In light of events such as the Mascot Towers catastrophe, it is more necessary than ever to consider the complexities and risks of property investment, one investor shares. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Grace Ormsby talks with property investor Anthony Najafian, whose early purchase into the Mascot Towers complex saw him wrapped up in the fallout of one of NSW's most infamous building sagas. Anthony shares how the structural defects of Mascot Towers entangled him in a nightmare of legal and financial complications, and how he is approaching the rebuilding of his financial future and advocating for reforms to protect other property investors. The two also discuss the need for investors and policymakers alike to strive for greater transparency, accountability and protection in the housing market.
