Dion Ferra’s journey took him from labourer, to mechanic and now property developer. Left homeless at 17, Dion quietly built a portfolio of social housing stock while running his own mechanic business with 500 clients.
Dion breaks down the differences between investing and developing, why ground-up is a completely different game full of trap doors most people don't see coming. We get into the importance of team, killing your ego, building agent relationships, joint ventures, daily routines, and why if you think you're going to make quick money in property, you've already got it wrong.
