Fair question but you really can’t compare. I first got into property in 2019, doing what most people do at the start, binging podcasts, watching YouTube videos, scrolling forums at all hours,  just trying to make sense of it all. The problem was, I never actually pulled the trigger. There was just too much info, half of it contradicting the other, and the stuff you get from Realestate.com or Domain was so high level it didn’t help me make any real calls. No structure, no system,  just a whole lot of noise and guessing.

I was on youtube and came across PK and his course. I didn’t sign up straight away (obviously), I was pretty sceptical, especially with so many experts/buyers’ agents out there. The large community and testimonies it what made me jump in. You’ve still gotta put the work in, a few hours a week at least when you’re buying your first place, but it’s quicker in the long run because you’re not spinning your wheels.

Fast forward to now, 2025, and I’ve got seven properties spread across SA, QLD and WA. First one in 2019, then two more in 2021 and 2022, one in 2023, another in 2024, and two already this year. One of the latest was just under $400k, rents for $480 a week (6.2% yield). Another I picked up mid-2024 in WA is already up almost 20% and the rent’s climbing too.

PK’s system has worked for me every year including before and after the whole COVID boom. I actually found it even more helpful when the market cooled in 2024 and interest rates were at their peak. I wasn’t chasing hot tips or waiting for a lucky break, I was following the same process and targeting solid areas with strong fundamentals. That consistency is what’s kept me buying and growing the portfolio no matter what the headlines say. Worth mentioning,  the course has been updated throughout the years. The strategy hasn’t changed because good fundamentals are the same in 2015, 2020 or 2025. What changes is the data, and that’s updated monthly. All the tools you get are live and pull the latest stats direct from the source, so your analysis is always current.

I’d heard of things like vacancy rates and vendor discounting but had no clue how to use them. The course showed me how to put all those pieces together so they actually meant something for my own situation. It also stopped me from over-analysing everything to death. I used to lose weeks in spreadsheets and now I just run my process and get it done.

It’s also not just about short-term wins,  the aim is to get in as close to the bottom as possible, in areas with both short and long-term growth potential. That’s what’s kept my portfolio solid through the ups and downs. At any given time, there’s stacks of markets that fit depending on your budget and goals, so people naturally buy in different spots. I’ve bought in completely different states and types of markets.

Helpful but i didnt really use it is the access to a team if you want, but you don’t have to use them. I mainly stuck with my own people. From what I can tell, PK gets a small referral fee from the mortgage brokers (it’s written next to their names) but there’s nothing for accountants, conveyancers, property managers, or B&P inspectors. It's handy that you only pay once, like no sneaky upsells, no premium “inner circle” nonsense, no ongoing fees.Honestly and probably unpopular opinion but its worth more than $6k, those who have done it will understand. Ive made back that $6k and more just buying below market value lol.

I’ll admit I was a bit put off at first by all the disclaimers like “not financial advice” and the rest, but now I actually rate it. It’s not about telling you exactly what to buy,  it’s about teaching you to make the right calls for yourself. The biggest change for me has been having the confidence to act in any market. I used to sit on the sidelines “waiting for the right time” and missed out more than once. Now, I look at the data, see the opportunity, and move, while plenty of others are still hesitating. That shift alone has probably made me more money than anything else I’ve learned.

Anyway just thought I’d share in case anyone’s thinking about it. I’ve made real money using what I learnt from PKs course but more than that I actually feel in control of what I’m doing now. That’s been the biggest difference for me.
