Property Investment Podcast Network

In the latest episode of Inside Commercial Property with Rethink Investing, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Scott O’Neill paint the picture of the worst-case scenarios for commercial investors and how to solve them. Phil and Scott acknowledge that, like any other investment, betting on commercial real estate has its own set of risks. With that, the duo lay out the potential situations that can put commercial investors in a pinch before discussing practical and strategic solutions that can help them mitigate their losses or completely avert such a crisis from happening. And while there is no foolproof way to ensure a successful investment, the pair stress that having the right mindset is an investor’s greatest tool to overcome any downturns. They also touch on how different types of commercial properties are currently performing before unpacking what 2023 will hold for the sector.

Before we bid goodbye to 2022, we take stock of the core drivers of the housing sector and unpack which markets triumphed and which sputtered in the face of the different curveballs thrown over the year. In this episode, Smart Property Investment’s Phil Tarrant sits down with Arjun Paliwal, head of research at InvestorKit, to do a sum-of-the-parts analysis of how capital markets performed this year and discuss how rate hikes, regulatory interventions, supply and demand, and other factors shaped market trends. The duo also unpack the predictions from the self-proclaimed property nerd that hit the bullseye and which ones missed the mark. The co-host of The Property Nerds podcast also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the show came to life and what drives his quest to make data accessible for those who are interested in real estate.

The writing may be on the wall for the property market to witness a bearish market in 2023, but this expert believes there are still ways investors can take the bull by its horns.  In this episode, Smart Property Investment’s Phil Tarrant sits down with Sam Gordon, the director of Australian Property Scout, to talk about how investors can take advantage of a market riddled with fear and uncertainty.  While the pair acknowledge that the rate hikes and other economic pressures, such as inflation, will continue to dampen buying sentiment in the coming year, they also highlight that there are still select markets that can offer positive cash flow and strong capital growth if investors “buy the right property at the right price”.  And while the majority of forecasts for the market in 2023 are skewed to the downside, the duo underline how property will continue to be a reliable building block when it comes to wealth generation for Aussies.
