Summary
In this episode of Fat Profits, Corey and Jack Fouracre unpack some of the biggest changes hitting Australian property investors from tighter lending and SMSF restrictions to the risks of off-the-plan property. They get into why some investors may be paying too much, how property spruikers make their money, and what could actually be done to bring down the cost of housing. Jack also shares the story of his first property investments, including one that ultimately cost him $100,000 and the lessons he took from it.
