The Trio unpack the six principles that separate lasting property wealth from a scattered portfolio. They start with goal setting and long-term planning, then move through mortgage strategy, risk management, and the money management habits that fund a lifestyle by design.
Dave discusses a sobering example of first home buyers facing negative equity after buying at 95% LVR, while Mike explains why compounding and buy and hold tend to beat timing the market.
The Trio also make the case for quality over quantity, arguing well chosen properties beat a sprawling portfolio.
