    May 19 2025

    This month, we're keeping it raw and honest. In Episode 3 of Property Probationers, we dive into the realities of a tough few weeks in property investing — deals that fell through at the last minute, properties that weren’t quite what we expected, and the emotional toll that comes with the hustle.

    We share the lessons we’ve learned from setbacks, how we’re navigating uncertainty, and why looking after your mindset and mental health is just as important as managing your numbers. If you've ever had a moment where you’ve questioned the process, this episode is for you.

    Grab a brew, take a breath — and let’s talk about what really goes on behind the scenes!
