Investors feel more comfortable buying in their own backyard. They feel they understand their local market and it’s easier to inspect and check things out.

Buying interstate is more challenging. It presents the problems of how to research an unfamiliar market and how to check everything from a distance.

Those problems are multiplied when the market is hot and properties are selling fast, often for higher-than-expected prices.

That’s where a good buyers’ agent comes in.

Now, more than ever before, investors need a trusted advocate on their team.

On Wednesday 9 March, national buyers’ agent Alex Dutt from Adviseable joined Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder to discuss the issues of buying from a distance in a boom market.

Dutt and Ryder discussed …

• How and where to find excellent buys in a seemingly rampant market
• How to avoid the FOMO and hype trap
• How to make sure you don’t overpay
• Getting yourself to the front of the buyer queue as an interstate investor
• Current case studies
