8 Insanely Practical Ways To Negotiate a Profitable Property Purchase ... Step-by-Step Guide | Ep. 919

About this episode

In this episode, we discuss how property investors can negotiate property purchases in the current property market. This includes running through all of the tactics that listeners can actually use.

This includes a run down of when to negotiate and what sort of things you can ask for. For instance, we recommend getting a property under contract before negotiating.

We also mention that if you want to grow your property portfolio in 2022, then you can always come see us for a portfolio planning session.

Ok, now for the legal bit:

The Property Academy Podcast is for your general information. It’s not financial advice.

So the hosts aren’t telling you what to do with your own money. We’ve made every effort to make sure the information is accurate. But we occasionally get the odd fact wrong.

Make sure you do your own research or talk to a financial adviser before making any investment decisions.
