![[Podcast] The Data is in: This is what really contributes to the performance of your property | Stuart Wemyss](https://cdn.propertyupdate.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/MY-podcast-89-This-the-most-important-factor-property-long-term.jpg)
Are you considering buying a new home or an investment property?
If so you’re probably wondering should you buy now or should you wait? 
What if prices fall further this year?
A better question would be - how important is it to get your timing right and what are the most important factors involved in the long-term performance of your investment property?
With my guest today, Stuart Wemyss we’re going to uncover what really makes the big difference in a property’s long-term performance.
Some of the ideas we discuss in this episode:
- Why Stuart decided to study the factors that affected property investment performance
- Which variables Stuart looked at and which variables were most important
- What would happen to your property’s performance if negative gearing or capital gains tax change
- The importance of choosing the right property
- How Stuart’s research fits in with some golden rules in his book Investopoly
- Play the long game
- Grow your asset base first and then tilt toward income
- Set your asset allocation to reduce risk and maximise returns
- Only invest in ‘investment-grade’ property
