My First Investment Property Was A Train Wreck

Any experienced real estate investor that tells you they’ve never had a fail or made a bad decision is lying!

But my first investment - and perhaps my greatest lesson - was a doozie.
$30,000 went down the sink, and whilst it was painful to experience, I’m so grateful that it happened.
