The Double Shot
WHO ARE WE? ”Cousins, Real Estate Investors, Educators, Podcasts and one‘s even an Author!” Cousins Alex and James Fitzgerald, hosts of The Double Shot Podcast, are under 35yr property professionals who’ve collectively transacted over $500M of real estate and are investors themselves. Each week they digest the key headlines relevant to business and investing with a lean toward the millennial perspective and a focus on how Australians can most affectively use real estate as their key investment strategy.
