S2 E19 Why you need to look at the past to understand the now: Cam McLellan's personal journey
Show Notes

This episode is a replay of a candid conversation between OpenCorp's Cam McLellan and Alex Whitlock (filling in for host Phil Tarrant) on The Smart Property Investment Show.

In what is a broad-ranging informal chat, Cam shares his thoughts on the post-COVID market by reflecting on previous market cycles. He touches on property performance, repetitive trends, understanding the difference between good debt and bad debt, co-investing, and more.

Cam's personal journey

Cam also shares his personal journey and how he got his lightbulb moment at a young age while listening to his parents argue over an unfortunate investing experience.

“Right then, I knew I wanted a better financial future for my future family,” Cam recalls.

Despite his young age, Cam recognised that property was where the money was, and set about learning as much as possible about investing.

After working multiple jobs to scrape together a deposit to purchase his first property - a property, incidentally, he still holds today - Cam had taken the first big step in what has become a prosperous journey for himself and his family.
