A FORMER McDonalds employee turned multimillionaire has shared how he went from rags to riches and how you could do it too.

In a recent interview Eddie Dilleen delved into his past and revealed he “didn’t even know what Uni was” as a youngster and worked at McDonalds from the age of 14.

The Aussie explained how he grew up in a household where none of his family worked and he said he used this as “his driving factor” for success.

“I grew up with a single mother who was on a pension and so no one in my family was working at all,” Eddie told Property Market Investor.

The property mogul explained that having a job was not a “normal thing” in his family, but he wanted to have a comfortable life where he didn’t have to worry about money.

He added: “To get into property I knew I would have to do something different to what everyone else was doing.”

At just 17 years old when most of his friends were out partying Eddie was beavering away reading books on property investment and researching how he could generate wealth.

The father-of-two worked at the fast food chain for four long years before he could scrape together enough cash to buy his first house.

Eddie became a home owner aged just 18 – and the rest is history – as he is now the proud owner of a staggering 78 properties.

The Aussie gave Daily Mail Australia some key tips on how to begin investing in property. 

He said it’s important to start small to get your foot in the door. 

“You don’t have to start off with something for a million or $500,000, you don’t have to buy a house,” he said.

Eddie also urged prospective investors to avoid becoming “emotional” about the area they’re shopping in and what they’re shopping for. 

He said “I’ve found that most people, a lot only want to buy investment properties where they live,” 

Finally he advised anyone who wants to follow in his millionaire footsteps to read property investment books to gain a greater understanding.
