About Us
Az and Em are Freedom Chasers by exhilaration and Professional Property Investors by determination. Their passion to demonstrate to everyday Australian’s that you don’t have to have money to make money is obvious in their pursuits to help others. It’s through working together where true wealth is realised.
We are definitely NOT the status quo.
In fact our strategies in real estate could even be described as slightly unorthodox. In thinking outside the box, we are able to turn obstacles into opportunities that benefit more people than just ourselves.
From renovating people’s properties with no upfront costs to them, to creating ways to offer Landlords higher than market rent, and showing people how to acquire Real Estate with little or no money, we believe in working together to create win/win scenarios and a more beneficial outcome for all. We believe that collaboration always wins out over competition.
Azza and I are also very excited to be secretly working away on an exciting up and coming new show for one of the major mainstream TV networks in Australia, soon to be released in June 2017. We feel very grateful to have this opportunity and it has made us even more determined and motivated to extend the reach of what we do even further.
Meet Emily
Currently a Real Estate Coach to many successful clients, as well as a Master Wealth Creation Coach for Peak Potentials in the U.S.A, Emily has developed much of her success through the power of Collaboration. A big believer in win/win scenarios, Emily wanted to empower other investors/home owners to create the same success & believes that “Up Your Rent” is the perfect vehicle to do so!
As founder of “Empower You TV”, the place to go for every- thing “Wealth, Health & Self” Emily interviews across the globe. Empower You TV is home to the fastest growing community of motivated, like minded entrepreneurs & Property Investors.
Emily loves helping everyday motivated people take their lives from where they are right now to where they want to be by lifting the lid on their own limitations.
Emily began her personal journey 20 years ago in Entertainment and performed for 15 years in Major Shows all over the world. Starting her career as a performer onboard Princess Cruise Lines, then going on to perform the lead role in one of the most physically demanding high risk shows in the world, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Starlight Express’. This was followed up by a string of hit musical’s in Germany & London’s West End Including; ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘Me & My Girl’, ‘Xanadu’ & “Eugen Onegin”at the prestigious ‘London Opera House’, & finishing off as a regular guest presenter for the international in home shopping channel QVC.
6 years ago Emily decided to end the “hand to mouth” lifestyle as an actor and take charge of her financial future and pursue her true passion. Helping Empower the lives of others. 4 years ago, a then broke Emily, discovered how to get into Real Estate with little or none of her own money and went on to do 9 property deals in 3.5 years starting with only $1000! However, the world of traditional “rental tenants” proved less than desirable. Emily knew, there had to be a better way to create passive income from her Real Estate Investments.
On the basis of that success, friends and family wanted to know how she did it. Teaming up with Tradie Sensation Aaron Thompson, Emily is passionate to show motivated everyday people that when you lift the lid on your own limitations & allow yourself to think outside the square, then suddenly the world opens up to an abundance of opportunity that you didn't even know existed! Success is for anyone!
The dynamic duo are also thrilled to be filming a new documentary with a major Australian TV network for an exciting up and coming show in 2016. Watch this space!
Meet Azza
Originally a country boy from Yarrawonga VIC, Aaron started his career as a sought after Waterskiing Instructor, where he also performed in the well known annual Mulwala Ski Show for tourists!
Aaron is an accomplished Tradesman/Builder as well as an active Property Investor himself. Starting construction as a professional plasterer, he has since expanded to include multiple trades, project management and renovating property & flipping it for profit.
Aaron has worked behind the scene’s on Channel 9’s “The Block”, as well as featuring in the new Channel 7 show “Aussie Property Flippers”.
However, as an investor himself, his experience of traditional rental tenants wasn’t always rosy! Having felt the pain of non paying tenants, the lack of care and respect they demonstrated to his properties, he knew that it was not a sustainable nor an enjoyable way to continue holding his investments. He tried his hand at ‘student accomodation’ as a strategy, with all it’s promoted ‘perks’ and quickly realised that this too had equally as many down sides. Including having to prepare and cook meals for the boarding guests!!
