But I was frequently on realestate.com.au, the property websites, looking at what was happening in the market, what the prices were.

Going to auctions, there's a big difference between what the property is listed for and what it actually sells for.

One of the people that I interviewed said, you know, you can learn a lot by how many people are bidding.

Did it get passed in?

The best research you can do is going out, pounding the pavement, walking into those properties, seeing how much bang you get for your buck.

I think that's far more beneficial than trying to read property books and work out what a good decision is.

It's really knowing the market inside out and what you should be paying at the time that you make that purchase.

It costs nothing to go to the auction.

It costs nothing to go to open for inspections.

This is what I realized when I wasn't going out with my friends.

New activities.

Spend my Saturdays going to open for inspections and seeing what my options are and making sure that when it does come time to make that purchase, I know exactly how much I should be paying.

You can purchase the book in all good bookstores.

You can also purchase it online through sites like Booktopia.

And it's also available on my publisher website, blackink.com.au.

Yes, I have a blog, smashedavocado.net.

And your own website?

I'm there.

I have my own website, which I haven't done much with lately, nicolehaddo.com.

And you can find me on Instagram, nicolehaddo.
