Fun Facts About This Australian Property Investor

Welcome to the ultimate analysis of PK Gupta’s net worth for 2023.

I really admire many young Australian go-getters who openly share their secrets and strategies.

I’ve created many profiles of successful people on this blog. These are to highlight the various ways people have built 6 and 7-figure careers or have retired early in life.

I hope to inspire you to begin or continue on your investing journey.

About Me

I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been building profitable content sites since 2011.

Today, in addition to managing my own portfolio, I actively help others on their journey.

How Did PK Gupta Get So Rich?

PK Gupta began investing around 12 years ago and alongside his wife, they now own 11 investment properties and 1 PPOR. These properties are ALL PAID OFF as PK has zero debt in his life due to development projects in years prior.

Essentially, he took the profits from his development projects (he’s done 5!) to pay down his investment property debts, as well as profits from private equity deals too. And yes, he’s also made some money via course sales in recent years.

While he has no debt currently, PK has publicly stated that he’s seeking to buy a couple of commercial properties in the $3m to $5m range at the moment. He’s aiming to leverage at 70% but even at this high LVR, these commercial properties will undoubtedly be positively geared.

But just because PK is now focused on commercial property investing in the coming years, he does advocate that people start with residential to learn the ropes, because commercial is higher risk and a lot can go wrong.

Where Are PK Gupta’s Properties?

Here’s a breakdown of each property that PK Gupta has bought during his journey:

Property 1: East Gosford (NSW) Year: 2011 Purchase Price: $320k Valuation: $340k Rent Per Week: $400 Current Value: $850k Current Rent: $550	Property 2: Frankston (VIC) Year: 2012 Purchase Price: $315k Valuation: $340k Rent Per Week: $310 Current Value: $1.1m Current Rent: $500
Property 3: Kingston (TAS) Year: 2013 Purchase Price: $311k Valuation: $335k Rent Per Week: $350 Current Value: $650k Current Rent: $530	Property 4: Mt Sheridan (QLD) Year: 2015 Purchase Price: $400k Valuation: $400k Rent Per Week: $400 Current Value: $500k Current Rent: $545
Property 5: Islington (NSW) Year: 2015 Purchase Price: $507k Valuation: $550k Rent Per Week: $480 Current Value: $880k Current Rent: $650	Property 6: Ferny Hills (QLD) Year: 2016 Purchase Price: $480k Valuation: $500k Rent Per Week: $440 Current Value: $850k Current Rent: $600
Property 7: Burnie (TAS) Year: 2016 Purchase Price: $230k Valuation: $230k Rent Per Week: $260 Current Value: $520k Current Rent: $430	Property 8: Petrie (QLD) Year: 2017 Purchase Price: $350k Valuation: $370k Rent Per Week: $380 Current Value: $600k Current Rent: $550
Property 9: Vrindavan, India Year: 2021 Purchase Price: $420k Valuation: $600k Rent Per Week: $500 Current Value: $600k Current Rent: $500	Property 10: Garbutt (QLD) Year: 2021 Purchase Price: $430k Valuation: $430k Rent Per Week: $960 Current Value: $700k Current Rent: $960
Property 11: Brisbane City (QLD) Year: 2021 Purchase Price: $995k Valuation: $1,100k Rent Per Week: $1,060 Current Value: $1.3m Current Rent: $1160	Property 12: Sorrento (QLD) Year: 2022 Purchase Price: $3.05m Current Valuation: $3.5m Rent Per Week: Current PPOR

So yes, quite an achievement!

With these 12 properties, and based on his equity position, placing his net worth at $15,000,000 Australian dollars is reasonably accurate.

How Much Has PK Gupta Made From His Course?

This is the elephant in the room, isn’t it?

I think we can all agree that PK has definitely made money from his course.

He has 1,200 students and let’s assume that most of these paid $6,000. After paying his helpful team, plus some expenses on email software and other tools, PK probably yields $3,000/student or around $2,000 after tax.

So 1,200 students x $2,000 = $2,400,000 AUD from course sales over the past 7ish years. Not bad at all! 😃

However, I have seen other Australian educators like Adam Hudson and Sophie Howard make significantly more during these past few years.

But unlike those two, PK has provided hundreds of free videos on his highly popular YouTube channel.

The X Factor

So what makes PK’s story and strategy so unique?

➜ He NEVER bought new houses or apartments

➜ He didn’t quit his job too early in his journey

➜ He didn’t negatively gear his properties

➜ He never used ‘hope, wish and pray’ as a strategy

➜ He used data to become a borderless investor, rather than relying on buyer’s agents

➜ He’s never made anyone run in a seminar room

And most importantly, he played the long game (10+ years) rather than trying for quick wins and easy money.

He recently interviewed Bushy who has a surprisingly similar strategy:

Fun fact: My first IP was also in Aldinga Beach, South Australia.

Closing Thoughts

I’m so inspired by PK’s success as a property investor, even if we don’t always agree on things.

