Is it better to invest in a house or an apartment? That’s an age-old question, but not one easy to answer. In fact, a few things have happened over the last few years that have caused investors to increasingly shy away from investing in apartments. So today, I'm going to discuss this topic with Brett Warren, national director of Metropole, and even if you're not considering investing in an apartment, I hope our general discussion about what makes a good investment property and what to avoid will help you no matter where you are on your investment journey.

Have you ever wondered why some locations that could be labelled as 'secondary’ outperform the established blue-chip suburbs? What drives this unexpected surge in property value, and more importantly, is this a trend that savvy investors should be paying attention to? Should you be looking for these suburbs, or should you stick to blue-chip locations? I’d like to know if this is a mere market fluctuation, or are we witnessing a fundamental shift in what defines a 'smart investment' in our property markets? That’s what I ask my guest today, leading independent financial advisor, Stuart Wemyss, director of Prosolution private client.

The Australian Taxation Office is implementing some innovative strategies and forming new alliances to recoup billions of dollars of revenue deficit.

To discuss how to avoid getting trapped by the tax man today I'm joined today by Rob Thompson, Assistant Tax Commissioner at the ATO.

What will life be like in 10 years? Strategic property investors think in 10-year time frames,  they don’t worry about what’s going to happen to interest rates or the economy in the next six weeks or the next six months. In my mind, 10 years is a short term and the successful investors I know ponder about what the housing markets will be like in 20 to 30 years. We are living through times of rapid change, but most of us don’t like change. It makes us feel uncomfortable. We like a level of certainty about our future, health, and jobs, as well as about the worlds of finance and property that most of us are interested in. But there are history lessons that can provide us with valuable insights. In today’s episode, I’d like to talk about some of the things that never change in a world that never stops changing. Successful investors and businesspeople need to be prepared for change but also understand the things that don’t change. Hopefully, by the end of today’s show, you’ll come out with some ideas about how to get some more certainty in these uncertain times.
