Kurt Castell is an real estate investor based in Sydney. Inspired by how his grandfather build his wealth, Kurt developed a strong interest for property from a very young age. After saving up a substantial sum through disciplined work in landscaping plus stock investing, he has already bought his second property at the tender age of 23. In this episode of Property Uncovered, we uncover the mindset that led Kurt to invest from so young, the opportunity cost of not taking action, or why he saw hiring a buyer’s agent was a no brainer for him.

– “If you don’t know what you are doing, use people that do.”
