My Journey
From a single-mother nurse with $100k savings to scaling a 16-property portfolio and guiding other professionals to build a legacy that lasts.
Standing at a Crossroads
More than ten years ago, Linna Reakes stood at a major turning point. As a single mother and a working nurse, she had saved $100,000 following her divorce. Her plan was modest: to buy a simple, secure home for herself and her daughter, Olivia.
It was then she received guidance that would alter her life's course. Rather than putting her entire savings into a single property, a strategist advised her to split the funds to secure two investment properties. Navigating this felt unfamiliar and daunting, yet she chose to step forward—initiating a journey of intensive learning, negotiation, and strategic execution.
That initial step blossomed into a lifetime passion. Today, Linna has successfully built a personal portfolio of 16 residential properties and continues to grow.
She transitioned from clinical nursing to full-time property acquisitions, learning the legal, structural, and capital requirements of scaling a real estate portfolio first-hand.
"To Linna, property has never been just about bricks and mortar. It's about creating choices, opportunities, and a brighter future for the people you love."
Core Values & Beliefs
What drives Linna's portfolio strategies, corporate workshops, and real estate placements.
Family & Legacy
OMR Property was named using her daughter's initials (Olivia Marie Reakes). Linna believes true wealth is measured by the choices and security it creates for future generations.
Active Sourcing
Every placement must be backed by location fundamentals, high rental yield, and off-market research. She rejects speculative trends in favor of disciplined data.
Chinese Heritage
As a migrant from China, Linna understands the language, regulatory, and cultural barriers many families encounter in Australia. She champions diverse, multilingual advisory pathways.

Community & Migrant Impact
Linna's mission extends far beyond properties. She understands that entering a new country and a new real estate market can feel overwhelming, particularly when dealing with language and legal complexities.
She dedicates time to mentoring multicultural wealth builders and newly arrived families to build their wealth confidence. Her team at OMR Property connects with clients in their own languages, providing clarity, guidance, and removing predatory sales tactics.
Additionally, Linna regularly advises time-poor medical professionals, nurses, and business executives, helping them structure portfolios that generate passive yield so they can focus on their own careers and families.
