We’re quite aware here in The Elephant in the Room that a lot of aspiring first time property investors are more likely to devour strategies and case studies that ‘Property Superstars’ and TikTok influencers put out.

…But are we missing something important by listening to all these success stories and strategies? 

Tyrone Shum, the host of one of Australia’s most popular property podcasts, Property Investory, joins us today and he makes a bold claim: He’s NOT a property expert! – BUT he’s long held a passion for real estate and that led him wanting the story behind the success of investors. 

In this episode, we’re dissecting the hundreds of stories Tyrone has heard – Which property investment strategies stood the test of time? What can we learn from these investors’ failures? Should we believe every success story we hear?
