Many investors often think of retirement as the end goal of their property journey. But there’s an entirely new chapter to consider after that. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by director of Atlas Property Group, Lachlan Vidler, to discuss the current sentiment surrounding property investment in Australia, and the viability of generational portfolios. Highlighting the value of a data-driven approach to property investment, Lachlan shares his belief that the sentiment around property investment is improving but will still be beholden to broader affordability and supply challenges. Phil also discusses the feasibility of cultivating a generational property portfolio, highlighting the current difficulties around quickly building a positively geared portfolio, and emphasising the hard work involved in building out a successful portfolio.

Australia’s “housing disaster” could soon turn catastrophic, says former Victorian Supreme Court justice Kevin Bell. To counter this, the nation needs not just legislative action but also a reframing of our collective mindset to view housing not as the great Australian dream but as a fundamental right.
