S4. Ep 9. Talking with Liam Carmody about Property Investment, Buyer’s Agents and Building a Property Portfolio for Long-Term Growth
Hey, Legends! Welcome back to The Building Talks Podcast!
We’re shifting gears from design and delivery into the world of property investment. I had a great chat with Liam Carmody, General Manager at Palise Property, about how everyday Aussies can get started in building a property portfolio, even without loads of cash or experience.
Liam’s career began in civil engineering before he moved into property development and investment. He shared how he upskilled and now helps others start their own journey.
We covered the role of a buyer’s agent, the difference between residential and commercial property investment, how to manage risk and returns, and why planning, patience and education are essential for long-term success. Whether you’re just curious or ready to jump in, this chat is full of practical advice.
Liam also co-authored “Property Development Explained Simply”, the third book in the Palise Property series, available on their website.
