How do you bounce back from a setback like the global financial crisis? For this investor, failures are just bends in the road — not the end of it. In this episode, Tam Thorogood talks to SPI’s Grace Ormsby about how her simple quest to “do something responsible” at the young age of 20 transformed into a long-term commitment to secure financial stability through property investment. While the former air force official now touts a 10-property strong portfolio and a six-figure income from her investments, Tam reveals that the path to get where she is today has been far from smooth sailing. She enumerates the trials and tribulations she encountered throughout the 30-year investment property journey while sharing how she turned every knock-back into a comeback.  The duo also unpacks Tam’s future plans for her portfolio amid the shifting market conditions and regulations and discusses why flexibility (and a healthy dose of tenacity) is a must-have trait for every investor.

On the latest episode of Inside Commercial Property with Rethink Investing, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Scott O’Neill discuss why commercial property remains a solid investment vehicle amid the changing behaviour in the residential sector. In the face of the Reserve Bank of Australia continuing to frontload its rate rise cycle and dampened consumer confidence, the duo unpacks the solid economic fundamentals that continue to underpin the commercial sector and explains why investing in commercial property remains a more profitable venture than having it parked in an offset account or other assets such as stocks.

Should investors focus on timing the market or time on the market? When it comes to this age-old question, these experts say that the optimal buying and selling windows will depend on an investor’s unique circumstances.  In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar unpack property market cycles and why investors should stop viewing it as a clockwork process with specific phases, but rather focus on the different trends and events that drive the market’s movement. The trio also emphasise that no strategy is “set in stone” and explain that remaining invested over the long run or trying to profit from turning points in the market will work in favour of an investor, as long as their strategy aligns with their long-term goals, financial position and portfolio.  Lastly, the experts underline that good fundamentals will continue to be the tried-and-tested formula to having a successful real estate investment, no matter where the property market cycle is currently at.
