In this episode of The Australian Property Podcast, Rask's founder and Chief Investment Officer Owen Rask gets behind the microphone to walk you through why it may make sense to exit property and use a diversified portfolio of ETFs (inside or outside of Super) to meet your income and growth needs.

Key point: It is not Super OR property or ETFs. But why not do a bit of everything?