From watching so many videos and doing his course (read the review here), there are key lessons that can propel our lives forward, both on a business and personal level.

My key takeaways include:

➜ A 6-figure income certainly does help

➜ Avoid negatively geared properties or areas

➜ Anyone can become a borderless investor

➜ Create your own 10-year and 20-year strategy

And as always, do your own research and due diligence before spending a dollar. 👍

Fun Facts About This Aussie Legend

Welcome to the ultimate analysis of Milton Jones for 2023.

I truly admire the success of many self-made business icons who have insights that we can learn from.

The goal of these profiles is to show you the different ways people have built 6 and 7-figure careers. I hope to inspire you to create your own success online, starting today.

About Me

I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been building profitable content sites since 2011.

Today, in addition to managing my own portfolio, I actively help others on their journey.

How much does Milton Jones from Coolibah Station make?

Milton Jones probably has a take-home salary of around $75,000 AUD per month. This is derived from cattle sales and mustering.

He doesn’t have a mortgage to pay so he saves most of what he earns. He was finally-free around 4 decades ago but chose to adopt a life in the bush and raise his family in a unique environment.

Common Praise

Milton’s admired and respected because of his work ethic, family values and determination to solve problems that arise on Coolibah Station.

Common Red Flags

Milton gets criticism from the city folk because he works too hard and sometimes pushes his apprentices. However, Coolibah Station is no kindergarten, and most people from the city wouldn’t last more than 5 minutes.

The X Factor

So what makes Milton and his team unique?

➜ He bought the station for 100% cash around 35 years ago

➜ He’s a man of the land who lives and breathes hard work

➜ He cares a ton about his family and their future success

➜ He owns 1,000,000+ acres, making him one of Australia’s biggest land holders

And despite having more than enough to hang up the RM Williams hat and retire early, Milton continues to work. He ain’t planning a big lap anytime soon.

My Verdict

Like many, I became aware of Milton and his story from the popular TV show that’s now on YouTube. His work ethic and never messing around is empowering for anyone out there.

From watching so many videos, there are key lessons that can propel our lives forward, both on a business and personal level.

My key takeaways include:

➜ Hard work WILL get you places

➜ Don’t be afraid to sweat it out

➜ Real opportunities are out there

➜ Start building your A-team

And remember that 99% of Australians won’t be willing to build an empire like Milton has. That means you’re only competing with the 1% like myself. 😉

Welcome to the ultimate analysis of Lamor Whitehead for 2023.

Many Pastors have have insightful journeys and sometimes teach us what not to do.

The goal of these profiles is to show you the different ways people have built lucrative 6 and 7-figure careers online. I also like to highlight where individuals aren’t as they seem.

About Me

I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been exposing bad actors since 2011 via this blog.

A reader asked me to audit the infamous Lamor Whitehead who I’ve come across numerous times.

How much does Lamor Whitehead make and how?

I would estimate that at every Sunday service within his Leaders of Tomorrow Church, Lamor Whitehead makes around $7,000. That’s probably tax-exempt too… 🤑

In some months, Lamor would probably make up to $50k through church donations. After paying for the electricity bill and property taxes for his church, he’s able to spend what’s left on his lavish lifestyle and convince his followers of his success.

Creator Praise

Many of his followers praise him for his success and wisdom.

However, Lamor and his church are surrounded by a ton of negativity.

Creator Red Flags

As I’ve alluded to in this article, Lamor has become the king of controversy.

He’s notorious because:

➜ He was arrested on several occasions

➜ He went to prison previously for 5 years

➜ Claims of fraud and pending lawsuits (his trial is set for April 11th)

➜ Not paying his car repayments and mortgage on time

➜ Taking money from his church followers

One of my favorite YouTubers, Josie Naikoi (Not The Good Girl) did this insightful documentary recently:

It’s definitely worth the watch. Well researched and much respect for putting this out there!

My Verdict

I’m so inspired by their success on YouTube. From watching so many videos, there are key lessons that can propel our lives forward, both on a business and personal level.

My key takeaways include:

➜ Never trust a Pastor that dresses rich

➜ Look out for true clowns in the world

➜ Do not (at all) believe in blind faith

➜ Stay humble, even if you do become wealthy

And always do your research before ever spending a dollar with ANYONE.

Fun Facts About This YouTuber

Welcome to the ultimate analysis of Scott Shafer for 2023. I am one of his biggest fans who has watched more than 90% of his videos.

Now, Scott has no impact on this article here and while I’m a fan, I’ve tried to keep this neutral.

I admire success of many YouTube creators who have insights that we can learn from.

The goal of these profiles is to show you the different ways people have built 6 and 7-figure careers. I hope to inspire you to create your own success online, starting today.

About Me

I’m Joshua Smith from Australia. I have been building profitable content sites since 2011.

Today, in addition to managing my own portfolio, I actively help others on their journey.

How much does Scott Shafer make and how?

Scott Shafer makes barely anything notable on YouTube.

On average, he makes less than $1,000 per month on YouTube through YouTube ads.

