Welcome to Property Investor Tales, Stories From The Front Yard, where I talk to property investors from around Australia about their investing journey. My name is Tabitha Bright and I’m head of coaching here at Positive Real Estate, where we help people build wealth through property. 

In this episode of Property Investor Tales, I interview Gerry, a client who has faced many market challenges. Jerry shares his journey, what helped his portfolio when the market wasn’t supporting his investments. The conversation highlights the importance of having a team of professionals around to help, and work through solutions to the problems that the market might bring.
