When Property Goes Wrong

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.
