Bushy asks long term local WA property entrepreneur, investor advocate Ashleigh Goodchild if it is too late.   Part of being a good investor, in any asset class, is understanding the power...

It may surprise you that retiring younger and richer doesn't mean owning countless properties, says Daniel Walsh. It is always about the quality and value of the assets, never the volume.  So don't get sucked into the trap of social media and headlines that make you feel like you need to own 30 properties by the time you're 30, or 10 properties in 10 years, or similar. For many hard working Aussie...

So how do you becom...

There are 2 schools of thought in the property management area.  One is a need for specialisation by having your property managed within a team environment and secondly that your point of contact should be with one person only.  So, do you value the quality of the communication or the importance of a deeper skill level of the manager/managers.  You might have heard the phrase “a man is not a plan’...

Commercial property can generate steady cash flow over long periods with long-term leases in place. However, there’s a perception commercial property doesn’t perform as well when it comes to capital growth and value appreciation. But does this really hold true?   We get the opinion of a buyers agent who specialises in commercial property investment.  Also today - according to the driver of the Nat...

Becoming proficient in property investment is like learning a foreign language, but you can master it, says Kate Hill.
