When it comes to property investing, the noise from the financial media can be deafening.

But how much of what they say is really worth your attention?

There are many commonly held beliefs about property investing that aren't only questionable but are also utterly false.

Sadly, some investors go through their entire property journey believing them. And that's a shame.

They waste precious time buying the wrong property or using faulty strategies because they listened to bad advice.

So in today's show Brett Warren and I discuss the myths perpetuated by financial media, and the role of property investors in the Australian economy.

Takeaways

• The financial media often misrepresents property investment.
• Investors are typically everyday people, not greedy.
• Property investment requires a long-term perspective.
• Cash flow is important, but capital growth is essential.
• A strategic plan is crucial for successful investing.
• Fear-based media can hinder investment decisions.
• Independent advice is valuable and often necessary.
• Understanding market cycles is vital for investors.
• Experience in property investment is irreplaceable.
