For most 22 year olds, owning three properties and gearing up to purchase a fourth is about as far off in the future as flying cars. Thanks to Crown Lending, Brad Tomlinson and his partner Sharee have made short work of the impossible.

As government employees with no children, these two go-getters wanted to be worth $1 million each by their 30th birthdays. But with a mortgage and a car loan constantly hanging over their heads, the dream seemed to slip further away every day.

"It was like we were falling into the same trap as other people we knew: they'd get a mortgage for a house, then a car loan, and then before they knew it, they would be over their heads in debt. We knew we wanted to find a better way," said Brad.

That was just over 18 months ago.

Now, Brad and Sharee have their own home, plus two investment properties and plans for the purchase of another investment property. They have also made a sizeable dent in their personal debt by paying off an impressive $33,000 in 18 months.

"The average Australian usually reduces their personal debts by $3,800 per year, but the Tomlinsons managed to pay off over $26,500 within just one year," explained Crown Lending CEO, Scott Parry.

It wasn't the discovery of a magical money tree that gave them a helping hand. By signing up with Crown Lending's Premium Account, the Tomlinsons were able to get back on track sooner.

"I have no doubt that if we hadn't gone with Crown, we'd just be digging ourselves deeper into debt instead of getting closer to achieving our financial goals. They helped us manage our earnings better than any other lender has, and have helped us beyond what we could have imagined," said Brad.
