Are you playing the property game wrong?
Most investors in South Africa get stuck in the "early game" trap—hoarding houses but never actually reaching financial freedom. In this video, I break down the Monopoly Strategy: why the real win isn't just owning units, but knowing when to trade your "green houses" for "red hotels." We explore the specific mindset shift required to scale a portfolio significantly—looking at the jump from R15m to R31m—and why patience is your most valuable asset in the local market.
In this video, we cover:
The "Early Game" Trap: Why hoarding properties can actually slow you down. The Monopoly Metaphor:
How to apply the classic board game rules to real-world SA property investment.
The Patience Game: Why "boring" often makes the most money in the long run. Scaling Up:
Moving from small residential units to significant commercial or multi-let assets.
If you are navigating the intersection of wealth and life and want to move from the daily grind to building true generational wealth, this strategy is for you.
