Thanks for inviting me on the Podcast Mark! Had a great time 👌

Great interview and first time I have come across Ravi but found him down to Earth and knowledgeable. Love the way Mark treats his guests with so much respect and humility.

Good on you Ravi. I wish we had the financial education before we became adults. Hats off to you. 1 word advice! "Regional" Hervey bay is starting to boom with a gazillion homes being built.

I've been following Ravi since his beginnings and his contents are amazingly resourceful. Well done Ravi! Rentvesting is definitely a new mindset and a new way on how to invest in property.

Two favourite finance people in one video! Not sure if there will be cures for most conditions when there is so much money to be made from treating conditions.

Ravi, you basically spoke on behalf of many of my mates including me. I am exactly the same demographic doing exactly what you said. The interviewer asked you how many people actually WFH but this is also me, working fully remote interstate whilst taking advantage of lower living costs in another geographic location. It’s actually much bigger than most people know about.

Spot on Ravi mate. I am in my 30s and semi-retired extremely lucky to have monetized something I'm good at!

2 great online mentors coming together, great stuff and brilliant material.

Congrats Ravi for making it on to Mark's Podcast. I am a long time subscriber of both channels. You have made the big time now! Next you will be on mainstream TV.

The retirement conversation was sooo interesting. Agree doing jobs to pay your bills vs doing what you like changes things.

Boys this was such a good interview, this just came up on my feed randomly. The algorithm lords decided to serve it to me. I appreciated hearing Marks thinking behind what Ravi was saying and how he approaches finances. I'm a 33 year old male, married with 2 beautiful kids of 6 and 8. I work my day job part time 4 days a week and the other day I have 6 clients that I do work for in Digital Marketing. I'm very much in this work and earn money from side hustles mentality simply because this is the only way for me to earn and save for a first home deposit. The interview confirms a lot of things for me and also has challenged my thinking that maybe I'm doing things the wrong way but looks like most people around my age around doing similar things. Love it guys, we need more of these conversations for the young 20s and 30 year olds running this marathon. It's tough, we don't know where it'll end but we got to stick to our guns and keep moving forward!

What is the future of aged pension - will they nclude your house in the assets test?

I live in melton victoria 40 km away from melbourne. Its the 4th cheapest suburb in australia but climbing. So to buy a house here you need to be making about 100, 000 a year at least. So that the top 10% of men to buy the 4 th cheapest in australia. So who the hell is buying everywhere else and how. Someone please explain

Great interview Mark 👍 Well done Ravi 👌 Nice to see how you keep things so real 👍👍

Hi Mark,
Have watched you for some time, I’m 63 & stared in RE in Potts Point in 77. Your selection of your guests & also your enquiries are as I would ask. I look at a big variety of blogs & this young Ravi is very good with a slight caveat. That he is an influencer & has a buyers agent agenda appears to have not a great influence on his honest opinions. Great interview. I work in the Retirement Village space but have two kids at 20 & 22 already saving for property.
It’s complex.

[CHLOEKAVANAGH-pr]

That was amazing. Two of my favourite people to watch on YouTube combined. I loved it. Thankyou.

[nedkulic]

Great open discussion, definitely no financial literacy in schools.

I've been teaching my kids...

Thank you for taking the time to share your professional 😊experiences with us.

[rosshitchen-ijen]

I sold my Dover Heights home and moved to Thailand.Sydney is a complete shit show these days.Best decision I ever made.

[philbowden]

Great episode... Especially the discussion around retiring to beat of your our drum.... Conversations like this need to be had more often.
