The rules, risks and rewards of investing across borders

In The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman continues his conversation with Kev Tran from Kev Tran Group, unpacking the complexities of Australian property investment and imparting strategies to maximise returns across states.

Tran highlights navigating state-by-state regulations, explaining differences in cooling-off periods and forfeiture rules, and why understanding these nuances is crucial for cross-border investing.

He stresses the importance of negotiation and off-market access, sharing practical tips like building rapport with agents and offering flexible terms, such as rent-back options, to secure better deals.

Market cycles and timing are also discussed, as some states grow strongly while others lag, making informed short- and long-term decisions essential.

The duo emphasises the importance of discipline and a clear strategy, helping investors stay focused on their goals and avoid impulsive moves. Throughout the episode, the co-hosts' insights provide a roadmap covering legal awareness, negotiation tactics, team building, and strategic focus – all essential for sustainable success in real estate.
