Never a bad time to buy: How adaptability drives long-term property investment success
In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman sits down with experienced investor Alex Whitlock to share his insights from his 25-year property journey.
Alex remains optimistic about the market outlook for 2025, emphasising that there is never a bad time to buy, especially with recent rate cuts encouraging more sellers.
He highlights the crucial role of mortgage brokers, viewing them as trusted advisers who help investors avoid over-leveraging and make sound financial decisions.
Reflecting on past mistakes, Alex underscores the process of learning from losses, such as selling properties due to poor construction or ongoing maintenance issues.
He also emphasises the importance of effective property management and encourages investors to proactively switch managers if the service is unsatisfactory, noting that technology can enhance transparency and communication.
Alex’s portfolio strategy is adaptable, shifting from off-the-plan buys to investing in blue-chip locations that offer long-term growth and generational wealth, driven by strategic planning and expert advice.
