January 27, 2026 - Patricia Zurrer, acclaimed Property Investment Consultant, owner and Managing Director of Property Consulting Australia, has spent over a decade guiding working professionals - from doctors to teachers - toward financial independence through smart property investment strategies.
With a proven track record of helping clients achieve up to 43% capital growth in just 18 months and an average 14.8% annual return across her client portfolio, Patricia is recognised as one of Australia’s most trusted voices in real estate advisory. Her tailored, research-backed approach has empowered everyday Australians to build wealth, reduce stress, and even retire early.
In her latest appearance on the Down to Finance podcast, Patricia sits down with host Amie Tennant and fellow FFG property expert Brendon Fredericks to demystify what makes a great investment - and how to avoid common traps like “accidental investing.”
Why This Matters Now
In a market where headlines, social media takes and “hot tips” can drown out sound decision-making, the episode focuses on fundamentals that help investors stay strategic—whether they’re buying their first property or building a portfolio. Patricia and the panel discuss how to align property decisions with lifestyle, risk tolerance and long-term goals, rather than chasing hype.
