Welcome to Property Investor Tales – Stories From The Front Yard, where we share real stories from property investors across Australia and the lessons learned along the way. In this episode, Tabitha Bright sits down with Bob Provan, Property Investment Coach at Positive Real Estate, to share the journey of two young investors, Jeff and Agatha, who are proving that age doesn’t have to be a barrier to building wealth.

At just 26 years old, they went from having big financial goals but no clear direction to securing their first investment property, saving an extra $700 a week and preparing for their next purchase in just 16 months. Tabitha and Bob explore the power of having a clear strategy, making smart financial sacrifices and blocking out outside opinions. Discover how small changes today can set you up for financial freedom tomorrow. Listen in now and take action!
