Jonathan Herps

👉 WHAT GOT YOU HERE… WON’T GET YOU THERE.

As a Founder & CEO, I’ve lived the highs and lows of scaling a business. I know the pressure of carrying it all on your shoulders—of being the bottleneck without even realising it.

Today, I coach and mentor Founder-CEOs and their leadership teams to break that ceiling. To stop being the hero, and start building a business that runs without them.

🚩 THE PROBLEM:
Most CEOs are stuck working in the business, not on it. Growth has plateaued. The team depends on them for every decision. Work-life balance? Non-existent.

📈 THE SOLUTION:
I help CEOs:

Build a self-managing company that scales without burning out
Develop a star leadership team that owns the outcomes
Create a clear strategy and execution rhythm that keeps everyone aligned
Multiply revenue, profit, and business value—without multiplying your workload

💥 MY CREDIBILITY:
I’ve been the CEO of 5 companies, served on multiple boards, created and scaled my own businesses, and coached 100s of CEOs and leadership teams. I’ve sat in your seat—and I’ve helped leaders step out of it.

🗣️ WHAT CLIENTS SAY:
“Jonathan’s superpower is to challenge the norm… He gets straight to the root cause.”

“He’s both grounded and visionary—he gave me the clarity to step back and scale up.”

“A genuine, experienced coach who transformed my business in under a year.”

"I would recommend Jonathan's coaching to any entrepreneur who is looking to take his/her company to the next level and wants insightful feedback and tools to implement this growth. You will see immediate impact from your first meeting and beyond."

"I credit Jonathan's coaching with significant growth, both for my business and for me as a CEO.."

"Jonathan is integral to our journey from a startup into a well functioning medium sized company." 

⭐ WHO I WORK WITH:
Growth-minded Founder/CEOs of private businesses (10–50 staff, $1–25m revenue) who are ready to scale faster, lead better, and regain their time.

🌍 Based near Sydney, I coach nationally and internationally.

From Jaipur’s hustle to Melbourne’s bustle, here’s how I turned dreams into ventures. Let's not waste your time if you're not interested in reading the full story. Here's what I'm doing these days:

1. International Students and Education
2. Startup Investments
3. Real Estate Investments
4. Podcast - The Dev Singh Show (Interested in being a guest? Write at podcast@devendra.com.au)
5. Actively working with some of the startups (for example MyGigsters, Pictorial Mind)

If you're still reading, here's the full story (a bit boring, so read with caution):

Born and raised in Jaipur, my journey has always been grounded in tradition but driven by innovation. It all started when I arrived in Melbourne as an international student, pursuing my education at Monash University. Along the way, I realized the unique challenges students like me face and made it my mission to empower them and create opportunities.

From 2018 to 2020, I took on leadership roles as the International Officer for the Monash Graduate Association and National Executive at the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations, where I represented over half a million students across Australia. These roles deepened my understanding of the international student community, advocacy, and the need for creating better pathways to success for students.

Building on these experiences, I now use my passion for innovation and partnerships to turn obstacles into opportunities. My mission is simple but ambitious—to guide communities, students, and startups, ensuring they don’t just survive but thrive. This drive to help others succeed has naturally led me to expand into startup investments, where I aim to assist founders with funding and my experience with the communities.

At the heart of everything I do is a desire to share knowledge, whether it's helping students, guiding startups, or investing in real estate. My journey has evolved from being an international student and community leader to an entrepreneur and investor. From co-founding JobDena in India to investing in over a dozen startups in Australia, entrepreneurship has been a constant. I’m especially passionate about startups in #EduTech and #FinTech, and I firmly believe in leveraging zero-cost marketing, community-driven strategies, and building brands that grow organically from within their communities.

If you’re ready to create, innovate, or invest, let’s connect.

P.S. Stay tuned for my upcoming podcast, where I’ll share more stories and insights on international students, entrepreneurship, investments, and everything in between!

