For many, a property portfolio is something that is built up gradually over a long period of time. Then you have investors like Greta Francis who, after deciding that she didn't want to retire on the pension alone, purchased four properties in the space of just one year. Greta sits down with Smart Property Investment's Phil Tarrant to share her strategy and to discuss how she was able to make it happen. She explains how she originally had very little idea what to look for when trying to find an investment property, and the steps that she took that have resulted in her now having a very clear list of buying rules. The pair will discuss the importance of having a mentor, and Greta will share her long-term investment plan as well as some ideas on how she approaches learning about a potential investment area.
