In 2014 we set about creating myproperties.com; a peer-to-peer community for property investors with a difference. Our aim was to bring together like minded investors and create a virtual community focused on building the social capital of the community, supporting and motivating each other, while building confidence with new investors. Business, property and IT are in our DNA so putting them together to form myproperties.com was easy.

Property Bootcamp began as our onboarding programme for myproperties.com. We wanted to optimise the experience for new members of the community by spending time interacting and sharing our collective knowledge - a role of stewardship in a space where collaboration rather than competition is the mantra. Property Bootcamp became so popular and powerful as a members only programme that we decided to open it up to everyone.

People involved in Property Bootcamp are passionate about property; some may say obsessed! We come from all walks of life - IT, human resources, builders, account managers, mums, dads, partners, caregivers, grand parents, lawyers, vets, rugby players – and we love sharing with those who share our passion. We have a thirst for learning, we love to innovate and we know taking action is what makes the difference.

Armin commenced her property career in her early twenties in Queensland, Australia. She carved out a successful career as a licensed real estate agent for over 10 years before going on to complete a Bachelor degree in Business followed by an MBA.

Having invested in her first property with her partner in 1986, Armin brings a dynamic mix of both personal and professional experience in property and business. Knowing first-hand the hurdles and commonly made mistakes in the property industry, she is driven in assisting people to address and understand these challenges.

By merging her industry experience with her passion for property, people and technology, Armin has successfully introduced a unique, fresh and alternative approach to the way property investors go about their business.

Penny is the IT guru having come from a background as an IT developer. Her IT skills are put to perfect use by working with developers to ensure our cloud platform runs like a well oiled Honda 400 Four motorcycle!

Her precise planning and analytical skills, have served her well in her own property investment journey. About twenty years ago, Penny was faced with the same conflict most first home buyers experience; buying their ideal property with limited access to funding. Recognising that better value would be found by considering locations outside of her preferred area, Penny amended her focus accordingly. To make her money go even further, she took an unorthodox approach at the time and invested in her dream home 50/50 with a friend. This was the start of her own successful investment property portfolio.

Penny has gained considerable property investing experience since then, and is passionate about sharing everything she’s learnt with first home buyers and budding property investors alike. She understands that everyone is investing for the same reasons: their future financial security; which is why she is committed to helping other’s succeed.
