In this episode, Anubhav Agawal, founder of Find My Real Estate and self-made property investor, shares how he went from buying his first commercial property at just 18 to helping everyday Australians build wealth and create what he calls “early modern retirement” — the freedom to design a life of their choice.

Anubhav opens up about his powerful story of transformation, from a decade in senior IT and consulting to pursuing his true passion for real estate. We talk about how life’s challenges can be invitations to grow, the importance of taking strategic action, and how to move past the fears that hold so many people back from building wealth.

If you’re thinking about stepping into the property market or searching for guidance on your next move, this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and the reminder that securing your next property is within reach.

⚡ Your Thrive and Shine Strategy with Anubhav:

• Why Most People Stay Stuck Forever: The real cost of inaction, what the media gets wrong, and why there’s no such thing as “perfect timing” in property.

• How to Break Into the Market:

• Don’t over-engineer — your first home doesn’t need to be your dream home, just a stepping stone.

• Leverage momentum — equity and confidence from your first purchase fuel the next.

• Learn about the Home Guarantee Scheme, which now has unlimited spots and allows first home buyers to get in with as little as a 5% deposit.

• For Anyone Ready to Build:

• Turn your pain points into your competitive edge — how Anubhav used his own mistakes with house and land packages to gain valuable lessons.

• Hunt for opportunities — with the right research, the right areas always hold potential.

• Transform your toughest lessons into your strongest insights — and build smarter, stronger portfolios with the wisdom of those who’ve been there before.
