Most people think you have to choose between building wealth and living your life. Chris & Tina Conley never bought into that.

In this episode of Moves to Momentum, we unpack the story of a couple who moved across the world, started a family, climbed the corporate ladder — and built an 8 property portfolio while doing all of it.

Their story of moving to America with properties back home, building a family, and turning a career setback into momentum for their property portfolio.

We unpack:

✈️ What living in America taught them about money, risk and backing yourself from the other side of the world

🏡 How they pulled off buying 2 properties one day apart using a 10% deposit with zero LMI

📈 The overlooked pockets quietly delivering 40-50% growth that most Sydney investors walk straight past

🏦 How 17 years inside one of the world's biggest banks shaped a sharp approach to property decisions

🔄 Why they walked away from their original portfolio and what they did with the equity instead

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How a redundancy after 17 years became the unexpected spark that changed everything

🧠 The decision making framework Chris brought back from the US that lets him move fast without second guessing

🏠 Why they refused to sell the family home — and why that was never actually the wrong call

This episode is for anyone who:

✅ Has been told they need to sacrifice the life they love to get ahead financially

✅ Feels like they've missed the window or are too far behind to catch up

✅ Wants to see what a portfolio built around real life — kids, travel, career and all — actually looks like

✅ Is ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start moving with what they have

The biggest mistake most people make?

Mistaking stillness for safety.

As Chris puts it — you'll look back on the things you didn't do far more than the ones you did. The equity doesn't wait. The market doesn't pause. And the time with your kids? That goes fastest of all.

If you're ready to build a portfolio that funds the life you actually want — not the one you settled for — this episode is for you.

At just 26 years old, Harley Giddings has built a portfolio of 4 investment properties — starting from a normal $70K salary, working two jobs, and living at home with one goal: get ahead early.

In this episode of Moves to Momentum, we break down the exact mindset shift that changed everything…

From reading The Barefoot Investor at 14 years old and learning compound interest, to buying his first investment property in Western Australia and making over $300K in equity on his first deal.

We unpack:

🏡 How he bought his first property in Huntingdale, WA for $450K and sold it for $750K

💰 How working 2 jobs helped him fast-track his portfolio

🏦 Why structuring debt correctly is just as important as buying well
🔥 The truth about trusts, borrowing capacity, and why most investors get stuck
🇦🇺 His honest view on the Australian property market right now

✔ Feels like property is too far away
✔ Wants to build wealth without waiting until their late 30s
✔ Is trying to balance lifestyle, investing, and getting ahead
✔ Wants a real strategy instead of BBQ advice from mates and family

Waiting too long.

As Harley says — time in the market beats almost everything.

• 🧠 The two investing fundamentals most people ignore: risk-adjusted return and opportunity cost
• 💰 How to sell down a growth portfolio and convert it into commercial assets for passive income
• 🏡 His plan to buy a $3M dream home with cash — then pull $2.4M equity to deploy into commercial property (and make the entire home loan tax-deductible)
• 🏢 Why he and his wife still rent-vest despite having over $1M in cash at one point
• 📈 The math behind retiring early: how much you need to save, how long it takes, and why property beats index funds for speed
