When Property Goes Wrong
Listen to the Property Investor Tales Podcast Now
Welcome to Property Investor Tales, Stories From The Front Yard, where I talk to property investors from around Australia about their investing journey. My name is Tabitha Bright and I’m head of coaching here at Positive Real Estate, where we help people build wealth through property.
In this episode of Property Investor Tales, I interview Gerry, a client who has faced many market challenges. Gerry shares his journey, what helped his portfolio when the market wasn’t supporting his investments.
