Episode: The 3 Biggest Property Investment Mistakes – Part 3

In the final instalment of our three-part series, we unpack the third and often overlooked investment mistake: choosing the wrong type of property. It’s not just about numbers or strategy - the structure of an asset can make or break long-term success.

We explore:
• Why certain property types, like leaseholds or complex ownership arrangements, can cap growth or create hidden risks.
• How seemingly attractive deals can turn into long-term headaches once structural costs, ground rents, and lending hurdles kick in.
• The importance of understanding how ownership type, age, and legal frameworks affect cashflow and resale prospects.

If you want to avoid buying a property that looks good on paper but fails in performance, this episode helps you see beneath the surface and pick assets that genuinely support your investment goals.

The 3 Biggest Property Investment Mistakes – Part 2

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the biggest pitfalls investors make, and why a missing strategy is one of the most common.

Most investors know how to read the numbers, but without a clear plan for what those numbers are meant to do for you, decisions become emotional, inconsistent, and risky.

We discuss:
• Why having a strategy matters more than liking a suburb or chasing yields
• How clear goals help you buy with purpose
• Real examples showing how strategy can change outcomes in volatile markets
• What a strong investment framework actually looks like and how it guides smarter decisions

If you want to move beyond reactive investing and build a portfolio that actually supports your goals, this episode will help you think strategically from the start.
