Here is how they did it:
Iza Hedlund, 26, och Håkan Samanci, 31,have built an impressive “housing career.”
In Sweden, that means buying properties, renovating them, and selling at a profit, climbing the housing ladder step by step. That is a popular way for locals to afford buying a house in Sweden.
Now they own a stunning house in the Stockholm suburb of Sollentuna worth 11 million sek (staring price was even higher!).
How did they make it happen?
1. Choosing renovation projects
Their strategy has been to buy fixer-uppers, renovate them, and sell for a profit.
2. Doing the work themselves
Almost all renovations are done by the couple, not contractors.
3. 100% commitment to the goal
No travel, no shopping for clothes or beauty products. They worked, ate and renovated.
4. Saving & smart investing
Saving far more than 10% of the salary and making successful stock investments.
5. Prioritizing housing career over income growth
Iza realized early on that buying and selling properties would get them to their dream home faster than chasing a higher salary. Together, they’ve already moved four times to reach this level.
Worth mentioning: their combined monthly income is just over 100,000 sek (around €10K), which also enabled them to take on larger loans. Also, in Sweden it is allowed to loan up to 85% of the property cost (90% after changes in 2026).
Would you be willing to commit to your dream property at this level and cut all of your leisure costs to make it happen?
