Summary: We are extremely excited here on The Property Couch this week to announce the long-awaited meeting with our special guest today, JAN SOMERS (as we’re sure you would agree)! With a successful property portfolio spanning over 40 years with countless properties within the country, Jan is an inspirational, property-investing mogul who we all could learn a lot from. As we gained so much gold from the hour-long chat, we’ve had to split the episode into two! In this first part, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley discuss the following areas with Jan:<br> <br> * What got her into property investing back in 1972 and how did she <a href="http://www.thepropertycouch.com.au/ep73-building-a-property-portfolio-in-a-tough-market/">build her portfolio</a> since then<br> * Her mentor in life and her outlook in education and continuous learning<br> * Her point of view and experience on <a href="http://www.thepropertycouch.com.au/episode-021-the-negative-gearing-debate-in-australia/">negative gearing</a><br> * How did she structure her loans and what kind of loan strategy does she have for her portfolio<br> * Tips on improving your <a href="http://www.thepropertycouch.com.au/episode-004-four-pillars-of-mastery-borrowing-power/" target="_blank">borrowing power</a><br> * What motivated her to write her books, Building Wealth<br> * Having the right mindset as an investor<br> <br> And so much more! As Jan is someone who has a continuous passion and drive for property investing, this is definitely a 2-part episode you will not want to miss. Her journey through property investing is definitely a story worth listening to and reading up on so make sure you tune in.<br> Here’s the link to her books and the PIA Investor software: <a href="https://www.somersoft.com.au/products.htm">Click here</a>.<br> <br> And as always, if you like this episode (Chat with Jan Somers, Housewife And Property Multimillionaire – Part 1), don’t forget to rate us on our iTunes channel (<a title="The Property Couch - An Insider's Guide to Property Investing in Australia" href="https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/the-property-couch/id969904333">The Property Couch Podcast</a>) and our <a title="The Property Couch Facebook page" href="https://www.facebook.com/ThePropertyCouch">Facebook page</a>.
