In this episode, we dive deep into the art of saying NO to property deals that don't stack up.
Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting, understanding when to walk away is critical to building wealth. We break down real examples of rejected properties in Melbourne suburbs like Melton, Frankston and Craigieburn, and explain negotiation strategies, valuation frameworks and deal-making mindsets.

Watch as we unpack:
âś… How emotion can cloud your judgment
âś… Why some "great deals" are really traps
âś… The incremental offer strategy
âś… How to evaluate strategic growth corridors
âś… Real stories of deals we walked away from (and why)
