info_outlineProperty investment isn’t a passive income fantasy or a get-rich-quick scheme - it’s a strategic business move that can create real, long-term wealth.
This episode cuts through the hype and dives into how property can be used as a powerful tool to leverage time, money, and skills, especially when aligned with your personal goals.
Far beyond the old "how many properties do you own" mindset, this conversation explores the why and how of building a sustainable, profitable property portfolio.
From the surprising modern history of buy-to-let in the UK to understanding the three phases of a property business, this episode offers both foundational insights and hard-earned truths from years in the field.

Whether you already own property or are still property-curious, the episode challenges assumptions and lays out what it really takes to make property work for you - not the other way around.
