Drawing on her lengthy experience as a professor, this investor applied project management principles to her property portfolio – and here's how she made it work. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Grace Ormsby sits down with Dr Roxanne Zolin, a professor turned part-time property developer and investor, who shares the interesting story of how she got her foot in the property market door with a real estate buy that came with a bag of surprises. Even after facing several challenges throughout her journey – including a taste of tenants from hell and encounters with unreliable tradespeople – the Queensland-based investor underlines how real estate remains her asset of choice when it comes to attaining long-term financial freedom and also shares valuable lessons she had learned after building a solid property portfolio currently valued at almost $2 million.
