While risk is an immutable part of investing, this investor stands by a tried-and-tested strategy of doing research hand-in-hand with hard work to unearth property gems not just in Queensland, but in any real estate market. Smart Property Investment’s Phil Tarrant sits down with the founder and director of the Srama Group Matt Srama, who gives us an insider look at the moving parts of the Sunshine State’s property market and how varying factors such as supply and demand, gentrification, immigration and COVID has transformed Queensland market’s inner workings. Matt also shares tips on mitigating risks faced by property investors, including diversifying their investments’ location, following the infrastructure spending, and looking at historical data to avoid areas that are prone to natural disasters. The duo also talks about how there are “markets within markets” across Australia and why a good plan is nothing without hard work.
