20: Solid Foundations Property Podcast - The Launch

Navigating the Property Market: Strategies For Building Your Property Portfolio 

Investing in the property market offers a multifaceted opportunity for investors seeking long-term financial growth and stability. Property investment involves purchasing residential, commercial, or industrial real estate to generate rental income and capital appreciation over time. This market provides a tangible and potentially lucrative asset, often regarded as a hedge against inflation. However, it demands careful research, as factors such as location, property condition, tenant turnover, and prevailing market trends play pivotal roles in determining the success of an investment. While property can yield substantial returns, it requires commitment, effective management, and an understanding of the cyclical nature of the property market. As with any investment, risk management is crucial, but with prudent decisions and a strategic approach, investing in the property market can offer both financial rewards and a diversified portfolio.


In the first episode of the new Solid Foundation Podcast, Pauric & Lisa, seasoned property investor's, talk about property investment, the impact of inflation on the property market, and the best strategies you can leverage to build and fortify your portfolio. Lisa sheds light on how you can strategically adapt and navigate the dynamic landscape of real estate and harness its potential to your advantage. Whether you are a seasoned investor or just starting out, this is an episode you can’t miss!

Standout Quotes:


●       If you want capital appreciation or a quick buck, doubling is a great and profitable strategy.
●       When starting out, doubling can be a risky place to start if you are using your own capital.

●       When buying a new building, location is key.

●       A landlord making a profit is not nice to have; it’s a have-to-have; if a landlord is not making a profit, they simply won’t operate.

●       Money is energy, and property moving around is how the economy moves and grows.
