455 | How a $69,000 Property, 2 Duplexes and a Buffer Changed this Investor’s Life Forever! – Chat with Jodi Page Smith


As winter comes to an end so too does our phenomenal 2023 Winter Series, but you can be sure folks, we’re ending it with a bang!  

This week we’re sitting down with an investor whose childhood was characterised by sacrifice, determination and good money habits… 

Tune in now to hear how this moulded the person she’s become, growing up in a low socioeconomic area to buying her first investment property...just before travelling the globe?!?  

 Yep – Jodi’s story is one that will have you guessing her next move until the very end!!  

From her biggest regret (HINT: it has to with duplexes) to buying that property for $69,000 to the lifesaving decision she made in her 20s to get a certain line of defence… 

We’re unpacking a tale that truly highlights the power of getting your ducks in order, the glory of defence strategies and how determination wins the day over and over again. 

A MASSIVE thank you to Jodi and all our amazing Winter Series guests who’ve stepped up and shared your amazing stories with our community.

Free Report: Tax Implications of Building a Duplex

Folks, we are a biased group of people.

There you go, we said it.

What do we mean by that?

Well, if you have been listening to the past 300+ episodes, you would know that we lean towards passive investment more than active investment. Hence why we say we are bias.

But that does not mean we do not share helpful and educational tips on active investments! In fact, because we know we are no qualified experts in active investments or tax for that matter, we always get the best in the industry to help unpack the nitty-gritty.

And this time it’s no different!

In Episode 386 | BEWARE Tax Traps! How to rebuild or repair after a natural disaster, we asked Julia to enlighten us on what are the tax considerations when it comes to Building a Duplex. As usual, being the detailed-oriented professional that she is, Julia has also helped us create this downloadable to help our community understand this topic a little bit more.

So what are you waiting for?
