Most 18-year-olds are worried about uni, flatting or getting their licence … not about mortgage rates and tenant cashflow.

But Kaylee is different. At just 18, she bought her first rental property. And she didn’t need a $150k deposit to do it.

In this episode, we unpack Kaylee’s story – and what her journey can teach parents and young Kiwis about getting into the property market early.

You’ll learn:

  • How Kaylee built a $350k portfolio before turning 20

  • Why her parents made her save 50% of everything she earned as a kid

  • The property investment structure they used to make it all work
