Joel Warren: The High School Teacher Who Became a Property Investor

Season 8, Ep. 857

After reading a classic property book on fateful nights in small town motels, property investor, high school teacher, and mortgage broker Joel Warren learnt how to make money effectively work for him. With eyes wide open and hands always ready at the helm of his life, he took action and changed the trajectory of his finances for the better. Believing that knowledge is power in property investing, he now seeks to pass on to others the practical know-how he has gleaned from the past 12 years. 


In fact, eager to give everything his all and skillfully juggling the different hats he wears each day, he certainly doesn't hesitate to make the most of opportunity that life —and property investing—gives him.
