Most women never get an honest blueprint for building wealth because the women around them were never allowed to talk about it either. Kristin Thomas grew up inside that silence. With inherited wealth on one side of her family and a grandfather who built everything from nothing on the other, she absorbed two completely opposite relationships to money and was taught to openly discuss neither. What she learned instead was how to read a room, adapt fast, and connect with anyone. Those skills mattered more than she expected when it came to women and money. Her real financial education started the hard way. A fraudulent stockbroker targeted her recently divorced mother and wiped out the family savings. Financial fraud protection was not something anyone had prepared her for. So she prepared herself, buying every real estate book she could find and knocking on foreclosure doors in her early twenties. Women investing in real estate was not a common conversation then. She was doing it anyway. By 30, she owned 15 investment properties. Then 2008 hit. Financial loss and recovery became her whole reality. She rebuilt in luxury real estate and spent years at work that left her feeling empty. The pandemic forced her to stop. That pause became Marble Collective, a platform preserving the stories of inspiring women. Women entrepreneurship, for Kristin, turned out to be about legacy more than revenue. She is raising two sons differently, teaching kids about money with the transparency she never received. Women and money passes through generations. That is exactly the point. Wealth Catalyst Summit in New York on May 14 is where this conversation continues. Built for women ready to stop being quiet about money and start building something real.

I am VERY excited to share this conversation with property expert and author Sarah McDermott. I first met Sarah when we were both speaking at Magnetic Millions last year. When she shared her story from the stage, I was hooked, and knew I had to get her on the pod. In this very real, very raw and very honest episode, Sarah shares her journey from private investigator to property, how she navigated Covid, sky high interest rates and a gambling fraudster and how she's turning all that pain into purpose. She has recently launched her incredible book sharing the journey, Chaos, a book that blends her fabulous Yorkshire tonality with life-changing techniques because the truth is, we can't control what happens, but we can control how we react and respond.

Can athletes really turn short sporting careers into lifelong financial security through property investment? In short, yes – here is how to do it. From cricket pitches to property portfolios, professional athletes are increasingly using real estate to secure their financial futures long after their sporting careers end. On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop speak with former Australian cricketer Stephen O'Keefe about his transition from elite sport into building a property portfolio and investing for the future. O'Keefe shares his journey from a modest cricket contract to developing a diversified portfolio, reflecting on early missteps, the importance of due diligence, and key lessons learned along the way. The conversation also highlights the need for financial planning among athletes with short, uncertain careers, with O'Keefe sharing that by his early 30s, his passion for cricket had faded, and the game had become a job that funded his growing focus on property investment. The trio also digs into whether rising construction costs and tougher lending conditions are changing the game for investors and developers right now. Additionally, the co-hosts underscore the importance of having a trusted team and long-term planning for athletes, with O'Keefe's journey reflecting the need to learn quickly, adapt, and position himself for life beyond the game.

Most investors approach commercial property by searching for deals first.But that's usually the wrong place to start.Before analysing a single opportunity, you should know what portfolio you're trying to build.In this episode, I explain how the Commercial Property Portfolio Blueprint works and how you can use it to model the growth of your commercial property portfolio over the next five years.The Blueprint helps you move away from random deal hunting and towards a structured investment strategy by defining the key inputs that shape your portfolio.These include:• Starting capital• Loan-to-value strategy• Target yield at purchase• Operating costs• Value creation before refinance• Refinance timing• Whether you reinvest rental income or extract itOnce these assumptions are defined, you can see how your portfolio might evolve over time and whether your strategy is likely to achieve your long-term goals.This process also makes analysing deals much easier, because you're no longer asking “Is this a good deal?” — you're asking “Does this deal fit my portfolio strategy?”The Portfolio Blueprint forms the first step of the framework we use inside the NC Real Estate Members Club, which opens again on 23 March.Join the waiting list HERE

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to share how investors can navigate Australia's shifting interest rate landscape. The trio start by discussing the shift into a rising-rate environment, noting that while rate increases impact cash flow, they should be anticipated and planned for. Victor breaks down the real cost of a 0.25 per cent rise on a $1 million mortgage, stressing that disciplined preparation makes such changes manageable, while Reshmi emphasises building portfolio resilience, arguing that rate rises are part of the cycle and should be factored into every long-term plan. The hosts stress that successful investing goes beyond buying property, emphasising the need to understand costs, borrowing limits, and risks, while prioritising the ability to hold assets through market volatility.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial speak with Aman Sethi about how he has strategically built an $11 million property portfolio across eight properties in just five years. The conversation explores how his journey began with a focus on property value over quantity, allowing him to prioritise high-return assets rather than chasing numbers. A pivotal part of his strategy was rapidly expanding from two to eight properties, leveraging strong equity and robust income amid the COVID-19 pandemic property boom. His business, JICS Australia, provided financial stability during this period, enabling him to pursue aggressive investment opportunities. Sethi's portfolio spans executive homes in middle-ring suburbs with unique features, delivering strong rental yields and significant capital growth, including a standout Adelaide property that nearly doubled in value. Even properties that presented challenges offered valuable lessons, helping him refine his approach and work effectively with tenants and advisory partners. Money management, long-term planning, and removing emotion from investment decisions have been central to his success.

