The first property investor narrative was about “mom and pop” investors: middle-income earners with one investment property who passively manage it in the background.

In today’s episode, we’re introducing the Property Investor 2.0 narrative…

Small Business Owners.

There are seven critical reasons; can you guess them?

Managing A___ like a Business
Income G_____
Strategic P_____
R___ Management & C____ Planning
Understanding & Managing L____
Customer R____ Management
Marketing & B_____

Discover why shifting this perception is so important and what we stand to gain by doing so. Listen now, folks!

P.S. We also discuss the most important characteristic that predicts success and in “What’s Making Property News”, Ben uncovers the green shoots in the market.
