This week on The Smart Property Investment Show @philliptarrant and Sterling Publishing's group publisher, Alex Whitlock are joined by Mitchell Burge - a low-risk investor who has gone to incredible lengths in order to play it safe. With a loan to value ratio hovering around the 58 per cent mark – conservative figures by any measure. No more than two of his 12 investment properties are with one bank, and he owes no more than $900,000 with one lender.

Six years later, and with a portfolio of 10 properties to his name, Stephen shares the highs and lows of his investment story with @philliptarrant and Sterling Publishing’s group publisher, Alex Whitlock. What was the motivation behind Stephen’s foray into property investment, how was he a
