So true about millennials moving to get access to houses or homes with space. Raising kids in a unit designed for investors is hard work. Loved this episode, an actuate picture of what’s happening.

Shameless promotion of property speculation!

No, private property investors are not essential! Whoever thought speculation on a basic need such as housing was ok is beyond the pale. Housing should be provided by governments and not for private mum-and-dad investors who expect to profit off the backs of the less fortunate. Shame on you for promoting property investment! Stick to shares and stocks which doesn’t directly hurt people by driving up property prices and making housing unaffordable!
Good Subject Matter, Hosting Frustrating

Listened to the episode re: family offices and was completely distracted by James speaking over the guest repeatedly and coughing / clearing his throat constantly. Very interesting subject matter but made for really hard listening.
