#167 — From IT Engineers to 300+ Property Purchases: Rohit & Deepak’s Rise as Buyer’s Agents

A conversation with Rohit Gehlot and Deepak Rana, founders of InvestorAid, tracking their full transition from IT engineering into one of the fastest-scaling buyer’s agent businesses in the country. Their story begins in India, continues through years of corporate roles in Australia, and pivots sharply after a car crash forced a reassessment of direction. Rohit outlines the moment he shut his CBA laptop for the last time, how he built an eight-property personal portfolio, and why early contributions on PropertyChat created unexpected momentum. Deepak details his own resignation from a decade-long IT career and the systems he now runs across acquisition, due diligence, valuation analysis, and negotiation. The episode breaks down their first three years: — Signing the first client the day the licence arrived — Losing the second client while overseas — Building an engine of 150–200+ active clients — Completing 250–300 purchases to date — Scaling from zero staff to a multi-seat office and full delivery team — Moving away from paid ads into pure referral and database leverage A grounded look at leadership, hiring, operational structure, cultural design, and the shift from solo operator to agency owner. 🌐 Website: https://investoraid.com.au/ Achieve Financial Freedom & Transform Your Career by Becoming a Buyer’s Agent: 👉 https://buyersagentinstitute.com.au
