In this episode, we discuss how Mark – a 63-year-old Tauranga pizza shop owner – built a secure retirement plan later in life, even after making some costly property investment mistakes.

  • Hear how he sold his properties too early and missed out on hundreds of thousands in capital gains

  • Why he’s jumped back into the market in his 60s and how he’s planning to grow his equity by another $1 million

  • What he’d tell his 35-year-old self … and what you can learn from it

This is a powerful case study for anyone thinking “is it too late for me?” Spoiler: it’s not.
