“People often mistake free advice and they think it’s good advice and what I mean by that is the property industry isn’t regulated by ASIC, there is no legal requirement to be a qualified property investment advisor” Miriam 1:30

“That’s the extent to which someone will expose themselves, show potential loss in order to make a certain level of gain but most people don’t factor their risk profiling when it comes to buying property” Miriam 4:12

“There are so many issues in recent years that have come up regarding poor quality in terms of buildings that you want to know about that sort of thing” Miriam 7:01

“You’re best focusing on what strategy – capital growth, cash flow, balance of the two – and then deciding what to buy. Tax benefits are a benefit of investing but they should never be the reason to invest” Miriam 12:02

“You can actually recover so long as you don’t hold onto a situation where you invested a lot of time or money in the hope that it will get better one day when you’ve got no evidence to support that” Miriam 19:13