Rents are up 4.6%… and I’m not worried.
( infact I'm loving it )

Why you'd ask?
Yes, my city rent increased a little but my investment property’s rent jumped even more.

The national average ( 4.6 % )hides the real opportunity,

Regionals are growing +6.1%, while capitals are at +4.0%.

So, I rent in a slower-growth capital.
And I invest in a faster-growth regional.

That gap means my investment is growing 50% faster than my living costs.

Live where you want.
Invest where it’s profitable.
That’s rentvesting.

Rentvesting Strategy

Building a $1M property portfolio 
(the boring way)

• She earns $100k
• He earns $75k

Here’s what they did right:

✅ Cleared bad debt first
(credit cards, car loans, personal loans)

✅ Lived off one income
✅ Invested the other into property

With ~8% p.a. property growth,
they built $1,000,000+ in equity in ~10 years.

The lessons,

• Control your debt
• Use property strategically
• Share the same long-term goal

Wealth compounds faster when both partners are aligned.

Yesterday, I attended Pravasi Rajasthani Divas 2025 as a Delegate.

I felt really proud to witness Rajasthan lay out a bold, future-focused roadmap for Viksit Rajasthan 2047.

From critical minerals and renewable energy leadership to the new Tourism Policy 2025, stronger education & health systems, and the launch of the NRR Policy + RDSP — the message was clear,

The diaspora is now a key partner in Rajasthan’s growth story.

Excited to see this vision turn into action.

Special thanks to the Government of Rajasthan

What happens when I NEGOTIATE for my clients
 (and how it saves them thousands of dollars)

• I research the property’s true value
 Not the listing price, its actual, evidence-based value.

• I find the seller’s motivation
 Why they’re selling, how fast they need to move, and what leverage points exist.

• I remove emotion from the equation
 Buyers fall in love.
 Agents know it.
 That’s where people overpay.

• I control the pace of the negotiation
 Agents push urgency.
 But I know their game!

• I know when to hold firm and when to walk away
 Most buyers don’t.
 And it costs them… a lot.

As a result,
My clients routinely save $30k–$80k+ not because the property was cheap,
but because the negotiation was smart.

That’s what I do for my clients every single day.

Black DAY
My heart goes out to all the victims and families affected by the tragic terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

In moments like these, we must stand together against hatred and violence, and support one another with empathy and unity. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this senseless act.

There is no place for terrorism!

Peace.

A few months ago, I sat across the table from a client who felt completely stuck.

He had a great job and a stable income.
But every time they looked at his savings, it felt like home ownership was drifting further away, not closer.

Rent kept going up.
Life kept happening.
And the idea of a saving for a deposit felt impossible.

When we ran the numbers properly,we found that what they needed was the right buying strategy.

We repositioned their plan,
✔ A suburb they hadn’t considered
✔ A property type that worked with their budget
✔ Smart use of available options instead of guesswork

Fast forward to today.
They own their home.
Same income.
Similar savings.
Very different outcome.

The lesson?

Most buyers aren’t failing at saving.
They’re simply saving without a strategy.

And that’s where a Buyer’s Agent changes everything.

If you’re facing a similar situation, you can always DM me.

Have a great week ahead guys.

I’m done with this place.
Even if the rent is reduced, I can’t live over here. 

Let alone owning an investment property.

That’s what a friend said who wanted to go the rent-vesting way.

And I totally get them. It’s certainly hard to pay the rent, manage the day-to-day expenses and then scramble the last of the dollar to put as a deposit for the first investment property.

But, you know what’s harder?
It’s to wait for a few years and buy the same property at higher prices.

And, don’t get me started on the hardest thing?
It’s the realisation that if you had bought earlier (even if you would have to scramble back in the days), life would have been so much easier and by now you would have been just sitting on a passive income-producing portfolio of a few properties.

So, at the end, you got choose what sort of hard do you want?

Do you want hard things now for easy life later?

