mason of Blackwater, Queensland and her sister Kristine followed in their mother Judi Mason's footsteps with their property investing.
“I didn't know anything at all about money or property when I started, just that my mum did it and said “You've gotta do it.” But I LOVE IT! I have got so much out of it and I guess the biggest thing is that I’ve got a lot of choices. Before, I didn’t think I had any choices because I was young – I thought money was there to spend and live week by week – I had never looked at the big picture.”
Five months after taking part in the WildlyWealthyWomen.com nine month program which Dymphna co-founded, Rebecca, who is the mother of a four year old and a one year old and her partner are now the proud owner of their own home.
“We’re planning to pretty it up – all the hard work is done – the bathroom and the kitchen were done by the last owners, so it just needs a cosmetic make over. We think after we’ve done it we’ll sell it and what profit we can get out we’ll use to buy the next one, perhaps in Rockhampton as there are a lot of lovely older houses which would be good to renovate.”
Rebecca has also been sharing her knowledge with women in her local community.
“I work for a finance company and we've got a group of women who meet fortnightly. My boss gets a guest speaker to come in and go through some stuff mainly regarding property investment and I organise all the ladies and try and get new members in. I had a younger group who were around 20 and I was going through stuff with them trying to get them market ready.”
