Do you want to learn how doing proper due diligence before bidding can help you negotiate better terms, make informed decisions and get closer to your dream property?

Welcome to the Australian Property Investment Podcast. In each episode, we ask a guest expert to share their key insights for aspiring investors to make confident property choices.

He also talks about the mechanics before you bid, the two questions around reports that Rhys always gets, why he thinks it's complete insanity not to get a strata report, how building and pest inspection differ from state to state, and so much more.
