Welcome to Property Investor Tales – Stories From The Front Yard, where we talk to property investors from around Australia about their investing journey. We are Caroline Bounds & Bob Provan and we’re Property Coaches here at Positive Real Estate, where we help people build wealth through property. With over 8000 clients across Australia and New Zealand, there are some incredible stories to tell, which hopefully make your investing journey that little bit easier.

In this episode of Property Investor Tales, Caroline and Bob discuss their diverse property investment journeys, emphasizing the importance of timing, financial advice and having a supportive team. They explore the challenges faced by first-time buyers, the significance of budgeting and lifestyle choices and the phases of property investment: Acquisition, Consolidation, and Lifestyle.
