PB-196 When to Buy and Sell Commercial Property?
My sincere apologies for the intermittent podcasts of late.
It's just that my Inquisitor recently underwent open heart surgery
– which tends to rearrange anyone's schedule.
As such, this may be the last episode for a while.
But you can always call me (on 0425 791 254) if you do have any
specific queries.
Happy investing and best wishes … Chris
