18 years ago investor Melissa Morgan purchased her first property because she wanted to move out of home: A 24 meter square unit. Fast forward to today where her latest project sees her working on a joint venture townhouse development worth in excess of seven million dollars, and it is fair to say that Melissa has made a few correct moves along the way.

Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant catches up with Melissa to find out what she has learned throughout her time investing and how she came to end up in property investment after originally working in IT.

The pair will discuss complying development, how Melissa has streamlined her process so as to more effectively take on multiple projects, and how her optimism has occasionally gotten her into a spot of trouble.

Melissa will also share her top tips for like minded investors, what she believes makes an accomplished negotiator, and her thoughts on risky investment.
