Julie will talk to you about numbers - and her talk will be for anyone, whether you have one property or one hundred properties, whether you are a seasoned investor or are just starting out.

It’s important to know your numbers and have a system that works for you.  Knowing your numbers give you more than just your profit and loss and how much you will pay the taxman, and Julie will show you how with practical examples and share with you her experience and knowledge.
