Welcome to Property Investor Tales, Stories From The Front Yard, where I talk to property investors from around Australia about their investing journey. My name is Tabitha Bright and I'm head of Coaching and Advising here at Positive Real Estate, where we help people build wealth through property. 

My guest today is Howard Bird, a client and coach at Positive Real Estate.  He started investing in property in 2004 and faced challenges such as divorce and selling properties. Howard's portfolio includes two houses and an apartment in a CBD.  He also highlights the benefits of investing in off-the-plan properties and the potential for capital growth. Overall, Howard's story showcases the power of strategic investing and the value of seeking guidance and education.
