Investor Bobby Haeri wasn’t always putting his money to the best use. In fact, it was his parents stepping in and drawing attention to his wasteful money habits that set him on the path to building what is today a strong property portfolio. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, he joins host Phil Tarrant to discuss this journey, going into detail about each of the purchases within his portfolio, how he “got lucky” on his first purchase, and why he plans to stop buying at age 35. Bobby reveals why he is open to tenants with pets, the one “must-have” feature of each if his future purchases, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has actually increased his confidence in the property market.

According to Propertyology's head of research, the widely believed notion that population growth is the most critical factor for successful investing is simply untrue.
