538 | Property Spruikers 2.0: The Latest Tactics Designed to Trap You

The Property Couch

"History doesn’t repeat itself—people repeat history.”

Folks, today’s episode is on an issue that’s very close to our hearts and remains just as crucial today as when we started the podcast ten years ago...

The alarming rise of the new-age Property Spruikers.

We’re talking about the same tricks but in a new disguise designed to serve one purpose: their own interests at the expense of aspiring Australians. 😮

Today we’re exposing the updated playbook of today’s spruikers, highlighting their deceptive strategies and revealing real-life case studies of spruikers who've been caught.

This is our updated, essential consumer awareness episode, aimed to give ALL investors (and to-be investors) the knowledge and tools to avoid being burnt by “$10 haircuts.”
