Have you ever looked at a successful property investor and thought – they just got lucky? They bought at the right time, in the right suburb, and everything seemed to go their way. But here's the truth: most successful investors don't wait for luck – they create it.

In today's show, I'm joined by Brett Warren, national Director of Property at Metropole and together we're going to pull back the curtain on what really drives success in property. You'll discover why some investors always seem to be in the right place at the right time, while others miss out again and again.

We'll share the habits, strategies, and mindset shifts that can help you manufacture your own luck – and set yourself up to take advantage of opportunities that others never see.

So, whether you're just starting out or looking to take your portfolio to the next level, stick around – because this episode could change the way you think about property investing forever.
