The McCarthy Interview

 

BRW is giving you the chance of a lifetime to win a one-week internship with Harry Triguboff, the man in charge of Meriton, and one of Australia’s greatest property investors. What an opportunity to learn the secrets of investment property first hand!

If you have done your homework on success in Australian property, you will certainly have heard of Harry Triguboff. If you live in Sydney or the Gold Coast, you may even be living in an apartment he built.

BRW is offering three lucky people the unique opportunity to work with Harry Triguboff as an intern for one week. If you’ve watched the TV series The Apprentice featuring American entrepreneur Donald Trump, where a dozen ambitious candidates vie to win their way into the Trump organization, just think about what a great opportunity this really is! Three winners will each work for ‘Rich Uncle Moneybags’ Triguboff for a week, with the perks of a return flight to Sydney and free accommodation, a miniPRO hand held projector and fifteen minutes of fame on BRW TV and the BRW website.

For the lucky winners it will be an unbelievable experience that will kick-start their property investment portfolio, and it will certainly be a week to remember and talked about forever!

About Harry Triguboff:

Harry Triguboff was born in China to Russian-Jewish parents. He was schooled at the prestigious Scots College in Sydney's Bellevue Hill. After a university degree in textiles awarded at Leeds University and a stint in that industry, he came back to Australia to turn his hand to various trades. He finally settled with his own business, Meriton, in 1963 and has been building apartment blocks ever since.

Meriton is a company that develops apartments in Sydney and South Eastern Queensland. They have made use of the growing need for inner-city accommodation in those areas, and with their large capital base, they don’t rely on banks to fund their projects. In terms of price range, more than half their apartments are over $600,000.

Today, Triguboff is worth $3.7 billion and lives in an apartment in World Square. Since starting Meriton, he has retained 4,000 of the 50,000 apartments his company has built.

His primary buying strategy has been to avoid the extremes of the price range – buying too cheap a property yields too little profit, and buying the most expensive properties comes with too much risk. Quite a simple philosophy when you think about it.

Already you are learning pearls of wisdom! Good luck for your chance!

Of course, spending a week with Mr Triguboff is not the only way to gain the insight and support to start your property investment portfolio.
