“Free content keeps people stuck.”
In this episode, we talk honestly about how beginners should learn property investing in 2026, without getting overwhelmed, ripped off, or stuck consuming content forever.
We share what property education looked like when we started 12 years ago, why things feel harder now, and how to balance self-teaching, paid education, and actually taking action.
If you’ve been stuck researching, unsure who to learn from, or confused about whether education is “worth it”, this one’s for you.
