In this episode, Sammy Gordon is joined by his co-host Jimmy Ibrahim for a no-holds-barred myth-busting session on Australian property investment. Jimmy brings in insights straight from the front lines; sharing the questions, concerns, and misconceptions he has been hearing from a wave of first-time property investors.

Together, Sammy and Jimmy break down some of the most persistent property myths handed down through generations: from “rent money is dead money” to the classic “buy and hold forever” and “debt is bad.”
