Is Your Broker Still Right For You? Let's Find Out!     The most important piece in every property investor's team should be the broker...

40 Properties in 12 months!!! Surely That's a Typo...     Every property investor has their own goals in mind.

While purchasing properties at a rate of nearly one a month wasn't exactly in his client's plan, it was easily one of the best things he'd ever done for both himself and his tenants. In purchasing properties at 20% to 30% below market value, while one purchase may not make a large increase in an investor's account, grabbing eight in one year certainly does! Hosted on Acast.

While many people see a prestigious suburb as the more desirable option, Loo has found time and time again— especially amid the latest boom— that this is often not the case. After all, the difference between suburbs can lead to an extra $60,000 in equity, propelling you to expand your portfolio beyond your initial expectations. A self-confessed ‘stubborn buyer', Loo explains how being unemotional in your suburb choice can generate over $300,000 in growth in just one property, rather than taking 10+ properties to achieve the same result. While a Besser block house may not be your first choice, Loo recommends giving it— and that slightly less fancy suburb next door— a crack. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
