Are you in your 20s and just starting out, in your 40s and hitting your peak earning years, or in your 50s and wondering how to secure your financial future?

 

No matter where you are in life, your property investment strategy needs to evolve with you. Too many investors treat property as a one-size-fits-all game – and that's why half of all new property investors sell up within five years.

 

In today's episode, I'm joined by Brett Warren, National Director of Property at Metropole, to talk about how to invest wisely at every age and stage of life – and the timeless fundamentals that apply no matter when you begin.

 

We also outline the four distinct stages of property investment and provide insights on achieving financial freedom.

 

Whether you're starting out or consolidating for retirement, this conversation will help you plan smarter and avoid the mistakes most investors make.
