A New Generation of Property Owners
Something exciting is happening at Teach Me About Property — a trend that shows just how powerful the right environment and mindset can be.
We’re now seeing the second generation of TMAP students buying their first properties. That’s right — the kids of past students are stepping into the market, building wealth, and making smart financial moves in their teens and early twenties.
From Mum and Dad to Young Guns
It usually starts with the parents. They join TMAP, learn the process, buy their first property, and begin investing. But what’s special is that their kids are watching — and learning.
Unlike the first generation who typically started buying in their 30s and 40s, these second-gen students are getting in at 18 to 20 years old. Some even start planning and saving before they turn 18.
The Saving Habits Are Wild (In a Good Way)
One of the most powerful trends emerging is how much these young students are saving.
- Many are saving 50% of their income
- The highest we’ve seen? A TMAP kid saving 88% of their after-tax income
That’s almost unheard of. To put it in perspective, 74% of Australians live paycheck to paycheck, yet TMAP students are flipping the script.
What Makes It Possible?
There are a few ingredients that make this success possible — and it’s not just about being from a well-off family.
1. Financial stability at home
When parents have their finances under control, it gives their kids the freedom to focus on saving, rather than needing to help the household stay afloat.
2. Genuine desire to succeed
Not every wealthy family raises kids who can save. In fact, plenty of young people with financial backing spend every cent they get. But TMAP kids are different.
They’ve seen their parents succeed, and now they want to do the same. They’re asking the right questions. They’re putting in the work. They want to build something real.
3. A clear process to follow
Desire is great — but without a plan, it doesn’t go far. That’s where the CAUSE Method comes in. It starts with Control — taking charge of your finances — and builds from there.
When students match desire with structure, the results are clear: property ownership at 18, 19, and 20 years old.
They’re Not Just Copying — They’re Improving
What’s most exciting is that this next generation isn’t copying the bad habits of the past.
Instead of spending big or taking shortcuts, they’re:
- Saving money
- Learning the process
- Using their income to get into the market sooner
And they’re doing it with purpose.
Final Thoughts: The Mountain Is in Sight
The idea behind TMAP has always been:
“We’ll help you, your children, and your children’s children buy property and build wealth.”
That vision is playing out in real time. We’re seeing it — and it’s powerful.
These second-gen students are proving that age is no barrier to success when you’ve got the right mindset, the right support, and the right strategy.
They’re climbing the mountain — and they’re doing it early.
