Raised in Mount Druitt, a challenging neighborhood in Western Sydney, Eddie's upbringing was marked by financial hardship and single-parent struggles. Determined to break the cycle of poverty, Eddie began his journey to financial independence at a young age, starting with humble jobs at KFC and McDonald's. Inspired by a colleague's success in property investment, Eddie embarked on a journey of learning and self-improvement, eschewing material temptations for long-term financial freedom. Through discipline and sacrifice, he saved enough for a deposit on a unit in Central Coast, NSW, laying the foundation for a thriving property portfolio that now exceeds 80 properties. In 2016, Eddie founded Dilleen Property with a mission to empower ordinary Australians with the knowledge and tools to achieve their own financial goals through property investment.
