A landlord shares his weirdest tenant stories and his biggest renovation regrets – but can you story top him? 

You find a stripper’s pole in the middle of your property during an inspection, there are hand and foot prints on the ceiling and your tenant insists on paying in cash in the middle of the night…

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Julian Lancey, a teacher, parent to a young baby, master's student and DIY fanatic who insists on self-managing his six-property portfolio.

How does Julian get away with not spending a cent on marketing his properties? Why does he think the banks need to change their small property finance policies? And what was the worst reno job he ever did?

All this and much more coming up on this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show.

Join your host @philliptarrant and Sterling Publishing’s head of wealth, Russell Stephenson, as they chat to Julian in this must-listen episode.
