Don’t Buy A Rental Property Until You Know This
What if trying to save money on real estate ends up costing you more in the long run? In this episode of Hard Hat to CEO, Chris G talks with New Zealand real estate investor and buyer's agent Hadley Nightingale about how to build a smart property portfolio. Hadley shares why rental income can give you more choices in life, why the deal starts with buying the right property, and why doing your homework before you buy is so important. He also explains why investors should know their goals before looking at houses, how a buyer’s agent can help, and why managing rentals yourself can get stressful fast. From multifamily properties to maintenance costs and lessons learned the hard way, this episode gives real, honest advice for anyone wanting to grow their money tree into an orchard. Hadley Nightingale is a New Zealand-based real estate investor, buyer's agent, and business owner with around 20 years of property experience. He started his current real estate company in 2020 and has grown it into a team of 13, offering buyers agency, project management, and property management services.
