WCC 976: Why Education Is the Ultimate Advantage in Property Investing

In this Monday edition of Wealth Coffee Chats, we dive into one of the most overlooked-but most powerful-tools in property investing: education. Fresh off a Brisbane town planning bus tour with Sam Saggers, this episode explores why even seasoned investors keep coming back to learn more, and how staying educated builds confidence in an ever-changing market.

From first-time investors to clients who’ve been investing for over 15 years, this conversation highlights why seeing opportunities in real life, asking questions, and learning alongside like-minded people can completely change the way you invest. Cities evolve, strategies shift, and opportunities look very different today than they did a decade ago-making ongoing education more important than ever.

We also talk openly about the fear and buyer’s remorse that can show up before every purchase (yes, even for experienced investors), and how education helps calm those nerves and support better decision-making. Whether you learn best online, in person, or by being out on the ground, this episode explains why investing time in learning is really an investment in your future confidence and outcomes.

In this episode, we cover:

Why experienced investors still attend bus tours year after year

How seeing properties in person changes your understanding of opportunity

The role education plays in overcoming fear and buyer’s remorse

Why there is no such thing as a “perfect” property-only trade-offs

The value of learning directly from experts like Sam Saggers

How different learning styles impact investor confidence

Why property education must evolve as markets and cities change

Upcoming live events, bus tours, and opportunities to get involved

If you’ve ever felt unsure, hesitant, or overwhelmed when making property decisions, this episode is a reminder that clarity comes from learning-and that the right education can be a true game changer.
