Get Invested: Part 2 - Michael Olivieri on local investment

Local knowledge is key to investment success, says Michael Olivieri. We introduced you to Michael in the previous episode of Get Invested, where he talked about securing his first investment property at the tender age of just 21 and building his portfolio to over $3.5 million by the age of 29. Now he owns a successful buyers agency on the Central Coast of NSW. In part 2 of the discussion, Michael gets in to the nitty gritty of property investing, revealing why intimate local area expertise and familiarity is critical to securing outperforming properties in outperforming areas. Local knowledge trumps desk top data, even in the age of AI.  But quality data is still crucial - we need to balance local intimacy with independent data-driven evidence. Much unpacks all of this, and much more.
