Most people think building wealth through property is about being smart enough to pick the right suburb, time the market perfectly, or analyse the data better than everyone else. 
What if the most important lessons weren't about property at all?
Albert Einstein never bought a house as an investment. He never negotiated with a bank or agonised over a depreciation schedule. But buried in the things he said across his lifetime are some of the clearest, sharpest principles I've ever come across for thinking like a long-term investor.
In this episode, I speak with Joseph Ballota, senior wealth strategist at Metropole and discuss why having too much information can be just as dangerous for property invetsors as having none at all, why the best investors are often the ones who know what they don't know, and why every downturn in property history has quietly created the next generation of wealthy Australians.
Joseph shares insights on the common mistakes investors make, such as emotional decision-making and analysis paralysis.
