Barber and Robin, a tree surgeon, lived in the Long Jetty home for five years with their two young children before relocating to Tweed Heads in 2019 according to realestate.com.au.
After their move, the property became a rental, generating $650 per week in income.
The move to Tweed Heads represented a homecoming for Barber, who grew up in nearby Terranora, a coastal town on the far north coast of NSW.
A year after purchasing their penthouse, Barber further invested in the area, spending $477,000 on a three-bedroom apartment in a 1970s walkup just over 1km away.
Prior to their Long Jetty residence, Barber owned a studio apartment in Stanmore, in Sydney’s inner west.
She purchased the Harrow Road property for $259,000 in 2009 and sold it for $320,000 in 2014, demonstrating her consistent success in property investments.
