ABOUT THIS PODCAST:

Houses vs units… which one really makes the better investment? 🤔

So, which one should you choose? And what risks or hidden costs should you watch out for? 👀

In today’s episode of Positively Geared, Lloyd Edge, author of Australia’s #1 best selling property investment book of the past decade, breaks down the pros, cons, and strategies you need to know before making your next move.

Enjoy!
