He made waves four years ago when he snapped up his tenth property aged 25 but an ex-housing commission resident has since refined his buying tactics and now owns 29. Here’s how he did it.
Ex-housing commission resident Eddie Dilleen is preparing to buy himself an unusual present before his 30th birthday in September – his 30th property.

The 29-year-old already owns an incredible 29 properties spread across the country, having bought his first in his late teens while working at McDonald’s.
Nine of his properties were purchased over 2020 and early 2021 and the value of his portfolio has surpassed $6 million.
