Head of Real Estate Strategy

Sarah started her property journey in 2013 with a single unit in Brisbane that she thought would be her retirement plan. Twelve years later, she's built a portfolio worth over .2 million and helps others avoid the costly mistakes she made early on.

Her background in data analysis gives her a unique perspective on market trends that most investors miss. She's particularly skilled at identifying emerging suburbs before they become popular with mainstream buyers.

Why Our Approach Works

We're not theory-based educators or property spruikers trying to sell you overpriced seminars. Every strategy we teach comes from our own investment experiences – both the wins and the expensive lessons.

Our team has collectively purchased over 40 investment properties across Australia, navigated multiple market cycles, and refined our methods through real-world application.

  • Combined property portfolio value exceeding million across our team
  • Direct experience with regional, metropolitan, and interstate investing
  • Understanding of both positive and negative cash flow strategies
  • Practical knowledge of renovation, development, and buy-and-hold approaches
  • Real relationships with brokers, accountants, and property professionals

Our Story

Skill Beam started because we were frustrated with the quality of property education available in Australia. Too much theory, not enough practical guidance.

"We believe property investment education should be honest, practical, and based on real experience. No get-rich-quick promises, no overpriced seminars – just solid strategies that work in the Australian market."
