Sanjeev kicked off his property journey in India in 2009, but by 2015 he was already an established investors in Australia with two local properties under his belt.

Back when he had a corporate job in IT, he used to look outside his office window and wonder: “Is this everything in life?” He didn’t feel that he was fulfilling his potential and he couldn't see how he would ever achieve financial freedom.

Something has changed for Sanjeev in 2009, when he and his wife, Illa, bought a residential property and then commercial property in their homeland in India. They not only have financial assets but they also have somewhere to live if they will go back to India. That’s the time Sanjeev realised the potential of properties.

In 2014, Sanjeev and Illa bought an off-the-plan house in Sydney, which they moved into the following year. In 2015, they bought an off-the-plan unit in Sydney as an investment property.

That’s was the time when he wanted to learn everything about properties. He bought books, attended seminars and studied the market. With the blessing of his wife, he set himself a goal to quit his job by 2020 so he could become a full-time property investor.

His goal was not to become a filthy rich property mogul. He just wanted to achieve financial independence, to be able to spend time with his wife and beautiful daughter, Amaya, who was born in 2015.

Between 2014 and 2019, Sanjeev bought five properties and gained experience with renovation, subdivision and development. That was the start of Sanjeev’s journey towards his financial independence.

It wasn’t easy. He worked very hard. He made many mistakes and experienced a lot of fears and uncertainties.

But he had a powerful goal—to be able to live life on his terms and spend more time with his family. So he forced himself to overcome all those obstacles.

How this property investor quit his day job to work in a property full-time?

When Sanjeev quit his job in 2019 - one year ahead of schedule, he decided to become a buyer’s agent, so he could help others build wealth through property. He wanted to stop others from making the same mistakes he had made. He noticed that a lot of people throw themselves into property investment without a proper strategy and without clear goals. Others bought low-quality properties and invested in the wrong areas.

Sanjeev wants to educate people. He wants to talk about their goals and the wealth creation process, so they would understand the connection between property investment and their long-term future.

In just over a decade, Sanjeev Sah has built a solid passive income, one that has allowed him bid farewell to his fruitful job in IT and dedicate his time to helping others achieve their property investment dreams. It all started with his first property purchase in his home country India in 2009, and an impending move to Australia, where he would go on to establish himself not only as a serious property investor but a successful business owner.

2009, the year it all began.

He got married in 2009, and in 2010 his wife joined Sanjeev in Australia. She got a job too so life was going well. He was already living a dream life in Australia. But in 2011, they decided to purchase another investment property in India. At that time, Sanjeev had no intentions of purchasing a property in Australia. He admits to having been a little intimidated by Sydney’s hefty price tags. However, things shifted in 2013, following a visit from the parents.

His parents encouraged them to settle permanently in Australia, so he started thinking that he should start buying property in Australia. He though if he could see the success he saw in India, it would be amazing. Sanjeev was not only ruled to property by the promise of money. In fact, it was the arrival of his daughter that drove him to start thinking about the future of his family.

Hobbies

Sanjeev loves to swim especially with his daughter Amaya and to ride a Jetski. He is also now practicing Yoga to improve strength, balance and flexibility.

He is also into listening to audible books. As self-education is very important to him, he encourages everyone to read some of his favorite audible books such as the below:

Rich Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki Start with Why by Simon Sinek 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch Chasing Excellence by Ben Bergeron The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy Atomic Habits by James Clear Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renée A Purple Cow by Seth Godin

Sanjeev believes that “the more we give the more we get”. He loves giving back to the community. He also wants other people to understand how life transforms quickly. So investing in self-education is important. This means investing in audible books, listen to the experts and attend seminars, and put everything into action. These are the shortest but smartest ways to learn.
