The Myth of ‘Easy’ Property Wealth – What Investors Need to Know, with Brett Warren

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money

In this episode of Michael Yardney Podcast I’m joined by Brett Warren to challenge a common belief many beginning property investors hold: that those who bought into the market 20 years ago had it easy.

It’s a complaint I hear often—‘If only I had bought back then, property was so affordable.’

But what if we told you that investing in property has never been easy? The investors who succeeded weren’t simply lucky—they were those who stayed the course through thick and thin.

We’ll also share the story of Joseph, one of our clients who bought a 2 bedroom apartment in Marrickville, Sydney, back in 2008 and paid $280,000 for his property, which is now valued at nearly $1 million.

Takeaways

• Investing in property has always been challenging, regardless of the era.
• Long-term thinking is crucial for successful property investment.
• Emotional resilience helps investors navigate market fluctuations.
• A strategic plan is essential for achieving investment goals.
