While this third-generation investor still believes that property "is the way to go" when it comes to building wealth, his modern approach is helping him to reach milestones at an accelerated rate. In this special episode, Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Pure Property Investment chief executive Paul Glossop sit down with investor Paolo Franceschini to talk about his family's long-running history with property investing and why it continues to be his asset of choice. But despite Paolo's high affinity with "old-fashioned" strategies, he shares how his guiding principles for building his portfolio evolved over the years and unpacks how working with a buyer's agent opened up new financial and investment doors for him. Now with eight properties with a total valuation of over $4 million, Paolo shares his "best" and "worst" buys, why investors should "learn the language of money", and talks about the lessons he learned over the course of his investment journey.

With the Reserve Bank of Australia delivering a year-end rate pain and borrowers facing a dreaded "mortgage cliff" this Christmas, these experts recommend mortgage holders change up their holiday plans and take steps to strengthen their financial positions. With the central bank pumping up the cash rate to its highest level in a decade this December, Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant and Finni Mortgages chief executive Paul Glossop call on mortgage holders to review their loans and take proactive steps to weather the rate hike headwinds. The duo also lay out strategies on how investors can strengthen their balance sheets, such as increasing their rental prices, extracting equity, repricing their existing loan or refinancing with a more pocket-friendly lender. They also touch on the latest inflation data and give their take on when the worst will be over for Aussie borrowers.

Motivation can be the starting pistol to your investment journey, but this investor believes that discipline can take you further than you think you're capable of. In this episode, Momentum Media director Alex Whitlock sits down with Timothy Brown to unpack how he started his investment journey while serving in the military and why having a disciplined approach — along with a shift in mindset — can help pave the way for an easier and smooth sailing jump into the property ladder. Now with a portfolio spanning seven properties and a total valuation of around $2.5 million, the Melbourne-based investor shares how he laid out a solid financial bedrock to scale his portfolio before touching on what direction he plans to take next in his quest for financial freedom. And while Timothy is a big champion of taking risks who largely operates with a "just do it" mentality, he also underlines the importance of analysing opportunity costs, talks about why one's strategy must always be aligned with long-term financial goals and explains why taking risks should be done hand in hand with due diligence.

The writing may be on the wall for the property market to witness a bearish market in 2023, but this expert believes there are still ways investors can take the bull by its horns. In this episode, Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant sits down with Sam Gordon, the director of Australian Property Scout, to talk about how investors can take advantage of a market riddled with fear and uncertainty. While the pair acknowledge that the rate hikes and other economic pressures, such as inflation, will continue to dampen buying sentiment in the coming year, they also highlight that there are still select markets that can offer positive cash flow and strong capital growth if investors "buy the right property at the right price". And while the majority of forecasts for the market in 2023 are skewed to the downside, the duo underline how property will continue to be a reliable building block when it comes to wealth generation for Aussies.
