    What It Really Takes to Flip Property Full Time | Patty Glennon

    Property can build wealth, but money alone is not always enough to keep you going when things get hard. In this episode of Buying Gold Coast, I sit down with Gold Coast renovator Patty Glennon to talk about the mindset behind property, purpose and financial freedom.
