Episode 119 - The Strategic Investor: Mastering Property Trading
Paul Ribbons is a property business veteran who started as an acquisition agent in 1986, finding the freedom he needed at that particular time of his life in property. Today, as a podcaster, author, and property trader, Paul has a knowledge and understanding of the property market and human psyche that are so acute that he has repeatedly been able to predict market trends.
In this episode, Paul talks about the wider property world. Regardless of how long someone has been in property, we tend to concentrate solely on the brick and mortar, making sure we buy at the right moment at the right time and ignore the subtle messages the market sends. Those distractions can cost us tons of money, and Paul pinpoints many of the clues and flags we should be looking for when dipping our toes on the broader money market.
