How Sophie Actually Bought Her Investment Property.
In part two of our chat with property coach Peter West, Sophie walks us through the real, messy, and surprisingly empowering process of pulling off her first BRRR deal - and making $125K in five weeks. From dodging catfish listings and surviving auction-day adrenaline, to underspending on renos (yes, really) and using equity to go again, this episode is full of gold for anyone dreaming of getting on the ladder. There’s talk of foam mattresses, flipping fails, rentvesting revelations, and one very smug WhatsApp group called ‘Property Moguls’.Keen to work with Pete or learn more about what he does?

We unpack why Apple’s been oddly quiet on AI while quietly buying back billions in shares, what Perplexity’s $35B bid for Google Chrome even means, and why meme stocks like American Eagle can skyrocket for all the wrong reasons. Plus, the luxury brand–name-drop effect in music, Duolingo’s glow-up, Gregg’s woes, and why it’s definitely not too late to invest in AI.WTF Does That Mean? A Guide to All the Jargony Bits:Share Buyback – Company buys its own shares to boost value.Dividend – Cash thank-you to shareholders.Capital Gain – Profit from selling for more than you paid.Laggard – Company that’s falling behind.Meme Stock – Share hyped online, not by profits.Short Seller – Bets a share price will drop.Antitrust – Rules to stop companies getting too powerful.Spin-Off – Company splits off part into a new business.ETF – Bundle of shares in one go.AI Value Chain – Companies powering AI, not just building it.Leave us a message on The Curve Hotline 💌☎️For more from The Curve:Investing ClubWebsiteInstagramYouTubeTikTokNewsletterDisclaimer: Raising The Curve has been prepared solely for informational and educational purposes.
