Steve Ash
The founder of Property Strats
With nearly two decades of experience at leading investment institutions — including Goldman Sachs, State Street, AustralianSuper, and ART — Steve Ash developed deep expertise in financial markets, trading systems, and large-scale investments. Applying that knowledge to property, he built a disciplined, portfolio-based strategy focused on market cycles, diversification, and long-term growth.
Over the past 15 years, while raising a young family and managing rising living costs, career uncertainty, and at times even a single income, Steve never stopped investing. Through persistence, strategy, and data-driven decisions, he steadily grew an eight-figure portfolio spanning multiple states across Australia.
Having experienced every market cycle firsthand, Steve understands what it takes to build wealth safely and sustainably.
Today, through Property Strats, he helps clients do the same — combining personalised strategy, expert guidance, and carefully sourced investment-grade properties to accelerate their journey to financial freedom.
