Michael Yardney began his property investment journey over 50 years ago in the early 1970’s with a single, modest property costing $18,000 which he bought in partnership with his parents. They each put down a $1,000 deposit and took a $16,000 loan over 20 years. Over time, he learned the ropes, made mistakes, and gradually built a multi-million-dollar property portfolio.
