40+ Years of Investing Wisdom with Agatha & Warwick Moreland
If you’re looking for investors who share the big mistakes and the big victories of investing, then you’ve landed at the right episode.
This week my guests are Agatha and Warwick Moreland. Having invested in real estate for more than 40 years, Agatha and Warwick have a lifetime of lessons to share with me.
These two are so beautifully honest. They share “mistakes” such as buying whilst on holidays (which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise). They share how they didn’t invest in Port Melbourne for $29,000 because it was considered too expensive. And they also share some of the biggest pillars of their investing success.
A teacher and engineer profession, Agatha and Warwick are in the consolidation and lifestyle phase of their investing life. With incredible lifestyle choices in front of them, you can’t help but be inspired by the commitment these two have made to each other and their financial wellness.
Enjoy this Property Investor Tale!
