And those decisions are driven by how you think. In today’s environment, with higher interest rates, constant media noise and mixed messages…
While many Australians are keen to invest in property to secure their financial future, the statistics clearly show that most investors fail to achieve their goals. More than half of those who buy an investment property sell up in the first 5 years and only around 20,000 investors have joined the 1% club who own…
Migration has become one of the most emotional issues in Australia. And frankly, that’s understandable. Many Australians are dealing with higher rents, a shortage of homes, congested roads, pressure on schools and hospitals, and the feeling that population growth has run ahead of planning. So when people hear someone say Australia should offer more permanent…
If you’re feeling uncertain about the property market right now, you’re not alone. Many property investors I speak with are in the same boat – bombarded by conflicting information and unsure about the next steps.

Australia’s property market has changed gears again. For the last few years, we’ve had a market driven by strong population growth, a chronic shortage of homes, tight rental markets and buyers who were desperate to get in before prices moved further away from them. But according to Domain’s latest FY2027 Forecast Report, we’re now entering…
Property investors have somehow become Australia’s favourite scapegoat. The media paints us as greedy landlords. Politicians use us as an easy target for the housing crisis.
