Your Property Guide Podcast – Hosted by Matt Piotrowski
Part 1 of our 10-part Property Investing 101 Mini-Series

In Episode 1, Matt Piotrowski lays the groundwork for what property investing really is, and how it’s different from buying your own home. We unpack key concepts like lifestyle vs investment assets, how leverage works, and the four core benefits of investing in property: Capital growth, rental income, value-add potential, and tax benefits. We also explore the major property types (residential vs commercial), common rental models (long-term, short-stay, and co-living), and break down the difference between passive and active strategies. From the classic buy-and-hold approach to more advanced strategies like reno flips and subdivision, you’ll walk away with a solid framework to understand your options.
