Get Invested: Matt Raad on investing in digital property

About this episode

Buying, renovating, selling and investing isn't just limited to bricks and mortar, the digital world offers huge opportunities for property investors to diversify and unlock more cashflow, says Matt Raad.

Typically in Australia, the highest and safest reliable growth and cash flow vehicle that is tax incentivised is property.

However with recent increases in both property values and interest rates, the barriers to purchasing property from an equity and borrowing capacity are becoming challenging for many investors – so what are the safe, affordable or easy alternatives?

How about an asset class with limitless supply and demand that requires little capital to invest?

We're talking about investing in the buying, renovation and selling of websites – assets that could be considered as the digital equivalent of real estate or virtual property.

This is where our guest Matt Raad comes in.

Matt started with nothing to build a high cash flow portfolio through buying and selling businesses that shifted to the virtual online equivalent.

Matt and his wife Liz are now accomplished and successful website investors, which in simple terms, means that they use digital assets to generate cashflow and build wealth. Together they were some of the first in the world to pioneer the buying, building and renovation of websites and they now teach others like you and me to achieve six to seven figure incomes using a similar strategy to buying and renovating traditional real estate.

Matt shares his insights into his journey as a successful investor, where he started out as a zoologist with his wife, bought their first business, expanded into mergers and acquisitions and then transitioned into the virtual tech and digital world.

He also reveals the fundamentals of digital assets and what it takes to successfully invest in this space.

Enjoy!

Key topics

Digital real estate is the asset class priced out millennials can still enter

Real estate has become the wealth-building default, but for younger investors the numbers often do not stack up without huge debt and years of pressure. Matt introduces a different asset lens: websites and online businesses can be bought, improved, monetised, and sold without needing a million-dollar mortgage. Because he and Liz have spent 18 years applying business renovation principles to websites, he can explain the mechanics in plain language rather than hype. This gives investing and FIRE audiences a fresh conversation about ownership when property feels increasingly out of reach.

The fixer upper website may be the modern version of the first investment property

Many investors understand the idea of buying an underperforming property, renovating it, improving the yield, and selling or holding it. Matt uses that familiar mental model to explain how the same approach can work online with content sites, digital businesses, local lead-generation assets, and website portfolios. The difference is that digital assets can often be improved through skills, systems, AI, and commercial judgment rather than large deposits and bank approvals. For property and investing podcasts, this is a clean contrarian angle that still feels grounded in asset-building logic.

The anti property wealth conversation millennials are ready to hear

For decades, property was treated as the grown-up route to wealth, especially in Australia, the UK, and the US. Matt can argue that taking on massive debt for a low-yield asset is not the only sensible choice anymore, especially for millennials priced out of the market. His alternative is not speculation but skill-based ownership: build or buy digital assets that produce cashflow and can later be sold. This is likely to land strongly with investor and entrepreneur audiences who are already frustrated by the property ladder.
