How property provides stability for this investor’s life on the land

A knowledge and appreciation of Australian land fuels an investor’s purchases, which she’s been steadily accumulating since the age of 20. Smart Property Investment’s Grace Ormsby is joined by Lauren Croker, a land sales specialist who counts both her father and husband as farmers with a deep, personal investment in rural Australia. Having started her portfolio on her dad’s urging at the age of 20, Lauren looks at how property investing has given her stability to weigh against a number of uncertainties. On this episode, Lauren discusses how her property purchases complement farming life, both as an income stream and equity to draw on for potential farmland expansion. Lauren also weighs the pros and cons of using a property manager when your portfolio’s size is similar to hers at three properties, and shares the reason that she and her husband are considering transferring ownership into a trust.
