According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 30 % of marriages in Australia end in divorce. What would be your advice for newly divorced people trying to re-enter the property market?
This is a sensitive topic not only because I'm a property investor but because I've been through this myself. Nobody gets married to get divorced and I think as you know most people aren't getting married they're living together so I believe the statistics are far higher than 30 % and my 15 years of talking to clients I've heard these times types of stories day in, and day out.
One has got more money out of a divorced settlement and they come to me going, "Zaki, I'm burnt out." Or, "What do I do?" I think it comes back to you've just gotta keep going, it's just part of life.
It's not about being divorced or separated as much as, you know, those are tough challenges and I've lost property through past experiences like this also, but I've continued on, and here I am still.
continuing and wanting others to succeed it's just part of life's journey of success no matter where you are even though you may be separated or divorced or you've lost everything you can come back and just like myself by the cheapest property in the middle of nowhere that nobody wants to buy and still get ahead in 10 years.
