Warning: This show has been marked as explicit On the latest episode of Inside Commercial Property with Rethink Investing, hosts Phil Tarrant and Scott O'Neill talk about how the economy's reopening will impact real estate markets – particularly commercial properties. It's all systems go for Australia's economic rebound, as the country welcomed its first international arrivals after more than 18 months of some of the world's strictest coronavirus border policies. With more macro and micro-economic factors coming into play, property investors should broaden their situational awareness before making their next step. In this episode, Phil and Scott delve into how the property market will react under the "new normal" conditions. They also discuss which economic and property market data should commercial real estate investors focus on (or ignore). The duo also talks about the importance of doing good old-fashioned research when creating an investment strategy.

While Western Australia is seen by many as a cheaper way to jump on the property ladder, this Perth local has looked elsewhere on his journey to a handful of properties – not once buying close to home. Smart Property Investment's Grace Ormsby chats with Sam Lindkvist, a Western Australian tradie who has only been in the property investment game for the last few years. Since starting out, Sam hasn't purchased in his own state, preferring to look over east for investment opportunities. Sam explains the rationale behind his decision-making – and shares exactly how he's already looked to diversify his assets, both through residential and commercial investments and geographical spread. The pair touch on Sam's goals for the future, chat through his upcoming plans, and consider whether Queensland's recent bull-run spells the end of an era for opportune investors.

With Australia on the brink of fully emerging out of the shadows cast by COVID in 2021, it's now officially open season for the property market. Will the current real estate trends buckle or boom under the "new normal" conditions? In this episode, hosts Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar tackle a raft of geopolitical, financial, and economic factors and events that are shaping the spring selling season this year. While it does currently seem to be all systems go for the property market, the trio warn investors against chasing get-rich-quick schemes that are proliferating the real estate industry. They also argue on whether trends that have dominated the property market scene at the height of the pandemic will continue as cities emerge out of lockdowns and borders reopen, before touching on APRA's recent move to tighten lending standards and how it could potentially affect current dynamics.
