Chris dives into property investing with a fresh, unapologetic perspective. He shares how he built his $10 million portfolio by understanding and taking advantage of the system.

But he does not hold back. In this episode, he critiques the legislation and exposes how the system often feels stacked against younger generations who can do everything right yet still feel like the Australian dream is slipping away. From entrepreneurship to the pros and cons of commercial versus residential investing, and how credit can make or break you, Chris explores how property investing shapes not just individual futures but the future of Australia itself.
