How do you bounce back from a setback like the global financial crisis? For this investor, failures are just bends in the road — not the end of it. In this episode, Tam Thorogood talks to SPI’s Grace Ormsby about how her simple quest to “do something responsible” at the young age of 20 transformed into a long-term commitment to secure financial stability through property investment. While the former air force official now touts a 10-property strong portfolio and a six-figure income from her investments, Tam reveals that the path to get where she is today has been far from smooth sailing. She enumerates the trials and tribulations she encountered throughout the 30-year investment property journey while sharing how she turned every knock-back into a comeback. The duo also unpacks Tam’s future plans for her portfolio amid the shifting market conditions and regulations and discusses why flexibility (and a healthy dose of tenacity) is a must-have trait for every investor.
