In this episode of Investment by Design, I’m joined by my wife, Nicole Craike, as we open up about our real property investing journey, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. We share the real story behind how we started investing in property, the mistakes we made, and the lessons that helped us grow a diverse portfolio across Cairns, Townsville, and Port Douglas. From overcoming the fear of debt to finding off-market opportunities and managing risk, this conversation is an honest look at what it really takes to build wealth through Australian real estate.

Ken Turner shares his incredible journey of buying six properties in just 12 months, revealing the mindset, strategy, and lessons that helped him build his portfolio. He also dives deep into the Cairns real estate market, discussing what’s driving growth, where the best opportunities are, and his insights for both new and experienced investors.
