How Selling Sausage Sandwiches At 14 Led Kimberly Linder to a 42 Property Portfolio
Season 8, Ep. 867
•
Kimberly Linder is a mortgage broker and real estate agent who has always had a passion for property. Together with her husband Jason, she now owns two businesses and just under 50 properties. Kimberly began by doing all the research for them and simply writing the finance, educating them along the way. From here she developed a niche business where they now operate as a one-stop-shop for their clients’ property needs, including financing, sourcing builders, project management, and property management.
Kimberly has raised five children, which is her proudest achievement in life. Her professional success has helped the eldest of her children begin their own property journeys, and some even work in the family business, drawing all of her passions together.
In this episode, you’ll hear about Kimberly’s childhood in the lower Blue Mountains, and her first entrepreneurial experience purchasing and expanding a $500 business on a local golf course. From here she dabbled in modelling and teaching before drawing on inspiration from her father— and a coffee date with a friend— and entering the property world. After buying her first property in Penrith for $121,000, she reveals the strategy that has allowed her a return of just under $1 million a year in income.
