EP. 1176 WHAT WE BUY WITH OUR OWN MONEY...REALTORS

Have you ever wondered if real estate agents put their money where their mouth is when it comes to property investment? Join us as we peel back the curtain on our own three-decade journey in the industry — not just selling homes but investing in them with fervor. We'll take you from my youthful aspirations of flipping studio apartments in Potts Point to our current, diverse investment strategies that prove there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Our candid chat reveals some unexpected outcomes, like that two-bedroom apartment with harbor views that didn't shine as brightly in the investment portfolio as we thought it would. We're here to share the lessons we've learned from both sides of the property game, seasoned with insights from our clients, and spiced up with our own bold ventures into the market.In our heart-to-heart, we dissect the art of property purchasing and investment, shining a spotlight on the charm of older blocks in prime locations like Freshwater. We'll talk strategies, from stretching your finances to seeing past the dreaded Strata Reports. Discover the hidden gems in property investment, such as the appeal of one-bedroom apartments with just a tad more space, and how they can command rents comparable to two-beds. And, as we reminisce about our affection for 1970s red brick buildings, we'll offer a gentle reminder about the importance of budgeting for those unexpected upgrades. As questions flow in from our live audience, we're opening the floor to real-time insights and advice, making this an interactive guide for anyone eager to navigate the property investment landscape.
