In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar sit down with Phil Tarrant to unpack property investment strategies, highlighting the power of long-term thinking and personalised approaches. The trio unpacks various strategies suited to different investor stages, from the foundational “buy and hold” to the more advanced “build and balance” and generational investing.
