Why So Many Investors Get Stuck at 1 or 2 Properties?

In this week's episode, Sammy Gordon is joined in the studio by his co-host Jimmy Ibrahim and APS Strategist Luke Teeuwsen. The boys are in the studio discussing why so many investors get stuck at 1 or 2 properties into their investing journey. They delve into the common reasons including lack of strategy, viewing more expensive properties as superior and therefore maxing out borrowing power, and being lured into properties that would be eligible for government grants. The most important way to avoid falling into this trap is to surround yourself with the correct team to avoid making mistakes and becoming stuck; along with sticking to the strategy through the tough times to achieve your property investing goals.Strictly limited tickets are available to the Australian Property Scout Summit on Sunday, November 17th at The Star in Sydney.
