Awesome podcast for young investors

This show has taught me a lot about investing and getting into property as a young person. Really appreciate all the info and advice from these two!

Look for a more balanced view

This podcast at surface level may seem light hearted and humorous, but deeper then that it has touches of a guy standing at pacific fair with a clipboard talking about how you can own a property for the cost of three coffees a week, and the words “growth corridor” being dropped like he’s telling you the coordinates of the holy grail, all I’m saying is maybe get a second and third opinion from someone who isn’t selling of a stock list.

Fun easy news

I love that it’s just the important real estate highlights from the week and the bad jokes don’t hurt either

Keeps me more up to date than the most of the office for sure !
