Losing Your Property Investor Cherry

By Modus Academy

Property investment is always exciting, but also throws up all sorts of challenges. So, every other week this podcast will invite a now seasoned property investor to take a look back at their first investment property.

In a chatty, warts and all interview style, we dive into the good and the bad, and the odd from when they first took the plunge. If our guest brought a property that that was a complete dud you will hear about it. Likewise if they purchased a real winner we will share their experience of how they got there.
