The Property Academy Podcast

In this episode, we discuss whether it's worth joining your local property investors association, along with who they are and are not the right fit for.  Our conclusion is that if you join, you need to get involved and turn up to the events if you want to get the most out of your membership. Otherwise you'll get nothing back in return. We also mention that we are holding a series of property investment dinners. This is where we will take 10 people in Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown out to dinner (+ partners) to talk property investment.

In this episode, we discuss when the wrong time to invest in property is. This includes a deep-dive on how the answer to the question changes based on the strategy you are currently running.  For instance if your property investment strategy relies on flipping, then you don't want to be investing in a declining market. But, a long term investor can still make money investing in a market in decline. We also mention that we are holding a series of property investment dinners.
