EP. 1246 POUNDING THE LANDLORD

Are landlords the unsung heroes of the housing market? In this episode, we explore the evolving challenges that landlords face, drawing a fascinating comparison between landlords and farmers to highlight their pivotal role in housing stability. From increased land taxes and rising interest rates to burdensome financial policies, we break down how these factors are reshaping property investment. We share personal anecdotes and delve into recent policy changes in Victoria to explain the tangible impacts on rental property availability and the broader market dynamics.

But there's more—discover the complex interplay of superannuation policies, government incentives, and corporate build-to-rent models that are currently sidelining individual investors. We challenge the prevailing notion that population growth is the main driver of housing demand, arguing instead for a focus on attracting more property investors to stimulate development. If you’re curious about navigating these turbulent times and uncovering opportunities in the property market, this episode offers a wealth of insights and actionable advice to help you make informed investment decisions.
