Becoming proficient in property investment is like learning a foreign language, but you can master it, says Kate Hill. Like marathon runners and migrants from other countries, the traits that separate those that achieve sustainable success in property are those that demonstrate the qualities of curiosity, embracing change and continuous learning, embracing mistakes as learning opportunities not failures, and demonstrating the patience, persistence and resilience to overcome obstacles and last the distance through dogged determination and daily discipline. Our guest Kate Hill is a shining examp ..read more