He discusses his YouTube earnings in this video:

I’m assuming that many of Scott’s fans have a YouTube Premium subscription. Therefore, we don’t see ads and he misses out on that revenue.

In addition, I would estimate that Scott makes an additional $1,000 per month through affiliate links to stock trading platforms and Amazon Associates. You’ll see this in his video description.

As noted in the video, Scott has another channel called Theme Park Galaxy which pays pennies.

So despite having 127,000+ subscribers, Scott Schafer is still only making a part-time income of around $2,000 per month through YouTube ads and affiliate links.

At least Scott has his integrity in tact and hasn’t sold his soul to sell courses or trading schemes.

I’m unsure if Scott has a full-time job or business outside of being a YouTube creator. His 3rd channel, Crypto Jedi, which has also been controversial, has not been updated in 12 months now.

Creator Praise

Many fans, including myself, like Scott because:

➜ He cuts through all the BS on YouTube

➜ He’s not afraid to go after the big guys

➜ He is a rational guy with clear communication

➜ He doesn’t use annoying jumpcuts in his videos

Uniquely, Scott does recommend buying courses, provided the creator has real-world results. This is something I do agree with and as of right now, the most non-guru course I’ve come across is one by Shane Dutka.

Creator Red Flags

Despite his fame, Scott Shafer isn’t without some controversy, but this is incredibly small compared to other creators.

The biggest thing that people call him out for is his greenscreen setup and almost-identical background to Coffeezilla. Is he trying to copy Stephen’s channel?

Scott does consider Coffeezilla to be an idol of his but Scott’s delivery is broader and sometimes, easier to digest in my experience.

I also noticed that Scott has copied Not The Good Girl‘s background, or did she copy his? Either way, I respect both creators a ton.

So if modeling other creators is the worst thing that Scott’s done, then he’s still doing 10x better than the ‘creators’ that he calls out.

Scott’s Enemies

Scott has called out numerous creators during his several years on YouTube.

Most recently, these include:

➜ Spencer Cornelia

This is weird as I thought they’d be friends rather than enemies. Scott called out Spencer in several videos, including this one:

This is a fair argument as Spencer appeared to sell out. Spencer contacted me privately to explain his side of the story but has asked me not to share publicly.

Spencer believes that Scott has no journalistic integrity, as was discussed in this video:

However, Spencer’s opinion about Scott’s lack of journalistic integrity is just ridiculous.

Scott’s done a ton to call out the bad actors.

Keep in mind that I’m also a huge fan of Spencer.

➜ EchoesFromAbove

This YouTuber (as featured in the 3-hour live stream above) makes some weak arguments against Scott in my opinion, particularly in this video:

It’s good to see a second opinion of your favorite Youtubers, even if you’re a fan of Scott like I am. Originally, he copied Scott’s own thumbnails.

➜ Logan Paul

After Coffezilla’s year-long investigation, Scott jumped on the bandwagon and then shifted his attention to exposing Logan’s PRIME energy drink:

However, I don’t think Logan really cares about a YouTuber’s opinion. Some sources say that he’s made millions by selling his energy drinks across the world!

He’s also called out:

➜ Meet Kevin (He went hard on the DUI case)

➜ Tai Lopez

➜ Established Titles (his most remarkable take-down!)

➜ Andrei Jikh

➜ All In With Ari

➜ Tom Nash (another remarkable take-down and props to Scott for not exposing Tom’s private info)

➜ Shelby Church

➜ Jeremy Financial

➜ Andrew Tate (I do like Tate but it was good to see Scott’s perspective)

➜ Kevin David

➜ Kevin Zhang

➜ Humbled Trader (her response video was hilarious)

➜ Nine University

➜ Caleb Maddix

➜ Dan Lok

➜ Dan Vas

➜ Strong Man Personal Finance

➜ HeavyDSparks

➜ Kamikoto Knives

Sadly, due to huge fan bases of their audiences and Scott providing his opinion, research and insights, he’s been the victim of doxing:

This is one of the toughest parts of doing investigative journalism. As a blogger, I’ve experienced these challenges myself. 😔 As has Coffeezilla on occasions.

My Verdict

I’m so inspired by Scott’s success on YouTube in exposing the bad actors in the industry. From watching so many of his engaging videos, Scott has both inspired and saved so many people.

I might not agree with everyone that Scott has to say, but his journey highlights key lessons that can propel our lives forward, both on a business and personal level.

My key takeaways include:

➜ Always seek a second opinion

➜ Play the long game rather than chasing quick wins (For instance, I’ve been building this blog for 12 years!)

➜ You can learn everything for free on YouTube

➜ Avoid the $5,000+ courses (commonly a rip-off in my opinion)

➜ Build an online business that genuinely has legs

Like Scott, I recommend being wary of extravagant promises online.

Play the long game, make sacrifices and don’t expect ANYTHING in your first year.

And the best (and safest) way to make money online?

Either take your existing job online or become a freelancer. 👍
