In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit are joined by mortgage broker Sarah McConville from Fouracre Financial to share how the right team drives property investment success.
Sarah emphasises that relying on experts, rather than attempting to navigate investments alone, is critical for investors, similar to not going to a friend for medical surgery.
Sharing her personal journey, she recounts buying her first home at 22 and facing financial stress after a relationship breakdown, highlighting the importance of stability and support during challenging times.
Sarah explains that her move into mortgage brokering is driven by a passion for helping others achieve home ownership and build wealth, reflecting her commitment to guiding clients through complex financial decisions.
The episode also highlights the role of education, particularly for female investors, who benefit from proactively learning about property investment to make informed choices.
She stresses that some women may not be as engaged in financial decisions as they should be, which can create challenges during unexpected life events.
Sarah further notes the value of a well-rounded team – including accountants, buyer's agents, and financial advisers – to navigate market trends and achieve investment goals efficiently.
