How a Sydney Mum Went from Bankruptcy to $570K in Property Profits

Charmaine Bezzina-Cork

“Previously we had been bankrupt. We lost everything through property because we tried to do it the old fashioned way. Positive Property has taught us to trust the system, to know that there is a different way about doing it. It’s opened up our world. It’s opened up our wealth. It’s opened up our lifestyle. We feel like we’ve got everything back again.”

The Situation: Starting Over After Bankruptcy

When Charmaine Bezzina-Cork first came across Positive Property in early 2023, she and her husband were rebuilding their financial lives from the ground up. The couple had previously been through bankruptcy and had also lost money in shares during the COVID-19 pandemic, experiences that left them deeply afraid to invest again.

As a costume designer working for herself in Sydney, Charmaine had always been entrepreneurial. She came from a family of builders and had an instinct for property, but previous attempts to invest the old-fashioned way had cost her everything. With three children and a desire to leave a legacy, she needed a strategy she could trust.

“Fear is the biggest thing that held us back. We lost everything through property because we tried to do it the old-fashioned way.”

The Discovery: A System Built on Facts

When Charmaine discovered Positive Property, the data-driven approach immediately resonated. Coming from a building background, she understood property fundamentals. She just needed a process she could rely on rather than gut instinct.

“When it came, I did the course. I understood it. I’m like, I get it. I understand what George’s talking about. We can still make money here. So we jumped in and that’s what we did.”

What set Positive Property apart was not just the strategy but the support. Coaches walked Charmaine and her husband through every step, backed by the Circle of Trust including solicitors, accountants, and financial advisors available throughout the journey.

“When you buy a property on your own, it’s gut instinct. You’re dealing with emotions and this is no emotions. It’s facts and figures, and there’s money to be made.”

The Results: Half a Million in Profit Across Two Queensland Properties

Within less than two years of joining in February 2023, Charmaine had purchased two investment properties in South East Queensland, both settled in 2024, generating a combined profit of over half a million dollars.

Her first property in Yarrabilba returned more than $360,000, and her second in Morayfield delivered a further $200,000.

Both suburbs were identified by Positive Property’s research process as high-growth corridors in South East Queensland, areas experiencing strong population growth, infrastructure investment, and sustained buyer demand through 2023 and 2024.

The Transformation: Semi-Retired at 52 and Travelling the World

At 52, Charmaine now describes herself as semi-retired, travelling internationally for around six months every year, prioritising her health, and building a financial legacy for her three children.

“Positive Property has given me the lifestyle I want. I’m 52, got three kids. I’m travelling, seeing the world. I’m looking after my health now, and I’ve got properties in the bank.”

For Charmaine, the most powerful shift has been the elimination of fear. The same fear that paralysed her after bankruptcy has been replaced by confidence, clarity, and a plan grounded in data.

“It just cleared all the fear. The fear’s gone. It’s a lifestyle change and it’s not just about property. It is about your health. It is about your lifestyle.”

She is also building something to pass on, a legacy she and her husband were never given themselves.

“I’ve got a legacy to leave my kids and it can only get bigger. We’ve been through bankruptcy. We’ve both had near-death experiences. We don’t want to leave them with nothing.”
