If we could go back and invest in property all over again, what would we do differently?!
Well, for one, Bryce probably wouldn’t have bought a Harley Davidson!! (Yep)
Folks, this is exactly the stuff we’re unpacking today – the top 10 tips we’d tell our “20-something” year-old selves BEFORE we purchased our first property!
To give you an idea… Ben purchased his first property at 23 & Bryce at 24. So, if we fast forward a couple of decades to where we are now – two of Australia’s leading property experts, each with a multimillion-dollar property portfolio — what would we go back in time and tell ourselves?
‘Cos, let’s be real, it was anything but a “walk in the park” – and we both made some really stupid and regretful decisions to get to where we are now! And we’re sharing these “rookie errors” with you so you can AVOID them yourself… or — if like us, you didn’t know you were doing the wrong thing – help you course-correct quickly!!
And folks…we’re NOT proud of how we’ve learnt some of these tips. Sure, some of us have to “learn things the hard way” and while it’s all part of our journey, we really suggest you learn from our “if only we knew this” moments!
Almost always, wealth creation (or any success for that matter) comes from modelling those who’ve achieved the results you’re after, but here’s another bonus tip… it also comes much easier when you learn about the mistakes SECOND-HAND 😉
Enjoy these Top 10 Tips — we’re super excited to share these with you, even if we feel a bit vulnerable doing it!
As Ben mentions, if you’re a property professional keen to showcase the coalface of the property market so folks out there can see that, yep, the property market IS still alive and happening, simply update your photos on socials and use the hashtag #OZPropertyALIVE (feel free to tag us too…especially if you want our eyeballs on it!)
And remember, leave us a rating and review of ANY kind here for your chance to win FREE ACCESS to our brand new online course: Start & Build! (we’d obviously prefer 5-stars, but if that’s not how you feel about us, no worries!)
