A Bold Leap: From Healthcare to High Stakes in Real Estate
In an inspiring turn of events, Dr. Mary Rose Lapascua has transitioned from a career in medicine to a full-time property investor, marking a significant shift from thermometers to tool belts. Leaving her role as a Victorian GP, Dr. Lapascua, alongside her daughter Hazel, a registered nurse, has embarked on a promising property venture on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Their latest project, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the Atrium Resort at Biggera Waters, showcases a stylish cosmetic renovation completed in a remarkably short timeframe. This venture is not just a testament to their commitment to enhancing property value but also highlights their strategic choice of the booming Gold Coast market.
This transition was driven by a deep-rooted desire to create wealth for charitable causes, specifically to provide shelter for the homeless in Melbourne and southeast Queensland. The Lapascuas’ approach to property investment focuses on quick value addition through renovations, rather than long-term tenancies, showcasing a strategy that aligns with their altruistic goals.
Their property portfolio, extending across Victoria and Queensland, and eyeing opportunities in WA, is a clear indication of their commitment to this venture. The recent success story of a Labrador apartment, purchased and then sold for a significant profit after a swift makeover, exemplifies their efficient and impactful investment strategy.
This feature in Coastal’s latest listing, set for auction with our own Karen Pirie, underlines the compelling narrative of transformation and impact that Dr. Lapascua and her daughter bring to the real estate industry. Their journey from healthcare professionals to real estate investors is not only a bold career shift but also a powerful reminder of the broader social impact achievable through strategic property investment.
