As a property owner, a financial buffer is one of the best decisions that you can make to avoid any unnecessary headaches. Or at least that seems to be what has worked for property investor Andy Scott. In this episode, Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant sits down with Andy who shares one of those potential headache scenarios from his time investing. When a bill which should have been around eight hundred dollars ended up costing more than six times that, Andy was able to effectively manage both his funds and stress levels and shares how his prior planning made that a possibility.

Renovating a rental property is not always done with the intention of being able to increase weekly returns. Often, it can simply be a case of making a home safe, compliant, and more attractive to tenant longevity. In this episode, Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant is joined by Right Property Group director Steve Waters for another monthly portfolio update, this time focusing on the $20,000 renovation currently underway on a property in Kingston, Queensland. While purchased back in July with only a few maintenance issues, recent tenants had left the property in such a state that tradesmen were not even willing to enter the property.
