Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?
Let me ask you a question… with the benefit of hindsight and knowing what you know now, if you had the opportunity to do so, would you have bought an investment property 40 years ago?
I bet your answer would be yes, realising that the median property price in Sydney was $68,500 back then and that you could have bought a median-priced property in Melbourne for just $40,000.
So today I share 40 valuable lessons learned from over five decades of property investment.
