Assume in both instances person is doing uber driving for 3years and make same amount over those 3 years from uber driving.
2 – Rick
Love the podcast!! Long time listener. I have had an investment in Brisbane for 11 years. Would you, wait for the the Olympics for potential growth? Or sell and invest in Melbourne long term?
3 – Ross
Hey team! Have listened for many years and always enjoy each show, so thank you!
I have an investment property in Adelaide which I intend to keep for the long term.
I am considering installing solar, from a pure cost / benefit analysis I would be in the red initially, but I believe the benefits would lie in increased tenant interest and rental prices in the future.
Would love to get your thoughts.
