Trent Fleskens is the host of The Perth Property Show and managing director of Strategic Property Group, a full-service property investment consultancy based in Perth. Not long after the start of his career, Trent had already made it as a successful consultant at PwC, only to find that that climbing that ladder was not going to make him happy. He decided to leave everything behind to travel the world and test out different career paths as a filmmaker, safari guide, etc. But it was when he tapped into his interest in property that things started to fall into place for him. In this episode of Property Uncovered, Sanjeev sits down with Trent to discuss how to mitigate your risk of loss when investing in property, Trent’s predictions for the real estate market in Perth in 2023, or advice for up-and-coming professionals starting out in real estate.
