Pandemics, economic downturns, and geopolitical upheavals can create uncertainty in the property market – but good investors should have the resources to ride out the tide. In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop unpack the long-term ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on Australia’s key urban and regional housing markets. The pair discuss how black swan events can create panic in the investment community, driving poor sentiment and reactive decision-making. Phil and Paul turn to history to explain why panic reactions are rarely justified in the broader scheme of Australia’s resilient property market. They also zoom in on the Melbourne property market, and explain why this might be the favoured market for investors seeking sustainable future growth.

Designing your financial future requires careful planning – but don’t let rigidity get between you and your goals. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant chats about property plans with Adrian Lee, portfolio strategist at InvestorKit. Originally a management consultant, Adrian shares how a detour into the world of property investment opened his eyes to new passive income opportunities. Adrian discusses why it’s important to create a modular plan that can evolve according to life’s ebbs and flows. He also explains why modest three to five property portfolios are the unsung heroes of property investment, and busts some of the common myths about generating passive income through property.