Homeless and housing body the McVerry Trust has written down its property portfolio by €23 million in its 2023 financial statement, which is published today. The chair of its board Tony O'Brien joined Cian in studio.
In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Sam Beckett to discuss the current Australian property market, focusing on interest rates, investment strategies, and market trends. The co-hosts begin the episode with a market analysis, noting that housing values rose nationally by 1.1% in October, driven by strong demand, limited supply, and high immigration. They link this trend to broader economic conditions, as the Reserve Bank of Australia recently held rates steady amid rising inflation, largely driven by increases in housing and electricity costs. The hosts caution that government initiatives, such as first home buyer grants and zoning changes, may increase demand but do little to address the underlying supply shortage. Macquarie Bank's upcoming halt on lending to trusts and companies was also discussed, with the hosts emphasising the importance of using such structures legally and strategically. Guest Sam Beckett also shares his property journey, demonstrating how disciplined planning and leveraging a stable income can build a $2 million portfolio by age 29. The conversation highlights the importance of investors remaining vigilant, considering long-term market dynamics, and making informed decisions tailored to their specific goals.

Journalist Michael Tracey joins The Winston Marshall Show for an uncompromising deep-dive into the murky world of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the web of conspiracies surrounding their crimes.Tracey separates fact from fiction — breaking down Epstein's 2008 plea deal, the failures of federal prosecutors, and the dubious credibility of key accusers like Virginia Giuffre. He exposes how much of the “Epstein mythology” has been built on shaky claims, media sensationalism, and opportunistic lawyers, while real questions remain about Epstein's finances, intelligence links, and the powerful figures in his orbit.They discuss Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, the infamous “Little Black Book,” and the Miami Herald investigation that reignited the scandal. Tracey also examines the suspicious circumstances of Giuffre's recent death, her fortune from settlements, and the ongoing disputes over her estate.All this — Epstein's crimes, Maxwell's role, the credibility crisis of accusers, media distortion, and the conspiracies that refuse to die…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Michael Tracy's Role and Epstein's Legal Plea04:51 Government Designated Victims and Legal Challenges09:17 Prince Andrew and Virginia Roberts Giuffre's Claims 10:13 The Credibility of Virginia Roberts Giuffre18:15 Media, Interviews, and Public Perception21:02 Giuffre's Death and Financial Settlements 26:47 The Questions Around Giuffre's Death 29:39 Epstein's Crimes and Victim Testimonies39:21 The “Little Black Book” and Its Impact 44:50 Epstein's Death and Conspiracy Theories46:00 Epstein's Property Portfolio and Associations46:21 Steve Bannon and Epstein's Interviews1:00:45 Epstein's Business Activities and Ghislaine Maxwell's Testimony1:11:08 Epstein's Financial Dealings and Clientele1:18:24 Trump's Relationship with Epstein and Media Coverage1:21:54 Epstein's Wealth and Assets1:24:18 Epstein's International Business and Multiple Passports1:38:13 Media Coverage and Public Perception Hosted on Acast.

She Lost 18 Properties, Then Built a Financial Empire with Purpose What would you do if you lost it all? For Dr. Felecia Froe, the answer was: rebuild smarter, stronger, and with soul. In this episode of Limitless MD with Vikram Raya, Dr. Froe shares the gripping story of how she went from one of the first 100 female urologists in the U.S. to a real estate investor who lost 18 properties during the 2008 crash and why she wouldn't change a thing. Instead of retreating, Felecia dug deeper into her purpose, got educated, and reemerged as a mission-driven investor changing lives through grocery stores in food deserts, vertical farms, and assisted living developments. She now helps women, especially high-performing physicians, build wealth, create cash flow, and gain the freedom to choose how they live and work. This isn't just a comeback story. It's a masterclass in reclaiming your power. Tune in now to hear how Dr. Froe turned financial failure into fuel for an empowering movement and how you can, too. 00:00 – From Urologist to Purpose-Driven Investor 03:00 – Discovering the “Why” Behind the Mission 06:00 – Building (and Losing) an 18-Property Portfolio 10:00 – Walking Away and Starting Over 13:00 – Rebuilding with Intention and Education 17:00 – Investing in Grocery Stores and Vertical Farms 20:00 – Creating Financial Options for Women Physicians 23:00 – Final Advice: Freedom, Debt, and Knowing There's Always a Choice Connect with Vikram!
