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
