Ever walked past a movie set that looks like a real building, but behind the front door?

Just scaffolding. No rooms, no structure… just a façade. In Ep 558, we’re unpacking why so many property “strategies” are exactly like that: shiny on the surface, but empty underneath.

We unpack:

• Why “simple” doesn’t mean “bad” (and complex doesn’t mean smart)
• How some advice is more about helping the advisor, not you
• Why buyer’s agents (as valuable as they are) shouldn’t be your strategy team
• The checklist of what a real investment plan should include

💭 So, is your plan something you can live with or just something you like looking at? Tune in now to find out!

They just wanted $104K in passive income. A comfortable retirement. A helping hand for the kids.

Instead? They ended up with a silver bullet strategy: eight regional properties, over $1.1 million in debt, constant tenant issues, and a driveway that cost more than a year’s rent. 😬

In this episode, Ben is joined by Head of Property Wealth Planning at Empower Wealth, David Robertson (or Robbo) to unpack a real case study of a silver bullet property strategy gone completely off the rails.

Here’s what we debunk:
⚠️ Promised high yields? ✅
⚠️ Sold on positive cash flow from Day 1? ✅
⚠️ No proper planning, no risk assessment, no diversification? Unfortunately… ✅

It’s a cautionary tale of what happens when buyer’s agents chase volume, not value — and why skipping the strategy step can cost you years of lost opportunity, tens of thousands in maintenance surprises, and even your dream retirement.
