Here to tell us what’s happening in Bryce’s hometown (Perth 😉) and the best strategy a property investor should adopt in WA, is…Damian Collins, President of REIWA (Real Estate Institute of Western Australia)! 

The last time we checked in with Damian was waaay back in Episode 73…and there’s been more than a few changes in the WA property market between then and now…plus, even more news since COVID-19 came onto the scene! 

A bit about today’s guest…Damian has served on the REIWA Council since 2011 and was elected President of the Institute in 2018. He’s been an active investor for over 25 years and is ALSO the Founder and Managing Director of Momentum Wealth – a Perth-based property investment consultancy. As well as all this, he’s also the chairman of commercial property funds management business, Mair Property Funds.
