How we recovered from our auction nightmare and bought a property goldmine

Jess and her partner Matt thought they'd found their dream property. With pre-approvals in place, building and pest inspections done and a thorough understanding of the property market behind them, they were ready to battle – until the opening bid was $400,000 over the price guide they'd been given. The couple were constantly being thwarted by cashed-up Sydney buyers, until they came across a goldmine in Sydney's inner west. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Jess talks to Phil Tarrant and Vivienne Kelly about how she overcame the challenges of buying property in Sydney, what she'll do next and what other buyers are doing wrong. Jess is also head of corporate affairs at Mortgage Choice, so she shares some unique insights into the investor market, what's wrong with the 'property bubble' and how owner-occupiers can easily become property investors. http://www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au https://twitter.com/philliptarrant
