Like many young Sydneysiders, former Miss World Australia Erin Holland has bought an investment in Brisbane.

The sports presenter spent $745,000 on her Cannon Hill first home buy.

The rentvestor secured a classic elevated four-bedroom Queenslander home, held by the same family for over four decades.

“Pinch me, hard work truly pays off,” Holland posted to her 314,000 Instagram followers. “Four years ago this was just a distant dream.”

It has been quite a year for Holland, who is now engaged to Brisbane Heat cricketer Ben Cutting.

She’s been splitting her time between a Zetland rental and Cannon’s home in Hawthorne, which cost him $965,000 six years ago.
