They do it themselves to save costs and they don't trust managers or agents. How they ended up with so many is a function of negative gearing gone mad over the years, having to keep adding to the portfolio to avail of the tax minimization. They just kept buying more and more. And one of them is still working. Probably saving up for that gold plated Zimmer frame.

No doubt property is a really good growth investment.
