100 Properties + $100M Portfolio: Here's His Next Big Move - Michael Xia

In this episode of My Next Property, Steve Ash sits down with Michael Xia - founder of Mortgage Channel, 100+ property portfolio owner, and one of Australia's most experienced property investors - to break down his exact strategy for building a $100M portfolio from scratch. Michael reveals why he's now buying old red brick units in Sydney for as low as $435K (cheaper than Brisbane!), why Melbourne's bottom was Australia Day 2024, and how the boring "rinse and repeat" approach to property investing beats flashy strategies every time.
