How to Not F*ck Your Portfolio

42 minutes

This week, Sam and Jimmy sit down with APS heavyweights Brendan Geoghegan (Discovery Call Strategist + Head of Education at SOP) and Luke Teeuwsen (Head of Strategy) to break down the biggest mistakes that can cripple your property portfolio. From the dangers of having no strategy — or worse, the wrong strategy OR changing course halfway through — to the costly impact of listening to the wrong people, they unpack the critical missteps that could set you back years.

They dive into why slashing your income just to save on tax will backfire, the opportunity cost of hesitation, and the importance of having the right team in your corner. With a strong focus on mindset, accountability, and managing cash flow effectively, this episode is packed with hard-hitting insights to keep you on the right path. This is one you can't afford to miss! 🔥
