Platinum Coaches – Platinum Students Success – 17th September 2025

In this session, you’ll hear how Tamara Lloyd, a long-time real estate professional, transformed her career after selling her Ray White franchise and joined the I Love Real Estate Platinum program to pursue full-time property development. Within 18 months, she built a profitable and purpose-driven portfolio—combining smart strategy, fast action, and intuition.

From Sales to Strategy

After selling her business in 2022, Tamara joined I Love Real Estate and quickly upgraded to Platinum to accelerate her results. Her first step was purchasing and renovating her home before losing her borrowing capacity—adding strong value and setting the stage for multiple deals to follow.

The Projects

Tamara’s journey showcases a steady progression in skill and scale:

• Portland Units: Three-unit subdivision and renovation—her first test project, where she learned to match design standards to market demand.
• Regional NSW Units: Four-unit renovation with smoother execution, strong local agent support, and five-week sellout, producing around 15% return.
• Subdivision JV: Partnering with her former business colleague to subdivide, renovate, and build, gaining practical development experience and confidence.
• Beach House Extension: Adding a master suite and second bathroom to target the downsizer market, expected to return around $160K profit.
• Storage Facility Investment: A move into commercial property, expanding an existing self-storage site for an estimated 12% return, funded partly from her late father’s legacy.
• Three Luxury Townhouses: Her latest project—three ocean-view townhouses with pools and lifts—combining all she’s learned and guided by her long-term vision board.

Lessons in Action

Tamara’s story highlights key lessons every investor can apply:

• Plan with long settlements to prepare and act fast post-settlement.
• Leverage community and coaching for clarity and direction.
• Stay organised and systemised as projects multiply.
• Trust intuition and mindset work to guide major decisions.

Purpose and Legacy

Beyond property, Tamara is passionate about giving back. She serves on the Foothills Foundation board and helps lead an annual girls’ empowerment camp, mentoring teens facing hardship. Her next personal goal is helping her partner Kylie, a social worker, transition to part-time property investing in 2026.

Inspiration to Act

Tamara’s story shows what’s possible when education meets decisive action. With six deals in 18 months, she’s proof that momentum builds quickly when you commit to learning, planning, and taking bold steps forward.

Takeaway: The right mindset and community can turn potential into powerful, lasting results.
