Are You Buying a Lemon? Don't Expect, Inspect! With Paul Antonelli

Today, I've got a very good friend, Paul Antonelli of Resicert Property Inspections on the show, and it's gonna be a real eye-opening episode. 

We're going into how to know if you're actually buying a lemon and we're gonna go deep into his fabulous book called "Don't Expect, Inspect!". 

We're going to pull back the curtain and look at the things you actually need to be worried about when you're buying a property, some of the misconceptions that are rife in the industry, and how to protect yourself throughout the whole process. So there's a lot we'll chat about today. 

Paul's got a wealth of investing experience himself, and we can easily get lost in a fabulous discussion. 

So let's go inside.
