TikTok Teardown – Property Investors React To TikTok Financial Advice | Ep. 1103

About this episode

In this episode, we react to financial advice given a TikTok, a social media app. We pull out examples of both good and bad financial advice and talk about how to spot the difference.

We also talk about how much you can rely on what you here on TikTok ... and find that some you can, and some you can't.

Want to become a successful property investor? The 'Ultimate NZ Property Investor Bundle' has everything you need, featuring spreadsheets, ebooks, an audiobook, and exclusive software.

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.
