My Journey to $1 Million: Owning a Sydney Home, 4 Investment Properties & 100+ Happy Clients
When I first arrived in Australia as a new migrant in 2013, I was excited to buy my first home in Sydney—one of the most expensive cities in the world. But I quickly realized how overwhelming and confusing the process could be. I lacked true guidance and genuine help, and I spent over two years just trying to understand the property market.
By the time I felt ready, property prices in my desired areas had risen by more than $200,000. That was my wake-up call—a moment that changed my perspective entirely. Instead of focusing solely on buying a home, I decided to learn how to grow my money first.
I dove deep into property investment, learning from gurus, experts, books, and mentors. It wasn’t easy, but every lesson paid off. Today, I’m proud to say that I’ve turned that knowledge into incredible achievements:
4 rental properties
A beautiful home in Sydney
A duplex project in Sydney
A 5-townhouse development near Brisbane

Booking the discovery call with Gratitude Property Buyers was one the the best things that happened to us in our investment journey. Now, this is coming from someone who had bought investment properties before and so was totally experienced. Manoj showed us how a pro investor selects the right suburb based on proper research. He not only recommends a suburb or a property but fully explains his research methodology and the rationale behind recommending something. While the national property market was declining in late 2022 & early 2023, the suburb Manoj recommended for us was growing with new homes listed being snapped up within days. Manoj’s team was not only able to find us a property before it was even listed on domain.com.au but, could also negotiate a great purchase price. We ourselves wouldn’t have been able to buy the property at that price. This itself makes their fees totally worth it. If we consider the opportunity cost of investing in a wrong suburb (which we were considering doing before the discovery call) no doubt the fees paid seems minuscule in comparison. Manoj and team are super easy to talk to, very professional in their communications and kept us informed through out the process. We have recommended Gratitude Property Buyers to family and friends and we will be buying our next property with them as well. Thank you, team Gratitude!Posted on Harman SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Manoj as our buyer's agent was a fantastic experience! He helped us purchase our first property in Gledswood Hills, Sydney, and made the entire process seamless. Manoj was always approachable and patient, addressing all our questions and doubts with clarity. His knowledge and expertise gave us the confidence we needed to make such an important decision. We couldn't have asked for a better guide on our journey to homeownership. Highly recommend his services!Posted on Critique ThinkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manoj Mali at Gratitude Property made life easy for us. You could say that he is the encyclopaedia of Dummy’s guide to Property buying. He broke down different aspects of it for us in such simple terms and helped and guided us through the process that it felt like a walk in the park. Manoj is a humble, sincere and hardworking individual and you need people like him who you can trust when taking a difficult decision like us of buying property in a different city. The people that he works with are also trustworthy and made it easy for us to plunge in this world. Thanks Manoj for helping us buy a property in Perth. Hope you continue to be the person that you are. Best of Luck.Posted on Arunachalam RamananthamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am really happy that I have contacted Manoj and involved him in my home buying process. Considering my limited knowledge with the area that I have targeted, Manoj helped me a lot in getting me enough support whenever and wherever required in every step. If you just go to Manoj with your idea of buying a house for any good reasons, Manoj will guide you appropriately and take you through and will be with you throughout the complete buying process, from due diligence to settlement (and more). He was also a good price negotiator in my view. Overall, I recommend for anyone just thinking of buying a house anywhere in Australia. Thanks Manoj for your great support!!Posted on Asit MishraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
