Along the way, we compare the dream portfolios weâd build (yes, there are city penthouses <em>and</em> secluded hideaways), break down how leverage helps everyday buyers grow wealth, and take a fun peek at the property empires of Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and RihannaâŚ</p><p><br></p><p>Weâre proud to be partnering with BNZ, whose Home Loan Partners understand that no two journeys to home ownership are the same.
