In episode 24, we talk to Khali Masooane, a commercial broker, about the commercial real estate market. Most people think real estate and think about the residential market and how to service that market.
Some of us also think about AirBnB or student accommodation; but very few of us think about commercial property and the opportunities in that market.
In episode 23, we interview Nicolette Mashile, also known as the Financial Bunny on YouTube and Instagram.
This is the perfect podcast episode for newbie investors because Nicolette shares all the lessons she learnt on her real estate journey and some of them will have you open mouthed.
We need to talk about the perfect kids.
The kids or teens who were the good kids, the straight A kids who were the model kids, the kids we were sometimes compared to growing up. We need to talk about how this weight of perfection holds them back in adulthood and holds them back financially.
These were the kids, who always did as they were told and were respectful to a fault. They rarely experimented in alcohol or cannabis and were focused on all the right things. Everyone had high hopes for them.
They were seen as successful before they even reached university.
I was NOT this kid.
I was the kid parents would feel sorry for or thank God their children weren't like that. I was too weird, too outspoken, too visibly tortured and I was a runaway teen with who spent time on the streets making friends with sex workers.
if anyone actually believed I woulproductive as an adult?
In episode 22, we asked Meyer de Waal to come back to the show and talk to us about creating real estate structures.
After our interview with Nqabakazi in episode 13, we got a lot of people enquiring about trusts and property investment companies and we thought it would be best to bring in an expert.
I spent years being too scared to dream and too scared to ask the universe or life for new things and new experiences.
I believed that the only way too get out of debt and be financially savvy was to eliminate all my desires and stop wanting things, because having a desire or wanting something meant spending money.
I believed the only way to become debt free was to eliminate all my wants and desires and to stop feeling my needs.
Or to deny all my needs.
Besides, I seemed incapable of achieving any financial goal I set for myself.
In episode 21, we interview David Beattie, the author of "The expert landlord" and owner of Equip Property Services, a real estate letting brokerage firm.
David started off as a property investor and soon realized that he was a better property manager than investor, so he changed gears and built a brokerage firm that specializes in property management.