Or do you want easy life now for hard times later?

Choice is yours.

Most real estate investors forget one thing
It’s a long game.

In a world obsessed with overnight success, it’s easy to lose sight of why real estate creates real wealth in the first place.

📌 Appreciation takes time
 📌 Cash flow compounds
 📌 Equity builds with patience
 
The best investors I know aren’t trying to double their money next month. They’re positioning themselves to build generational assets over the next 10+ years.

Buy smart. Hold long. Manage well. 
Let time do its job.

I won't buy in Melbourne.
It’s too affordable right now.

hehe jokes!

Victoria is building ~55,000 homes a year, investor competition has cooled, and supply is holding strong. For owner-occupiers, Melbourne is shockingly one of the easier major cities to break into right now.

Brisbane, meanwhile, is acting like it’s trying to set a new high score. Rapid price growth, tightening supply, and surging demand are putting affordability under real pressure.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’re relocating
Steadier markets like Melbourne may offer better value compared to the cities running hot.

If you’re investing
Fast-paced markets like Brisbane come with more upside — and more competition.

If you’re a first-home buyer or upgrading
Markets with easing affordability might give you your best chance to step in confidently.

The key is knowing where opportunity is!

Market Insights!

People usually ask me,
How did you get to a Million in property?

It's easy, I just avoided bad decisions just like y'all avoid your exes.

Most investors don’t fail because of the market
They fail because they’re guessing.

At Vaultwise we help buyers and investors uncover hidden opportunities and secure the right property at the right price, without the overwhelm or costly mistakes.

Our clients consistently turn confusion into clarity and deals into long-term growth.

One recent client went from months of frustration to landing a property with strong cash flow and real upside, saving thousands in the process.

That’s the Vaultwise advantage
Smart strategy. Expert execution. Real results.

If you’re ready to build a portfolio that actually performs, let’s talk.

Is a buyer’s agent a scam?
Totally fair question!

Working with a buyer’s agent is a lot like having a seasoned co-pilot on a long flight.

I mean, you can fly solo right?
You can read the dials, trust your instincts, and hope the turbulence isn’t too rough.
And yes, some people manage the whole journey alone.

But a good co-pilot?
They’re not there to take over your plane or sell you a first-class upgrade.
They’re there to keep you steady, informed, and protected when the skies get unpredictable.

Is every co-pilot exceptional? No.
Is aviation flawless? Also no.
And that's the same with Buyer's Agent and Real Estate.

But a great buyer’s agent can,

 • Prevent you from overpaying
 • Access deals you’d never find alone
 • Read the market accurately
 • Spot red flags before you sign anything
 • Save you $30k–$80k+ through strategy and negotiation.

Tell me your experiences with the buyer's agent in the comment section!

Skip at your own risk!
.

oh you stayed? That's amazing!

I have been there too, and I understand what it feels like to find the right home or investment property in a pool of Million properties.

It starts to feel overwhelming and it's completely OKAY!!

Without the right strategy, it’s easy to miss the best opportunities.

Here’s what actually helps

-Get clear on your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves
-Set realistic timelines.
-Track market trends.
-Work with agents who understand your goals.
-Stay organized with a shortlist and comparison checklist.
 
These are based on personal experience!

If you want more tips like this, follow along.

P.S- Your next property might be closer than you think.

Yes, that's a great cup of coffee
But that's not the point.

Most first-home buyers lose around $50,000 without even realising it.

It’s not just stamp duty or loan interest that drains your wealth.

It’s where, when, and how you buy that costs you the most.

The biggest mistakes usually are,

-Poor suburb selection

-Overpaying in a hot market

-Poor negotiation or blind auctions

-Wrong timing

Every one of these can quietly wipe tens of thousands off your potential equity.

Feeling stuck? Don’t worry!

As a licensed estate agent  I can help you with growth markets, negotiation strategy, and timing, so you can buy smart and build long-term wealth from day one.
