Property Investment Podcast Network

For one British investor, breaking from family tradition was the impetus he needed to create wealth in the long term. On this episode of the ADF Property Podcast, co-hosts Grace Ormsby and Discover Buyers Agency's Kane Dury chat with Ross, a former British Royal Marine Commando whose property journey started in his early 20s. Ross' life changed when he picked up a book about property investment, which opened his eyes to the possibility of passive income. From the UK to Queensland, Ross has accumulated a wealth of high-yield properties that are now generating impressive annual rental returns.

As spring looms ever closer, it's time for another editorial update. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Grace Ormsby is joined by journalist Orana Durney-Benson to recap some of the biggest stories in property over the past month. Unpacking the latest rate decision, they ponder on the next six months of sentiment among Aussie buyers, before discussing the latest legislative updates and what they will mean for investors, and what Sydney's planning spree could offer the city's residents over the next decade.

It always pays to do extra checks. On this episode of The Property Nerds, InvestorKit founder and CEO Arjun Paliwal returns after a stint away from hosting duties to focus on his health.

The investment expert catalogues some of the common and not-so common elements that should be considered as part of due diligence, and helps property buyers assess what they need to think about before entering into a contract. He also explains how to weigh up the risks of a potential acquisition, and shares why a checklist can be an investor's best friend.

With no assistance from friends or family, and no existing home to leverage, Peter built up his deposit savings from scratch.

The pandemic may have kicked off the wave of city dwellers embracing regional life, but the latest figures show that the trend is here to stay – so long as investment in housing can keep pace.
