Some of our favourite quotes from the show:

“Investment-grade properties aren't necessarily sold by investors. It's home buyers upgrading, downgrading, and so, as you said, they're in the process of moving at the moment. And that's actually what we're looking for, isn't it?” - Michael Yardney

“Affluent people rent as well. Affluent people rent because of the stages of their life. They get divorced, they get married, they just moved into a new city, they're moving to a new job, they want to be in a school zone. Many are rentvestors.” - Michael Yardney

“So property investment is a process, not an event, and I think you've heard me say it before and Ken's just said it in different ways the property you eventually buy should be the physical manifestation of a whole lot of decisions you make and make in the right order.” - Michael Yardney
