What motivated you to learn more about investing in property?

RSD: I see property as a source of passive income. By that I mean earning money even when not physically at work. Some family members have houses that are rented out, as well as a number of friends, so I thought it would be a good idea. I know it isn't easy and it takes a while to see any income, but I’m not afraid of hard work. The addition of being able to ask advice from more experienced friends and family is always useful.  

Initially, when I attended the Dental Property Club’s ‘Creating a Financial Freedom Plan’ course presented by Harry Singh, I was at a bit of crossroads in terms of where I wanted my career to go. Did I want to spend a considerable sum furthering my dental education and perhaps specialising, or did I want to do something with my savings beyond dentistry? I chose the latter option. I still wanted to practise as a dentist, but I needed to find a happy medium where I wasn’t relying on dentistry as my only source of income.
