Connections are the lifeblood of successful property investors. Be they real estate agents, property finders, or other investors, a strong network of those in the know can propel investors to great heights.
Shaun McGivern has used his network of friends, family, property association members and others around him to create an impressive portfolio. His strategies are innovative (sometimes daring), but he started small and has built up his portfolio over time. And he’s continuing to innovate and expand, creating wealth along the way.
McGivern comes from a family of investors. His parents and grandparents used buy-and-hold and renovation strategies to accumulate portfolios, his father has also dabbled in subdivision and working as a real estate agent.
Growing up in Mt Albert, McGivern excelled at cricket and rugby. But, as he explains, property investment was always on the radar. “I loved Monopoly,” he laughs.
