In this week's episode, 28-year-old Alex takes us from his former job as cricket coach to living his dream life working remotely - as we catch him just about to leave for Bali!

Quite simply, he asks the question ... Why reinvent the wheel? Property is one of the only industries where you don't need to revolutionise things. The strategies and process are there ready and waiting, you just need to adopt the one that works for you. Alex isn't claiming it's easy, but simply put, he is saying ANYONE can do it!

And before you say it, you aren't too young or too old! It doesn't matter that you don't have experience and it really doesn't matter if you don't have a pot of money ready to invest. Alex explains how you can get started.
